Fans were left stunned when ENHYPEN members appeared to use strong language during their high-energy Coachella 2025 set, igniting debates and excitement across social media.
The K-pop group made their debut at the iconic festival with a powerful 13-song performance, but unexpected moments during their live vocals became the talk of the night. Clips of the show quickly circulated online, with viewers dissecting whether the group had broken character in the heat of the moment.

Social media erupted after fans noticed what sounded like spontaneous exclamations from ENHYPEN members during their Coachella set. Some viewers claimed the group used explicit language, while others argued it was misheard lyrics or crowd noise. One viral clip showed member Heeseung pausing mid-performance, with fans speculating about his unscripted reaction.
“I thought I was hearing things at first, but after rewatching the fancams, it really sounded like they were caught off guard by the crowd’s energy,” one fan tweeted.
“all my ladies out there, i need yall to bounce on this next one.”
The group’s live vocals were praised overall, with many noting their lack of backing tracks. However, the raw, unfiltered nature of the performance led to these unexpected moments gaining more attention than the choreography or setlist.
Fan Debates and Defenses
Online discussions split into two camps—those who found the candid moments relatable and those who questioned whether it was appropriate for the group’s image. Some fans argued that the high-pressure environment of Coachella, combined with the group’s intense choreography, could have led to unplanned outbursts.
“They were singing live with no safety net, dancing nonstop, and dealing with insane crowd noise. If they slipped up, it just shows how real the performance was,” a fan defended on TikTok.
Others pointed out that similar incidents have happened with other artists at festivals, where adrenaline and live mics create unpredictable moments. ENHYPEN’s team has not officially addressed the speculation, leaving fans to continue analyzing footage from the show.
Despite the controversy, ENHYPEN’s Coachella set was widely praised for its energy and stage presence. The group performed hits like “Drunk-Dazed” and “Bite Me,” with live vocals that impressed both fans and critics. Their custom Prada outfits, featuring cowboy-inspired denim and rhinestones, also became a trending topic.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa, who attended their performance, was seen enthusiastically singing along to “XO (Only If You Say Yes),” adding to the positive reception. Meanwhile, the group’s upcoming “WALK THE LINE” world tour dates were announced shortly after, signaling their growing global momentum.
