During the live session, Jungwon emphasized, "ENHYPEN is six members," reiterating this point multiple times to eliminate any confusion. He noted that the lack of communication on this matter had led to misunderstandings and disputes within the fanbase. "I understand that many fans loved our past, but it seems some are struggling to accept our current identity. We haven't addressed this clearly before, which has led to ongoing debates about our lineup. I empathize with those who cherished the earlier version of ENHYPEN, but now… ENHYPEN is six members, everyone. ENHYPEN is six members," he stated.

Jungwon also expressed concern that these discussions are affecting the members during live performances.
