The group ENHYPEN has once again perfectly taken over the largest music festival in the United States, Coachella. With two overwhelming performances, they made a successful debut at Coachella and wrote a new chapter in K-pop history.
ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunwoo, Niki) took the stage at the second week of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival held in Indio, California on the afternoon of the 19th (local time).
Dressed in intense outfits reminiscent of rock stars, ENHYPEN delivered a passionate 45-minute performance even amidst the fierce sandstorm, showcasing their 'Performance King' qualities. The vibrant band performance, ENHYPEN's powerful choreography, and flawless live vocals combined to create an electrifying atmosphere.
From their debut track 'Drunk-Dazed' to last year's 'No Doubt', the 13 songs performed encapsulated their musical journey like a drama. The dance break in 'Blockbuster (like an action movie)' and Niki's solo performance along with the energetic new choreography in 'ParadoXXX Invasion' added to the visual enjoyment. The band version of 'Sweet Venom (English Ver.)', along with the rock version 'Bite Me' and the EDM version 'Drunk-Dazed', elevated the festival atmosphere to its peak.
ENHYPEN focused on delivering their energy using handheld microphones, expressing a deep musical color. The numerous fans who filled the Sahara stage responded with enthusiastic cheers and group singing. ENHYPEN stated, "You were all amazing today. We will greet you soon with a world tour, so please look forward to it. Thank you for creating an incredible two weeks."
Meanwhile, towards the end of the performance, the large screen on the Sahara stage revealed the title of their upcoming mini album 'DESIRE: UNLEASH', set to be released on June 5, which excited global fans. Additionally, the phrase 'CAN'T TOUCH YOU, BUT I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE' was inscribed, raising curiosity about its connection to the new album's story.
Expectations are high for ENHYPEN's dynamic activities. After the release of their mini album in June, they will continue their world tour 'WALK THE LINE' in Bangkok, Thailand later that month, and in July at stadiums in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, followed by 10 cities in the United States and Europe in August and September.
