ENHYPEN met face-to-face with Tedros Adhanom, the Director-General of the WHO (World Health Organization), and shared the global results of their blood donation campaign. According to their agency BELIFT LAB, ENHYPEN met yesterday (the 22nd) with Director-General Tedros Adhanom, as well as officials from the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korean Red Cross, at the HYBE building in Yongsan District, Seoul. The group discussed the results of drawing voluntary participation from fans through music, and ways to raise social awareness. The Director-General highly praised the fact that the members took the lead in stepping forward for blood donation and drew actual action from fans. He said, "Blood is the most important gift anyone can give to another person, truly a gift of life. I am proud of all the ENHYPEN members who are working with the WHO to encourage blood donation and save lives." He continued, "The recent campaign reached millions of people and achieved great success," and added, "ENHYPEN and ENGENE (the name of the fans) have real power to influence the world. I am also a fan of all of you." ENHYPEN replied, "This campaign began with the hope that the people who support us would also participate together, and we are grateful that ENGENE all over the world took part. We want to continue creating meaningful change together with our fans." BELIFT LAB CEO Kim Tae-ho also stated, "ENHYPEN is an artist with a strong will to change the world in a better direction. We will think together about what we can do for a better world." Prior to this, ENHYPEN held a blood donation campaign with the Korean Red Cross in January of this year, linked to the "vampire" concept of their 7th mini album "THE SIN : VANISH." At that time, 7,730 people participated in South Korea, and 1,031 people donated blood for the first time, increasing by about 19 times compared with usual years. After that, the campaign was expanded to Japan and Singapore, gathering a cumulative total of about 10,000 participants, and in June they cooperated with the WHO to release content toward "World Blood Donor Day 2026," spreading their positive influence worldwide. • ENHYPEN cooperates with blood donation campaign!
