ENHYPEN are gearing up for a comeback after sweeping top honors at major music award shows, including the 2025 MAMA Awards ― a victory lap for the fast-rising K-pop leaders.
HYBE’s label BELIFT LAB announced that ENHYPEN will drop their seventh mini-album, "THE SIN: VANISH", on January 16 at 2 p.m. KST.
Marking their first release in about six months, the project opens a new series, "THE SIN," centered on forbidden desires in the group’s long-running “vampire society” lore. BELIFT LAB says the album explores an absolute taboo in that world ― one that breaks the rules to the core.
This chapter teases the story of vampire lovers choosing to run to protect their love, continuing the narrative thread from their previous mini-album, "DESIRE: UNLEASH," which delved into the urge to turn a lover into a vampire.
Across releases, ENHYPEN have built a cohesive dark-fantasy universe ― boys on the edge of a new world who meet their destined “you,” confronting love, sacrifice, and desire as they come of age.
Each comeback has paired that sweeping narrative with striking visual concepts and high-impact performances. The septet keeps stretching its sound across genres, drawing praise from both fans and critics.
Their second studio album, "ROMANCE: UNTOLD," moved more than 3 million units, helping push their cumulative shipments past 20 million. After making a splash at Coachella, staging solo stadium shows in Japan, and expanding their global footprint with the "WALK THE LINE" world tour, anticipation for the new set is running high.
Pre-orders for "THE SIN: VANISH" open today (15th) at 11 a.m. KST. ENHYPEN will celebrate release day with a fan showcase at 8 p.m. KST at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul, which will also stream online.
