The group ENHYPEN shared their feelings about returning to their fans after 7 months.
On the afternoon of the 7th, an exclusive media presentation was held at the underground bunker of the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) in Yeouido, Seoul, to celebrate the release of ENHYPEN's mini album 'DESIRE: UNLEASH'. Members Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunwoo, and Niki attended the event.
Sunghoon expressed his feelings about the long-awaited comeback, saying, “I feel good that the album, which many people worked hard to create, is doing well. Above all, I am proud and grateful that the ENGENEs are enjoying it, and I am thankful to be active as a member.”
Regarding the story contained in this album 'DESIRE: UNLEASH', Sunghoon introduced it by saying, “This album started with the question, ‘What would I want to do if I fell in love with someone too much?’ It expresses the desire and patience of wanting to become one with the person you love through ENHYPEN's emotions.”
Heeseung commented on the collaboration with Spotify to present a new exhibition, saying, “This is not our first time working with Spotify. We once did a project called 'Singles' and filmed other content, so it’s an honor to have a pop-up together this time. We are very happy about it. We will also be holding events in Tokyo and Jakarta, so please show a lot of interest.”
Regarding the title track 'Bad Desire', Sunwoo explained, “This title track expresses a dominant desire to turn you into a vampire. The paradoxical lyrics contain our feelings of wanting to be with our fans.”
On the recording behind the scenes, Heeseung said, “Actually, the recording itself was finished very quickly in a short amount of time. The song itself is great, and the established lines are so beautiful that it didn’t take long to record, and we enjoyed working on it.” Jungwon added, “When I first heard it, there was a hook part by Heeseung that kept lingering in my mind.”
Niki, who took charge of the introduction of 'Bad Desire', said, “I think it took about an hour. It was difficult to get the tone right, and it took an hour to get it to a point where I was satisfied with the whispering part.”
The immersive pop-up space 'Maison ENHYPEN', newly presented near Yeouido, is designed to sensibly embody the core themes of desire, romance, and change from ENHYPEN's mini album, allowing visitors to experience ENHYPEN's unique worldview firsthand. This event will run until the 14th.
