Sam Nordquist was a 24 years old Black trans man who was murdered in 2025 by a woman he fell in love with over the internet. They spoke online for months and fell in love, Sam traveled to meet her in October and quickly went radio silent on his family. Days later he was found dead and he had been tortured by his “girlfriend” and her friends. The ringleader of whom pleaded guilty June 30th, 2026. This was not called a hate crime bc the people who murdered him were members of the lgbt community.

Juniper Blessing was 19 years old when she was murdered in her off campus housings laundry room. Yesterday her murderer was found incompetent to stand trial, they were competent enough to stab her and leave her for dead but not competent enough to be charged for it.

Yesterday on the last day of pride month the Supreme Court voted to change title IX to include “biological sex” leaving up to states to discriminate against trans women and girls.

Trans people cannot get IDs either their correct names even if they have all the information INCLUDING a birth certificate with their correct name on it. The government is now asking for school records to prove that you’ve been this sex the whole time. We are the depths of hell and it’s going to get worse.

Trans people in Kansas can’t drive because their licenses have the correct gender markers, you can’t get to the dmv without driving to fix that.

Gender affirming care for minors is being stripped away.

If you call yourself an ally and u say you love trans people get loud. All of this legislature is to make it harder to socially transition and live and exist as a trans person. They want to get rid of trans people in sports and in real life.

i've been with enhypen for almost six years, i practically grew up with them. and i’ll still be right here until your pathetic shithole of a company burns to the ground and our boys are finally free from your control.

your shitty little tricks wont make me erase a six year bond you’ve been chipping away at with your own mismanagement. you might be able to silence your artists, but you won’t silence me, or any engene who cares about them as people first. we’ll be as loud as we need to be for them. we're not giving up until you start acting like a competent company for once instead of a greedy, disrespectful mess.

HERE'S A REMINDER TO SOME OF Y'ALL:

yang jungwon is a part of enhypen.

lee heeseung is a part of enhypen.

park jongseong is a part of enhypen.

sim jaeyun is a part of enhypen.

park sunghoon is a part of enhypen.

kim sunoo is a part of enhypen.

nishimura riki is a part of enhypen.

ENHYPEN IS SEVEN.

to everyone who’s already accepted this and given up on them, these words are for you.

if you sit back and normalize it, they’ll keep doing it. do not forget companies don’t change out of kindness, they change when they’re forced to. every time you brush it off, you’re just making it easier for them to keep mistreating the members of enhypen, and the ones who end up paying for it are the boys themselves.

in this situation, please realize that blind optimism is not support. pretending everything is fine just because the company keeps twisting the narrative, silencing the members, and controlling what they're allowed to show/say or what you're allowed to see doesn’t protect them, it just protects the people screwing them over. so, i beg you, don’t ruin everything just to play nice, just to keep the peace. if you actually care about them as people, then act like it.

please please please do not fall into the company's games. and please stop hating on any of the members. stop calling them selfish, insensitive, or acting like they’re the problem when they’re the ones stuck dealing with all of this in the first place.

after jungwon’s live yesterday, the way some of "engenes" immediately started twisting things, giving up and accepting it, or turning on them is exactly what the company benefits from. don’t throw this back in their faces. they’re already carrying more than enough, and they’re probably going through hell behind the scenes.

and stop pushing these “6 member” or “7 member” narratives onto their faces when they clearly can't do anything about it. the last thing they need is us constantly reminding them of something that’s already been wearing them down. (istg the live pissed me off too as an ot7. we shouldnt fucking do that y'all, cmon.)

my point is, our enemy is not each other, and it’s not the members of enhypen. it’s the company that has been treating them like assets instead of human beings for years. don’t let them divide you this easily.

STOP FUNDING THE EXPLOITATION. STOP FUNDING THE MISMANAGEMENT. STOP FUNDING A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BASIC ARTIST RIGHTS.

please remember who you're fighting for.

just look at how they were all so excited for their first vlive... oh my fetus enha 🥺

please oh my god i cant do this shit i cant fucking calm down knowing that those mfers are out there and treating them like this when all the boys ever wanted was to live out the dreams they worked their asses off despite everything, through every obstacle.

boycotting hybe and enhypen is the best thing we could do right now. no, it is not detrimental to the group and trust me it hurts belift more than it does to enhypen.

please start a financial boycott and do not stream from enhypen, do not buy merch or albums from enhypen, do not buy tickets to any upcoming festivals or concerts they might have.

oomf explained it so well here and i take her words as mine. please refer to it if you’re still confused as to why a boycott is essential.

if it is too hard, i have gathered a bunch of substitutes you could use for streaming.

demus ( iOS only ) - music streaming platform from unofficial videos, not directly posted by belift.

musicolet ( android ) - music player for offline audio files.

spotisaver ( mp3 converter, to be used with musicolet ) - so you can convert the albums and import them on to musicolet.

bilibili ( video streaming platform ) - pretty sure enoclocks and other enhypen videos are uploaded here by unofficial creators with subs.

merch, albums and festivals are not essentials or necessities so please refrain from buying and attending them.

this boycott will only work if you give it your fullest. please do a fulfilling job so dada seung will be back in the group effectively.

