K-pop fans object to Enhypen’s ‘Bite Me’ backup dancers with fleet of protest trucks
- K-pop group Enhypen’s latest music video for the song ‘Bite Me’ features each singer of the seven-member group paired up with a female backup dancer
- Fans outraged by – and supportive of – the move have sent duelling fleets of trucks bearing protest messages to the offices of the group’s management
Protest trucks with LED signs were sent over to the office building of South Korean entertainment company HYBE on Wednesday. This took place two days after the release of Enhypen’s latest song titled Bite Me, per K-pop news outlet Allkpop.
The fans were requesting the removal of female backup dancers from the group’s latest choreography. In the song’s music video and stage performances, each singer of the seven-member group paired up with a female backup dancer during the chorus.
On Wednesday, photos of the protest trucks were uploaded on theqoo, a popular South Korean internet forum. “Remove the paired choreography with the female dancers completely. Only put the seven members on stage,” read an LED sign on a protest truck.
“Belift Lab makes a fool out of waiting fans. The company that obstructs the future of singers. The company that doesn’t have the will to grow. The label under HYBE with the least power,” read another.
