Ensipen fans were furious after reports of serious privacy violations that the group’s dorms surfaced. According to a legal notice from Belift Lab on June 30, 2025, an unauthorized individual allegedly broke into an Engypen private home and attempted to secretly record its members.
The incident was reported to police immediately, and police arrested the suspect on the spot. Belift Lab said the charges include illegal trespassing and stalking violations under South Korea law.
The company said it expressed concern that this was not an isolated incident and that despite multiple previous warnings, such violations were only exacerbated. The statement also addressed the mental and emotional impact on Enhypen members.
“Recently, there has been a serious case of stalking in which an individual illegally entered an artist’s residence and photographed the artist illegally. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, he reported the suspect for a crime on the scene or for a crime of stalking. The suspect was arrested on the spot and is currently under investigation by police.
Enhypen fans quickly joined social media to criticize the so-called “fans” behaviour that crossed personal boundaries. Many noted that idols deserved basic safety in their homes and demanded long-term action. X user, @saniyasarchive, wrote

“I am truly pleased with this statement and the measures taken. They are being implemented as corrective actions rather than precautions, but this would have been ideal from the start – I sincerely hope that they can contribute to the man’s prevention and happiness now.” X user added.
“Congratulations if love for idols crosses into their privacy! You are not a fan, you are a threat. You are not part of their personal life and you are not qualified for their lives beyond the stage. Another wrote it.

Some people have held accountable to the agency and prompted stronger precautions sooner.

“From the airport, handle security and don’t point your camera to your face. Protect the artists.” The fan said.

In an official statement, Belift Lab outlined the steps it is taking in response to recent incidents. They promised stronger surveillance and legal action. These include not only stalking and trespassing into Enhypen’s personal space, but also illegal transactions of artists’ personal information.
These efforts reportedly include cooperation with international authorities, particularly when personal data is purchased and sold online on foreign platforms. Enhypen’s label mentioned,
“Specifically, cases involving illegally obtaining the artist’s phone number or address and repeatedly trying to contact them, or seeking them in other private spaces other than their residence or official schedule constitute a clear crime. Such conduct instills fear in the artist and causes serious mental and physical harm.
