Some ENHYPEN Fans Want Bella Poarch Canceled Over Comment She Made Years Ago

On Monday, BELIFT LAB released the tracklist for ENHYPEN's upcoming fifth mini-album, "Orange Blood."

Included in the tracklist are "Mortal," "Sweet Venom," "Still Monster," "멀어 (Far)," "Orange Flower (You Complete Me)," "Sweet Venom (English Ver.)" and "Sweet Venom" feat. Bella Poarch.

However, upon seeing that the social media personality and singer Bella Poarch was a featured artist on the album, some ENGENEs - ENHYPEN fans - said they won't be streaming her version.

"The way nobody asked for this, but I will be supporting my boys and my boys only," a third fan wrote.

Some ENGENEs are canceling Bella Poarch over a TikTok comment she made in 2021. X user @enhacentric wrote in a now-viral tweet, "[I'm] reminding everyone a possible Bella Poarch x EN collab or whatever thing [is] coming. She's a Zionist."

In a previous comment on her TikTok account asking if she loves Israel, Bella responded with a "yes."

With this comment, some fans alleged that the singer was a Zionist - in light of the Israel-Palestine conflict, which has killed thousands of people and displaced millions. A Zionist is a person who supports the national homeland of the Jewish people — Israel. 

Because of this, "Bella Poarch" trended under the K-Pop topic on X. As of press time, her name was the topic in over 31,300 tweets.

Another fan brought up the time Poarch received backlash from South Koreans in 2020 because of her Japanese rising sun tattoo. The symbol was regarded as offensive to South Koreans because of its association with Japanese militarism and imperialism when Japan ruled harshly in Korea. Poarch shortly apologized for it at the time and had it covered and removed.

Meanwhile, others tweeted in defense of Poarch. One user said, "I don't know why K-Pop stans [are] trying to cancel Bella Porach because of this screenshot from 2020 (or 2021?). Like come on, we know what's happening between Israel and Palestine, but let's not call someone Zionist because they said they 'love' Israel (before)."

"She didn't even tell other people what side or country she is supporting or cares about. Let's not...," the user added.

While there were negative tweets about the ENHYPEN X Bella Poarch collaboration, other fans expressed excitement about the collab.

"[Oh my god] I love her voice. [It's] perfect for ENHYPEN," one X user commented. A second user wrote, "I'm so hyped for this."

ENHYPEN's "Orange Blood" album will be released on Nov. 17.
