Recently, a popular ENHYPEN fansite tragically died after taking her own life during a TikTok livestream.
The incident reportedly took place at her officetel in Hangangno-dong, where she was broadcasting live on TikTok. The livestream is said to have captured the incident before it ended after police were called.
The Japanese fan, who lived in Seoul’s Yongsan District, had built a following of more than 80,000 people on TikTok. One of her most-watched videos features ENHYPEN’s Ni-Ki and has more than 1.5 million views.

Someone known to be close to the fansite has since shared another update.
A model and cheerleader named Minhee shared an Instagram story in multiple languages, stating that she had learned the news. She also shared a message stating that she would not be uploading any more updates on her account.
I understand the concern and worry
that have brought so many of you to this account.
My beloved older sister,
who was always kind and warm to everyone she met, has passed away.
I only received this heartbreaking news early this morning, and at this time, I do not know anything beyond this fact.
Even if I learn more in the future, I do not plan to share any further information or updates regarding my sister through this account.
I kindly ask that you keep my sister in your thoughts and prayers, and please refrain from further speculation or inquiries.
May she rest in peace.
— OP
It is worth noting that the term unnie was used, meaning that the referring to her as “sister” might be due to the literal translation.
May she rest in peace.
