On February 16, ENHYPEN’ released a remake of BTS’ I NEED U to celebrate the 10th anniversary of K-POP ON!
ENHYPEN’s I NEED U cover is getting major love! It’s rare for remakes to receive such critical praise and public acclaim. However, ENHYPEN has struck a chord with fans and critics alike.
The members nailed the song with their beautiful vocals, but ENGENEs and solo stans couldn’t help but notice the unfair line distribution.
Fans are upset that Sunoo, Sunghoon, and Jay only got approximately 11, 6, and 12 seconds in a 3-minute song. They feel like it’s not enough and that it’s holding them back from showing their full potential and getting more opportunities.
Since this remake is part of the FATE PLUS encore world tour setlist, limited line distribution in this song might prevent these ENHYPEN members from fully showing their talents.
Fans are demanding BELIFT LAB to treat all members fairly and give them equal chances to shine.
In an interview with Spotify, Jay mentioned that I NEED U was the start of his dream of becoming a kpop artist. Since the song is so meaningful to him, he deserved to have more lines and screentime.
Regarding the cover, Sunoo shared, “We’ve tried out some fresh approaches in our rendition of I NEED U so that ENGENEs can witness a new side of us.”
Fans have been talking about Sunoo’s screen time and line distribution in ENHYPEN’s songs, and it’s definitely been a hot topic. It seems like he’s only getting a few seconds in some songs, which stans think is unfair.
Fans are expressing their disappointment that Sunghoon was used as clickbait in the teaser for the I NEED U cover released by Spotify. He didn’t get significant lines in the actual song, and it’s leaving them a bit frustrated.
They’re demanding that BELIFT LAB fairly distribute lines and screen time among the members.
