Yet, one clip gained attention, and it was all about Ni-Ki’s allegedly “rude” behavior towards Sunoo.

In the broadcast, the group was celebrating and had a cake. Jungwon explained that Sunoo should blow out the candles, but before he had a chance, Ni-Ki put his hand in front. He pretended to blow them out with his hands. The members suddenly seemed shocked when the candles were blown out.

Although the original tweet was deleted, the comments criticizing Ni-Ki were still apparent as they believed the idol had a “bad attitude” and was disrespectful towards Sunoo.

Yet, while some netizens shared their criticism towards Ni-Ki and his behavior, ENGENEs came to the defense of the young idol after believing that he had been a victim of unwarranted hate.

In the video, many netizens pointed out that after the candle had been blown out, Ni-Ki not only apologized to Sunoo. The idol also added that he had done it with the belief that his action wouldn’t blow the candle out.

The candles were once again lit so that Sunoo could blow them out like Jungwon had said at the start, with the idol being the “representative” for ENHYPEN.

After seeing the full video and the hate aimed towards Ni-Ki, fans took to social media to defend the young idol. While many pointed out that it was obviously a joke and that Sunoo had his chance to blow the candles out, others explained that Ni-Ki even apologized and shouldn’t be getting hate for something so lighthearted.

Netizens also shared that Ni-Ki has a close bond with Sunoo.

They shared evidence of the close bond between the two idols, cementing that the youngest member’s actions were not intended to be malicious.

ENGENEs want to ensure that netizens don’t get the wrong idea about Ni-Ki from a short clip. The idol was having fun and immediately apologized to Sunoo after the incident, proving that it was never meant to be malicious.
