During his appearance on Lee Youngji’s “No Prepare,” leader Jungwon hit on the group’s upcoming milestone, sparking discussions from fans.

When Youngji mentioned that the tricky 7th year was approaching, Jungwon shared that Super Junior told them that awards may seem important but that lasting long as a team is what was most important.

Jungwon stated that he thought that this was right, adding that the team was most important.

A bit later in the episode, Jungwon shares the thought that he exists because the team exists, saying that when that thought leaves, it is when problems come. He added that when looking at ENHYPEN, however, he sees the group lasting for a very long time.

Though Jungwon did not give an answer, his response as been seen as a sign that ENHYPEN will continue on for a long time and likely renew their contracts.
