Vogue France is facing criticism after making an embarrassing mistake involving ENHYPEN and Chinese actor Chen Zhe Yuan.
The controversy began after Vogue shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) covering the Saint Laurent Men’s Spring/Summer 2027 show.
In the post, the publication mentioned Chen as a member of ENHYPEN.

The problem? Chen is not a member of ENHYPEN. The Chinese actor is best known for starring in popular dramas such as Hidden Love and The Princess and the Werewolf, and has never been affiliated with the HYBE boy group.
The error quickly spread across social media, with both ENHYPEN fans and Chinese drama fans expressing disbelief. Fans took it in good humor, joking about the fresh debut.

Others questioned how a major fashion publication could confuse a well-known actor with a K-Pop idol group member.
Au lieu d’utiliser l’IA pour faire des recherches, une simple recherche internet suffit pour savoir que #ChenZheyuan est un acteur chinois et ne fait pas partie du groupe coréen Enhyphen ! 🙂 🙂 🙂 https://t.co/DOFYm2wPRc

The mistake quickly gained traction online. While social media teams occasionally make errors, many netizens noted that both are not even in the same industry, making the mix-up particularly surprising.
As the post continued to attract attention, fans called on Vogue to correct the mistake.
