i’m just sharing the info i gathered from twitter, mostly from some of the fanbases. right now, the fandom seems divided on whether 2 boycott or not. the original fanbases are not participating in the boycott, but the enhypen turkey fanbase is.
personally, i’ve decided 2 boycott.
why?
1. zionism
— i think it’s quite obvious that hybe has some connections linked 2 israel, especially through their ceo, scooter braun.
2. money
— i’m broke as hell :crying emoji:
3. pressure on belift
— from the information i gathered, the goal of the boycott is 2 put pressure on the company. right now, enhypen is basically the main money maker for belift lab.
4. artists
— apparently, buying albums and merchandise, subscribing 2 paid fan platforms, streaming music or videos, and engaging with company posts will not directly hurt the artists’ personal income. they mainly earn through solo projects (songs, osts, individual content), solo merchandise or limited goods, concerts and fanmeetings, and individual brand deals or sponsorships.
i know the other 6 members hve said things like “please give us ur full support,” but that doesn’t always mean “buy our merchandise and stream our music.” it can also mean simply staying by their side and supporting them emotionally.
as this situation continues, i honestly h8 seeing how some people seem 2 care more about charts than the members themselves. the members are clearly going through a lot because of the mistreatment they receive from the company, so it makes me wonder why we would keep giving the company even more money.

@cuntyshit in my opinion, i decided not to boycott Enhypen hehe. I want to share with you so here is my reason:> - ENHYPEN is entering one of the most crucial stages of their career, with only about 1.5 years left before their current contract expires. Contract negotiations usually begin very early and may have already started. Therefore, this is a critical time for ENHYPEN because what happens during this period will directly impact the group's future as artists. - Currently, their brand value, influence, and public success are their strongest weapons. If those diminish, it will only reduce their advantage in contract negotiations. Therefore, boycotting their music, comebacks, stage performances, concerts, brand collaborations, or any activity that increases their recognition is completely unacceptable. If ENHYPEN's brand value declines, it will give the company a greater advantage in contract negotiations, potentially securing renewals on more favorable terms and limiting the members' ability to negotiate on their own terms. - Ultimately, the most important thing is for Engene to continue supporting ENHYPEN, helping the group grow and progress as much as possible, so they can receive more opportunities and offers from companies, manufacturers, investors, brands, designers, and industry partners. As ENHYPEN's success and recognition are strengthened, the members will be in a better position to make decisions about their future on their own terms, whether with Belift Lab or even with other companies. This is from a fanpage of V-Engene (Enhypen Support Team 2.0) I respect your perspective, and I know you want to give Enhypen the best, me too, but if boycott can affect Enhypen negatively too:(((. Feel free to share hehe. As you said, I don't get mad about it :))

at first, both boycotters and non-boycotters had valid points. but after looking deeper into the situation, i personally feel like many non-boycotters are more focused on the charts.
that being said, this is just my own perspective. after reading this, feel free to share your thoughts about whether you want to boycott or not. it’s completely your decision, why would i get mad about it :crying emoji:
also, i’m still trying to find the motivation to write again. it’s been a week since the announcement dropped, and i haven’t touched my drafts since then. we’re all going through it right now... but i’ll try my best to publish the new heejake story as soon as possible.
