ENHYPEN will release their 2nd Studio Repackage Album “ROMANCE: UNTOLD -daydream-” on November 11th at 6pm. We will once again solidify our identity and at the same time convey a new appeal.

In this album, ENHYPEN expresses a “midday dream” in which they become convinced of a greater love through the time when “you” are not around. Expectations are high for their unique romance story, which was expanded on in the previous work. The new songs “No Doubt” and “Daydream” will be joined by 10 songs included in the 2nd Studio Album “ROMANCE: UNTOLD”, allowing you to see ENHYPEN’s wide range of music with songs from a variety of genres.

ENHYPEN has continued to achieve “career highs” every time they have made a comeback, such as ranking 2nd on the US Billboard 200 and achieving double million sellers within the first week of album release. With the expanded world tour, they traveled around the world, holding their first stadium performance in South Korea, and holding a three-city dome tour in Japan, making them the fastest K-pop boy group since their debut since their debut.

The following is a Q&A with ENHYPEN from his label BLEIFT LAB.

Q. Thoughts on the release of “ROMANCE: UNTOLD -daydream-”
HEESEUNG: I’ve been running without stopping this year, and I’m so excited to be able to meet everyone from ENGENE (fandom name) again so soon. We have added songs that deal with deeper emotions than the previous work, so please look forward to it.
JAKE: We worked hard to prepare to show you our unique songs and stages. Each song has been refined and beautifully arranged in a way unique to ENHYPEN, so please keep an eye on their activities this time!
SUNGHOON: Every time we make a comeback, we always look forward to interesting activities. Following this activity, I’m excited to be able to show you various performances until the end of the year.
Q.If you could describe this album in one word, what would it be?
HEESEUNG: “Body”. The flavor has become stronger. The album is sure to captivate the hearts of ENGENE members, as it offers a wealth of fun from various aspects such as music, music videos, and performances.
JAY: “Challenge”. It incorporates a different genre, atmosphere, and concept than anything ENHYPEN has shown before.
SUNOO: “The ultimate secret technique”. Since this is an album to be released before the end of the year, we put out everything we had left behind. I think the new song will have a strong impact.
Q.What part did you focus on prior to your comeback?
JUNGWON: I wanted to hear the words, “I’m good on stage,” so I worked hard to prepare for my performance. The choreography is especially cool, so I think we can show the charm of ENHYPEN that the ENGENE people want.
SUNOO: I did a lot of research on how to sing while recording. In order to make the most of the nuances of the lyrics, I added scratching and whispering to my voice, and I struggled with where I should focus to make the song sound boring and make the most of it.
NI-KI: Since this is the album that follows “ROMANCE: UNTOLD,” I thought it was important to convey emotions. So, I focused on this part in my practice, and I really wanted my efforts to be conveyed well to the people listening to the song.
Q.What is the appeal of the title song “No Doubt”?
JUNGWON: As soon as I heard it for the first time, I thought it was a good song. This song has a retro sensibility and is catchy, allowing you to comfortably enjoy the refreshing mood. I hope you can also feel that we have matured.
SUNGHOON: This song has an impressive point dance where they put their hands in the back pockets of their pants. It’s not easy to put your hands in your pockets all at once, but I hope many people will watch it and imitate it.
NI-KI: The straightforward lyrics are attractive. In particular, there is a lyric that says, “You are my answer,” and I believe that ENGENE is my answer, and it is the answer to everything. Please pay attention to these lyrics!
Q.What did you think when you first heard “Daydream”?
JAY: I’m confident that “Daydream” will give us something new to enjoy. It’s a song from a genre that ENHYPEN has never performed before, so I’m even more excited to see how the fans will listen to it.
SUNGHOON: I’m glad it looks like I’ll be able to try something new. It was difficult to follow the rhythm of hip-hop, but I kept repeating it and practicing to get the feel of the song.
NI-KI: Actually, there were a lot of good songs, including “Daydream.” “Daydream” is a song in a genre that I have never done before, so I was worried about how to express whisper rap, but I wanted to give it a try so I chose this song. The members had the same idea.
Q. What are the “unquestionable” strengths for ENHYPEN?
JUNGWON: I would like to point out communication with fans. I think communication with the people at ENGENE is the most basic thing, so I always try to express my feelings. So I’m trying to communicate more with the people at ENGENE and empathize with them.
JAY: I think it’s a passion. All the members of ENHYPEN never waste anything, and their personalities make it hard for them to put up with things like this.
JAKE: I think the year-end stage that ENHYPEN will show is the part that leaves no room for doubt. We are always working hard for a good stage, and we are working even harder to prepare thinking that the end of the year is ENHYPEN, so please believe in us and look forward to it!
Q.When you look back on 2024?
HEESEUNG: As ENHYPEN has grown, I think a lot has changed for me as well. It was a year where I felt like my musical limitations had diminished, and I felt like I was one step closer to achieving my dreams.
JAKE: It seems like you accomplished a lot of what you had planned this year. Because my goal this year was to meet a lot of ENGENE people. While on the world tour, we were able to show off a lot of our stages. I would like to ride this momentum and finish it well by the end of the year.
SUNOO: There were many things we accomplished with ENHYPEN, and it was a meaningful year for me. I want to enjoy the rest of 2024 while successfully completing my activities for “ROMANCE: UNTOLD -daydream-”.
Q. A message to the fans who have been waiting for your comeback?
JUNGWON: While preparing this album, I went through various experiences, but I met the ENGENE people and received strength from them. I can feel the love from the people at ENGENE, and I would like to express my gratitude.
