“THOUGHT I WAS HEARING THINGS” — Fans in a frenzy over ENHYPEN members cursing during their Coachella performance
ENHYPEN's debut at Coachella 2025 was a landmark event, marking them as the only K-pop boy group to perform at the festival that year. Their high-energy set wowed audiences, but it was the unexpected use of explicit language by some members that ignited a flurry of reactions across social media platforms.
K-pop idols are traditionally known for their polished and family-friendly images. However, ENHYPEN's second week performance at Coachella on April 20, 2025, challenged these conventions.

“All my ladies out there, I need y'all to bounce on this next one.”
Jake also said,
“Let's f*cking take this all the way. Get ready to sing this s*it y'all.”
Meanwhile, his bandmate Jay said,
“Get ready shake your a**.”
This bold approach aligns with a broader trend among K-pop artists seeking to break free from restrictive norms and express themselves more authentically on global stages.
The K-pop community responded swiftly to ENHYPEN's unexpected language. On platforms like Twitter and Instagram, fans expressed a range of emotions, from astonishment to admiration. Some praised the group for showcasing a more mature and genuine side. One fan tweeted,
