Fans were most excited when leader Jungwon said, “Hey chiobu,” followed by “Ai stead mai?”, glancing around as if to check if he had said it correctly.

“Sibei cute la,” the original poster (OP) wrote in their caption.

In response to queries from MS News, another fan, who goes by the name Cel, shared that she “cheered them on” during the fan interaction segment.

She added that others in the stadium were also “screaming, cheering, and laughing”.

Although this was not her first Enhypen concert, hearing the group speak Singlish was a first for her.

Cel said she also heard from friends that the members only did so during the third show, while on previous nights they mainly talked about the local food they had tried.

“It felt more special that I got to hear it on the last day,” she said.

 

A pit stop at the Singapore Grand Prix

Enhypen’s visit coincided with the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, where members Jake, Jay, Sunghoon, and Jungwon visited the Oracle Red Bull Racing paddock.

“Proud of Jay for playing it very cool,” the official F1 TikTok page captioned a post of the boys at the garage, referencing the member’s well-known love for the sport.

Subsequently, the members met Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda.

During his much-anticipated meeting with Verstappen, Jay appeared visibly nervous as he congratulated the four-time world champion on his first GT3 debut win.

In another TikTok video featuring Tsunoda, the group and the driver were asked what mattered most to them.

Their answers amused fans — Tsunoda replied “engine”, while Enhypen answered the phonetically similar “Engene”, the name of their fandom.
