NPS Says Fan Barrage Over Enhypen Exit Temporarily Paralyzed Its Support Center

The state fund says it is a passive shareholder that does not influence company personnel decisions.

Overview

  • CEO Kim Sung-joo said the NPS international support center was temporarily paralyzed last week by overseas calls and more than 1,500 emails in two hours.
  • The disruption blocked assistance for foreign residents in South Korea and Koreans living abroad who rely on the center’s services.
  • Kim reiterated that the NPS is a long-term, passive investor holding about a 7.5 percent stake in HYBE and does not intervene in corporate management or K-pop member decisions.
  • Posts on X circulated the center’s contact information and encouraged coordinated complaints after HYBE announced on March 10 that Heeseung would pursue solo activities.
  • Belift Lab confirmed Heeseung will not return to Enhypen despite the fan campaign targeting the state investor.