I know it’s heartbreaking to face the pain of heeseung actually leaving the group, but let’s please not use our platforms to spread rumours without verification.

allegations of what has happened (e.g. heeseung crying in the halls, Jungwon’s weverse post) have escalated so far, only to be proven as false or not been verified. this only creates false hope. if the Enhypen members caught wind of people spreading misinformation, they’d be upset too, knowing they can’t say anything right now, especially heeseung.

people online saying that this is most likely not his decision and the company enforced it on him — that’s a very possible scenario considering the way he talked about Enhypen’s future plans, HYBE’s own internal issues with Bang Si Hyuk, etc.

I honestly believe heeseung was given an ultimatum by be:lift, since we know how the label constantly is milking them and barely gives them creative freedom compared to other groups. I believe he wanted to go solo, but also stay as a member of Enhypen at tbe same time (as many idols in similar situations do), especially with their contract expiration coming soon anyway.

but let’s not speculate too much into baseless speculation such as the rumours that were shut down as quickly as they arose.

we shouldn’t be focused on that, and instead, push our energy into what we can do. At the end of the day, the reason of why this decision was made doesn’t matter to belift, all we can do is deal with the situation now.

LINK TO THE PETITION! please sign this petition, we’ve reached over 900k signatures just today. engenes can help hit the goal to 1 million and over in just 2 days.

k-engenes have been protesting and sending trucks to HYBE—HYBE has even kicked a few trucks out. it shows that the company knows, the members know how much this is affecting engenes.

if they truly see what people have been saying on social media, and these possible rumours being spread, they’d only feel more helpless and guilty.

instead of sharing allegations, let’s spread the word, the facts and all of what we truly know. please don’t spread baseless and alleged rumours without clarification, and instead focus on helping enhypen and bringing heeseung back.

enhypen is seven. bring heeseung back.

please do not scroll, this is a very important message that ALL ENGENES must do if we want heeseung back.

as most of you might know, heeseung has "decided" to leave the group to focus on his solo career. BUT, this is not true.

heeseung DID NOT decide to leave the group, he was forced to. he was apparently seen crying and "crashing out" in a hybe hallway which CLEARLY shows it was not his decision. to add on, just a few days ago he was speaking about the world tour coming up, and participating in activities and events LIKE NORMAL. it was be so weird just for him to leave like that.

ENGENE, we are a team. we can bring heeseung back. for example, MARK FROM NCT. he left the group exactly like this but came back due to the FANS PROTESTS. WE CAN DO THIS FOR HEESEUNG ASWELL! PLEASE DO THIS SO OUR HEE CAN COME BACK.

THIS IS NOT FAIR! OTHER ARTISTS LIKE: YEJI FROM ITZY, TWICE MEMBERS, TXT MEMBERS, BTS MEMBERS AND MANY MORE ARTISTS ARE ALLOWED TO PURSUE THEIR SOLO CAREER WHILE BEING IN A GROUP. BUT NOT HEESEUNG??

we all call for heeseung's return while ALLOWING HIM THE FREEDOM TO PURSUE HIS SOLO CAREER.

ENHYPEN WILL ALWAYS BE SEVEN!

SEVEN OR NOTHING!

please reblog to spread awareness!!

by @jjwoned 🤍

hi guys, i redownloaded tumblr again just to make this statement but heeseung leaving enhypen has caught many of us off gaurd. i think everyone is devasted by this and yes i know everyone is thinking about a future with enhypen as six and honestly I don’t want that either.

i came here to spread awareness about what we could do as a fandom. please refer to this thread first of all.

link one — HEESEUNG did not make the decision to leave—he was kicked out of ENHYPEN.

this shows everything that adds up to heeseungs departure if anyone was also fishy about his sudden announcement like me. honestly, it makes sense.

but now that we are aware, what can we as engenes do? thankfully, twitter engenes made a thread of everything we could do from our side to fully support heeseung and bring him back.

