ENHYPEN’s Kim Sunoo: The Sunshine Who Radiates Noble Influence

Rasheed Ogunlar once said, “It may take many voices for people to hear the same message.” ENHYPEN’s Kim Sunoo is not just voicing out hope through his music as a member of a globally loved 7 member Korean idol group, but he also shows it through supporting various campaigns. He is known as a ray of sunshine in the group that spreads good energy with a warm personality. Being a K-Pop idol requires the right usage of the influence you have on your fans, and Sunoo surely knows how to utilize it through his good deeds. He proves that he is beyond the beautiful visuals and artist that he is. 

From Weverse Magazine 2023, Sunoo says:

“I always want to be the best. If something’s not working out, I have to try harder. And it’s always good to aim high with your goals. (laughs) I want to receive recognition all around the world, and then I want to use that to be a good influence.”

But what makes Sunoo someone who radiates noble influence? Let’s find out today through the things listed below.

Fan-Created Charity Events Written Under Sunoo’s Name

Sunoo’s good deeds and acts of kindness have inspired his fans, ENGENES (the group’s official fandom name) and Baragis (the collective name of Sunoo stans) to emit the same radiance through philanthropic acts. 

Down below are some of the many charity events held under his name.

Sunoo’s representative animal is a fox, so fans have adopted foxes celebrating his birthday every 24th of June.

As a piece of information from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) says “The Moon does not shine with its own light. It simply reflects light coming from the Sun.” ENHYPEN’s SUNoo is the sunshine and his light of influence just reflects to his own fans by bringing a glimmering glow of kindness to his surroundings through music, positive words, and good deeds.
