The company seemed to agree with the hateful comments.

On Nov. 1, KST, another set of internal documents shared by MOVES began circulating online.
This time the leak appears to come from an employee of the company. It revealed discussions on various groups, including several under HYBE. These leaks included thoughts on ENIPENEincluding group performance a KCON LA2022.
In a section dated August 2022, HYBE first discussed the group’s burnout, which has been a constant concern for fans.
ENHYPEN’s continued exhaustion led to “frustrations” among members, “cancelled” by HYBE
The section is also specifically discussed Sunghoonfocusing on criticism of her appearance.
According to the paper, Sunghoon was the subject of negative comments on an online forum regarding his images, and the paper appears to agree that he appeared “less attractive.”
Also, I checked the videos because Sunghoon’s photos on DC Inside had a lot of comments about him looking less attractive and there seems to be a problem, like his face is swollen or something. I also provided frequent feedback regarding Sunghoon’s style.

The discussion went on to say that Sunghoon himself would need to find ways to “deal with” what made him “unattractive,” including weight management.
It sounds like if he has a tendency to swell easily, he should work on finding ways to deal with it. He may need to take proactive measures, such as weight management, to mitigate any risks himself. While this is not an unattractive team, their appearance tends to be more polarizing than expected. Sunghoon’s appearance must consistently meet fans’ expectations, similar to how NU’EST’s Minhyun served as a stable visual anchor for his group.

These documents also seemed to comment on negative thoughts about LE SSERAFIM, which you can read about below.