link two — things you can do to help enhypen

sign the petition.

link three — template to email journalists about the situation.

link four — guidance on calling / faxing hybes investment companies !

link five — i found this account very helpful with keeping up with updates and finding out ways to help enhypen.

please sign the petitions ( as to my knowledge, we already have just over 500k ), rich engenes donate if you can. and most of all, do not stop talking about it.

this is genuinely the least we can do and it’s heartbreaking to me that we have to take action when their shitty company can’t do jack.

reblog this post, share it, do anything you can to raise awareness because this isn’t a simple decision you make, this is injustice.

this is not a happy topic, but animals cannot speak for themselves. we are their voice.

please read this

before anything: my blog is usually about cute, soft things, so i want to ask for a little permission to talk about something heavy and disturbing. this is about extreme animal abuse, especially against cats. please take care while reading.

there is an online abuse network that has been spreading and glorifying the torture and killing of cats, and a significant part of this content has been traced to groups operating in china, often through anonymous accounts and VPNs but it rarely gets enough visibility.

many people are still unaware that there are cat abuse groups, specifically in china, who torture and kill cats for fun, shock value, and profit. because there are currently no comprehensive animal welfare laws protecting cats and dogs in china, abusers often face little to no real consequences.

recently, photos of a cat in his final moments, after being brutally abused, began circulating as a “joke.” people laughed, shared it, and monetized it. many of the accounts doing this disguise themselves as large or popular “cat pages.” they post cute content alongside abuse, or pretend to be meme pages. even when people call them out in the comments, they ignore it and continue.

Summary of the incident

A cat entered a residence after food was placed at an open window. After noticing the cat inside, the person deliberately closed the window and door, trapping the animal. The cat panicked and attempted to escape.

The person filmed the cat’s distress, posted the footage online, then deleted and re-uploaded an edited version that removed the most abusive moments.

Chat records and livestreams later showed the cat being violently chased with tools such as a broom. The cat was injured, hid under furniture, and the person admitted to hitting it. Claims that the behavior was “gentle” were contradicted by video evidence.

Police intervened hours later. The cat was forced out shortly after. Further evidence showed the person lied about the timeline while actively editing and posting videos.

There is no evidence the cat attacked anyone. All available footage shows deliberate provocation and abuse.

Some of these pages are not run by animal lovers at all. in many cases, they are directly connected to the abuse or are profiting from it. they are literally making money from animals being tortured.

important clarification: this is not about chinese people as a whole. many activists, rescuers, and animal lovers in china are fighting this every day, often quietly and at great personal risk. the problem is a specific abuse community, not an entire country.

If you have the stomach for it, you can look into it yourself across multiple platforms like weibo, x/twitter, rednote, tiktok, instagram, or even google. you will find exposed accounts, discussions, reports, and ongoing documentation. it’s disturbing, but it makes it clear how real and widespread this is, and how often it gets pushed into silence.

one well-documented case described by activists includes the following (content warning):

translation:

a particularly tenacious cat endured three days of hunger, being pricked with an iron pick, cut with a knife, beaten, tied up with electrical wire and thrown into a pile of leaves, had its nails pulled out with pliers, had all four paws cut off while still alive with scissors, and was dragged over long distances both on land and in water before ultimately being burned alive. throughout the entire ordeal, the cat only panted and never let out a cry. xu zhihui mentioned this incident in a Q&A group about animal cruelty, but did not realize that panting is a fighting posture for cats — the cat never surrendered until its death.

there are no serious legal consequences in china for brutally abusing cats or dogs (unless the animal is legally protected, like pandas or tigers). in this specific case, the abuser was only caught because one of the cats had been stolen and the owner reported it to the police. even then, the punishment was 15 days of detention.

there are many people abusing cats publicly, for entertainment and money. they share photos and videos openly, knowing that almost nothing will happen to them.

this is why petitions and international pressure matter. activists are trying to create visibility and push for animal protection laws. if you’re willing, please consider signing and sharing:

again this is not a happy topic, but animals cannot speak for themselves. we are their voice.

i’m sorry for bringing something this heavy into this space, but silence only protects abusers. animals deserve safety and dignity.

Edit: I understand that for many people this topic is triggering. But these abusers are making money off the animals they are torturing and killing. Ignoring this will only make it worse.

I felt physically sick while putting this post together, but I cannot pretend this doesn’t exist.

Ordinary people are sharing “cat memes” that come from abuse without realizing what they’re actually spreading. Many times the images are edited to look funny or cute, hiding the reality behind them.

Ignorance can bring temporary peace but at what cost?
