Fans of ENHYPEN have expressed frustration online after another schedule change affected the group’s video call fansign event. On March 8, the organizers of the event titled [VIDEO CALL EVENT 2] ENHYPEN ‘THE SIN: VANISH’ announced that the event would no longer take place on its previously scheduled date of March 10, 2026.

In an official notice shared online, the organizers says that the event has been postponed due to “unavoidable circumstances.” The video call event will now take place on April 2, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. KST, while the test call for participants has been scheduled for 7:00 p.m. KST on the same day.

In the notice, the organizers apologized to participants and fans who had been preparing for the event. They stated that the team would work to provide a “smoother and more stable service” and asked fans for their understanding regarding the change.

The announcement came shortly after another disruption related to ENHYPEN’s another online fansign events earlier in March. On March 2, a separate video call event involving ENHYPEN was canceled only two hours before its scheduled start time. At the time, the organizers explained that the postponement was due to the members’ poor health.

The second cancellation drew criticism from some fans, many of whom had already adjusted their schedules to participate in the event. Several participants also raised concerns about the lack of earlier notice. One fan wrote online,

“If you’re going to do that, you should give me a refund. What are you doing taking the money?”

Others also questioned the repeated schedule changes and expressed confusion about the newly announced date.

“Shouldn’t there be a clause that allows cancellation when changing the date of the call? It’s so arbitrary. What if I don’t receive the test call? What if someone else shows up during the call? Threats are rampant” said this fan.

“I don’t think there’s any need to badmouth the members. I’m just annoyed by companies that treat fans’ time and money as a joke” wrote this user.

“Is there a problem with Hello Live? Why does it keep doing that in the episodes they do?” asked another fan.

Some ENHYPEN fans said the situation suggested that there might be additional factors behind the postponements.

“There must be something going on. There’s no communication ” said one netizen.

“It seems like there’s trouble with the record label, probably due to money ” read a comment,

“At this point, it seems like there really was a contract problem” wrote this user.

“It seems like there’s trouble with the record label, probably due to money” added this fan.
