ENHYPEN finds itself in trouble after several fans took offense to fatphobic statements made on a recent VLive.The seven-member boy group is one of the most successful groups in South Korea. With fans across the globe, the group has always enjoyed a staunch fan following, with members earning praise for their talent, visuals, and personalities. However, a few members find themselves in a soup with netizens this time after a recent broadcast raised concerns about the comments aimed toward member Sunoo.This is not the first time that ENHYPEN's Sunoo has been at the receiving end of fatphobic commentsOn June 19, four members of ENHYPEN, Sunoo, Ni-Ki, Jake, and Jungwon, held a live broadcast for fans on Vlive, engaging in a casual chat session. While the broadcast started well, with the members joking and engaging with their devoted audience, a particular segment appears to have grabbed the most attention. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn the clip, Sunoo and Sunghoon are conversing about the latter's reaction whenever the two walk past each other. Sunoo said,"Every time I bump into Sunghoon hyung, he’d always say a wild boar hit him and acts like he’s going to fly away."🗯@noogtfowill never let this be ignored1521704will never let this be ignored https://t.co/b67FoUXeKqWhile the statement itself was said jokingly, and the ENHYPEN member had a smile on his face, several viewers were left concerned, especially since it was not the first time something like this had happened.The other ENHYPEN members soon joined in the laughter. However, Jungwon's following sentence raised more alarm bells from concerned fans. In reference to Sunoo, he said,“The elephant one was really funny.”While this sentence may seem innocuous, it made many netizens uncomfortable, especially since elephants are commonly used when comparing someone with heavier animals.This was not the reference to Sunoo's weight made by the other ENHYPEN members on the show. Jungwon, in another story from the set, broached the topic and said,"The director told him, ‘Let’s stop here,’ (pulling Sunoo picture). Sunghoon hyung said, ‘I can’t, there’s an elephant sitting on it.’"Apart from Jungwon, ENHYPEN's maknae Ni-Ki also made multiple comments about the singer's weight, at one point saying,“Because he eats a lot…”ً@sun__oosthe fact i didnt even know abt this since no translator posted it and the only one who did deleted it immediately twitter.com/lunatheorbit/s…3677860the fact i didnt even know abt this since no translator posted it and the only one who did deleted it immediately twitter.com/lunatheorbit/s… https://t.co/WKhH49XwJlWhile all members, including Sunoo, appeared to find the comments funny, netizens did not feel the same. Given that Sunoo and his weight have been the butt of jokes many times in the past, netizens felt like the group members should refrain from making such fatphobic statements repeatedly. They also pointed out that Sunoo is already very thin, and these repeated comments about his allegedly "excessive" weight could harm him physically and emotionally.NOLO 🎀@myouiiiceI don’t even know who they are but if that small guy is an elephant then idk what is their standard🥲 I would feel insecure to be their fan twitter.com/noogtfo/status…🗯@noogtfowill never let this be ignored914will never let this be ignored https://t.co/b67FoUXeKqI don’t even know who they are but if that small guy is an elephant then idk what is their standard🥲 I would feel insecure to be their fan twitter.com/noogtfo/status…april͏@sunodsamarchdamn- whenever i see enhypen in my tl, its always them weight/fat shaming sunoo. these bitches don't even know how to stfu twitter.com/noogtfo/status…🗯@noogtfowill never let this be ignored34705will never let this be ignored https://t.co/b67FoUXeKqdamn- whenever i see enhypen in my tl, its always them weight/fat shaming sunoo. these bitches don't even know how to stfu twitter.com/noogtfo/status…채영아.@jjwaygi@noogtfo and the fact that some engenes said to discuss it privately? like no, this is why they never learn, and constantly keep saying the same thing about sunoo. like they’ll never learn until someone brings it up.13711@noogtfo and the fact that some engenes said to discuss it privately? like no, this is why they never learn, and constantly keep saying the same thing about sunoo. like they’ll never learn until someone brings it up.misa✰ (reW: gintama)@winglessmoathis is getting out of hand, sunoo looks like a healthy kid and he's completely fine twitter.com/noogtfo/status…🗯@noogtfowill never let this be ignored323will never let this be ignored https://t.co/b67FoUXeKqthis is getting out of hand, sunoo looks like a healthy kid and he's completely fine twitter.com/noogtfo/status…jana | mila's gf@DILFR4CHAi gotta speak on this because its getting a bit out of hand. so niki made a comment about sunoos weight and i am so sick of it. sunoo is perfectly healthy and in no way fat or overweight or anything like that. they seriously need to stop and know their boundaries.776139i gotta speak on this because its getting a bit out of hand. so niki made a comment about sunoos weight and i am so sick of it. sunoo is perfectly healthy and in no way fat or overweight or anything like that. they seriously need to stop and know their boundaries.ruki@seonnufiednormalize educating enhypen members who makes weight related jokes esp if it comes out as fatshaming sunoo, they need to be educated they just can't keep on doing this and this won't make me love them less i just want them to learn as someone who's been bodyshamed many times+ twitter.com/seonnufied/sta…ruki@seonnufiednot again34170not againnormalize educating enhypen members who makes weight related jokes esp if it comes out as fatshaming sunoo, they need to be educated they just can't keep on doing this and this won't make me love them less i just want them to learn as someone who's been bodyshamed many times+ twitter.com/seonnufied/sta…Many fans also expressed concern for Sunoo, calling his laughing a nervous, defensive act.

While the camaraderie between the four members won hearts, the singling out of Sunoo and the jokes revealed that a lot needs improvement.
