I’m proud of all the members of ENHYPEN for working with WHO and committing to encourage blood donation and save lives."

Tedros further commended the band for their influence, saying, "The last campaign was a great success, reaching millions of people. ENHYPEN and Engene have real power to influence the world. I’m your fan, too."
