Following the announcement that Heeseung will leave ENHYPEN, discussions among fans have continued across social media. As fans try every means possible to bring him back, one particular suggestion has been drawing backlash online.
Recently, a post circulating on X (formerly Twitter) showed some fans encouraging others to contact the National Pension Service (NPS) regarding the situation. In the post, it was claimed that the National Pension Service is one of the largest investors in HYBE, suggesting fans should raise complaints with the institution.
National Pension Service is the biggest investor in Hybe, someone here said we should be really annoying and not let anything slip by. Here is their phone number for inquiries, in several languages. pic.twitter.com/R7NWjKsutY

Fans suggest clogging the lines with mass calling sessions.

If you have the time, please call their phone number and explain that HYBE’s stocks are at risk of falling and will eventually result in a loss of investment and profitability on their part. Their office opens at 9:00 KST! https://t.co/IGmp6GToyR

Other netizens criticized the idea, saying it was an excessive response to the situation.
International kpop stans are never allowed to criticize or make fun of Korean fans ever again because their levels of sheer stupidity are incomprehensible https://t.co/FUlTpM8F9s

Some pointed out that the National Pension Service hotline is primarily intended for pension inquiries and assistance for citizens, particularly older people.

Many other fandoms have chimed in, calling out ENGENEs for their poor research on businesses and investors, as well as for taking up a national resource important to people unrelated to Heeseung’s leave.
Yall mfs r actually sick in ur heads…the fact that u r not only blocking a service for elderly but also don’t have a single clue about how investors work…good luck with ur clown work https://t.co/7lczvOMFjX

Others also expressed concern that such actions could negatively impact public perception of the fandom, urging fans to avoid targeting unrelated institutions. As discussions surrounding Heeseung’s departure continue, the debate has highlighted how fans can get overzealous in their desire to protect their artist.
