Members of the K-pop group ENHYPEN are facing criticism after fans raised concerns over comments made about Sunoo in the latest episode of their YouTube series EN-O’CLOCK. The episode featured the group enjoying a meal during a basketball court activity, but viewers have pointed out moments they found troubling.

While Jake was encouraged to eat more as part of his fitness goals, attention turned to Sunoo when he paused during his meal. Sunghoon remarked that Sunoo could eat more, and others joined in, laughing and suggesting he was watching his image. Jay added, “Sunoo could eat this entire table.” Sunoo did not respond directly to the remarks, and some fans interpreted his silence as discomfort.

Clips from the episode quickly circulated on X, where fans expressed concern over what they viewed as repeated comments about Sunoo’s eating and body image. Some users labelled the interaction as fat-shaming, pointing to a pattern of similar incidents in previous content.

One post read, “They’ve been publicly humiliating and bullying Sunoo for a long time,” while another shamed the members for being 'fatphobic'. Others highlighted Sunoo's silent reaction to the members' quips as proof of his discomfort.

The situation comes as ENHYPEN prepares for new music releases, adding more visibility to the controversy.

Although ENHYPEN has not responded publicly, fans continue to discuss the balance between playful teasing and potentially harmful commentary.
