Finally sharing the summary of your subreddit related feedbacks from our 2025 census (that closed in April, you can check Part I results here) as well as the actions and changes the mod team implemented or will be introducing based on your responses! We are open to your feedback here too and we’ll be checking in on how the community feels about the periodically!

Top 5 reasons to visit the subreddit:

1. News
2. Discussions, Theories
3. SNS updates
4. Official Photo content
5. Weverse live recaps

We also asked what content you wanted to see more and less on the sub! The question about what you wanted to see less of received fewer responses (so assuming there weren’t many things people wanted to see less of!), so only compiled a top 3 there.

Top 5 things you want to see MORE of:

1. Discussions, Theories, Polls (by a large margin)
2. Memes & Light effort posts
3. SNS Updates
4. Content/live clips
5. Fandom support for voting, streaming, etc. info

Top 3 things you want to see LESS of:

1. Edits, photos reposted from other platforms
2. Light effort posts & Memes
3. Fanart

Based on your choices and additional comments, these were the areas we wanted to highlight and thought we could make some changes in.

1. Discussions
2. Light effort/meme posts
3. Events and megathreads

1. Discussions

and r/enhypen vs r/enhypenthoughts

A lot of responses marked discussions as something they would like to see more of and there have been mention and confusion in general around r/enhypen and r/enhypenthoughts.

These 2 subreddits are managed separately, the moderators and rules also differ. There are topics around fandom drama, solo/mistreatment rants, etc. that we would still not like to allow on r/enhypen, but there are a lot of genuine and normal discussion topics posted on r/enhypenthoughts that could also be posted on r/enhypen without any issues. Everyone is free to post on the sub they personally prefer, but wanted to clear this in case there was confusion around this: the thoughts sub is not created to redirect all thoughts and discussions from r/enhypen. It’s a separate sub that allows different type of posts/topics and we sometimes suggest it as a platform if the post breaks r/enhypen rules but we think it’s still better discussed in a smaller engene space and not general k-pop spaces.

So in summary we would love the sub members to share more thoughts and discussions on r/enhypen too, as long as it’s not socmed drama, fanwar etc. topics (our existing sub rules about topics apply).

2. Light effort posts/Memes

On the topic of light effort posts, the responses were a little mixed as some would like to see more, some would like to see less of these type of posts, so we have been trying to find a middle ground - we have already loosened the rules around casual content (you may or may not have noticed), with the following changes:

• Photo posts are allowed for throwback, appreciation or compilation as long as it has a topic or some thoughts – we will be applying a standard so very low quality pictures will be not allowed (photos from the members’ private time and AI edits are still not allowed per our existing rules)
• Memes are allowed under the ‘so so fun’ flair as long as it’s not disrespectful to the members and are closely member/fandom related
• Clips from lives or other official content are allowed, if the clip has something of note i.e. not just someone looking hot for 2 seconds, or you not understanding anything, but a content that’s not easily accessible like a fansign, Japanese show or an interaction, a story, singing, a funny moment etc. We would prefer if clips were original from sub members and not reposts of other users’ clips or edits from socmed. If the content is only accessible from another user please give credit to the og post (some examples: award acceptance speech videos, a member singing a song on live, members appearing on other groups’ behind content)
• Edits Original video/photo edits made by the sub members are allowed above a certain standard (e.g. a filter or simple text on a photo would be considered below standard), no reposts of other users’ edits from Tiktok, Instagram etc.

We are hoping to find a good balance for the sub to feel more like a community and less dry without it becoming a twitter or tiktok 2.0, as most sub members stated they mainly look for updates, news and discussions here!

Following from the above 2 points:

We are considering changing the “Discussion” flair to something that would be more all-encompassing to include: discussions, theories, and a lot of what currently falls under the miscellaneous flair for light effort, appreciation, event photo posts like “EN- Talk” (name inspired by the name of their Twitter reply sessions back in the day and the “Gllit talk” flair on the sister sub r/illit but open to submissions).

‘Question’ might also be modified to ‘Help’ or something similar as ‘Question’ is often confused for what we consider discussion prompts and the purpose of the Question flair is more for Help/Advice purposes.

We’ll leave a comment with options to vote and feel free to share your thoughts on this!

3. Regular threads/events

Many seem to have been interested in having recurring megathreads and events so we will be launching a new regular scheduled post for New Engenes/sub members! These type of posts take time to find footing (e.g. the weekly discussion thread was hardly active for at least a year) so even if engagement is low at first we will keep them up for a longer period to see how they work!

We will have the following regular threads which will be kept pinned on the sub (including existing ones):

Baby ENGENE/New member “Connect” thread – New!

• Purpose: new joiners and engenes can say hi, ask help in finding content, identifying members and other questions, you can also exchange socials or look for fans from your country/demographic here, we’ll also link some useful starter guides
• Schedule: Monthly, 4th Tuesday of every month (subject to change)

EN-Coming – already live

• Purpose: summary of Enhypen’s upcoming activities and events
• Schedule: Every 3 months, posted in first 2 weeks of a new season

It’s the WeekEN-D – already live

• Purpose: general discussion thread where off topic is also allowed
• Schedule: every Saturday

Other threads/events mentioned:

• A continuation of the “EN-Vision” monthly recap was highly requested, this thread summarized the activities, news, achievements and contents from the past month. > Currently we don’t have enough manpower to manage this, but if more content contributors or moderators apply we will try to implement it!
• Tournaments and Prediction events were also liked > we will be keeping the yearly song tournaments and if the mod team grows we’ll bring back predictions and come up with more tournaments! The sub members are also welcome to run some of their own tournaments, you can always message the mods if you need some help with flairs or advice!
• The responders showed only moderate interest in a Monthly marketplace thread for all buy/trade/sell offers and selling questions, so we will not implement it but if the sub activity reaches a certain point we might eventually set it up and redirect the pc questions there. We have seen an uptick in price check questions which we will be redirecting to the kpopforsale sub or the weekly thread while we have no marketplace megathread.
• In the future if the manpower allows we’d like to start daily/weekly weverse comment recaps to highlight replies from members that are cute, funny or interesting!

Other topics:

Subreddit chat: the response was split and most of those interested would like it to be moderated so we are holding back on the subreddit chat for now.

Other subreddit: 40% said they would be interested in joining another enhypen subreddit for more casual content. As our time/manpower allows we will be looking into how to make r/engene more active and worth joining.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know in the comments!
