In the latest live broadcast, Sunoo talked about Sunghoon's reaction every time he walked past him. The Handsome Idol Gets The Nickname Of A Wild Boar To An Elephant Because Of His Weight.
ENHYPEN recently drew controversy for always insinuating the weight of one of its members, Sunoo. In the V Live broadcast on June 19, Sunoo, Niki, Jake, and Jungwon were seen sitting together to chat casually.
One of the moments that caught the attention of netizens was when Sunoo shared Sunghoon's reaction every time he walked past him. "Every time he met Sunghoon hyung, he always said the wild boar hit him and acted like he was going to fly," said Sunoo.
Although Sunoo said with a joking tone and a smile on his face, many netizens were concerned about the statement. Other ENHYPEN members seemed to laugh with Sunoo's story. Jungwon even added, "The elephant one is really cute."
Jungwon then shared another story from the shoot, and once again related how the ENHYPEN members quipped about Sunoo's weight. "The director told him, 'Let's stop here' (pulling Sunoo's picture). Sunghoon hyung said, 'I can't, there's an elephant sitting on it'," said Jungwon.
There was even a time when they talked about Sunoo's stature and Niki said, "Because he eats a lot..." Although the ENHYPEN members seemed to laugh when quipping Sunoo's weight, netizens apparently thought otherwise.
Netizens think that the ENHYPEN members need to be educated more on the topic of body issues. Many also voiced concern because this is not the first time the members have been criticized for allegedly "embarrassing" Sunoo.
"I don't even know who they are, but if that little man is called an elephant then what about their standards. I will feel insecure being their fan," said one netizen. "This makes me angry, it's not even funny why they are laughing," said another.
"We can't let this 'joke' continue, they should stop doing physical abuse, we can't defend them anymore, this is really outrageous. They need to be educated," added another netizen. "'Sunoo laughs too', yeah? Then what should he do? Put on a stiff face and then sneer not knowing 'jokes'? Crazy," concluded another. (wk/charity)
