The group ENHYPEN has once again confirmed its status as a ‘K-Pop Top Tier Group’ by winning three awards at a major music awards ceremony.
ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Niki) was awarded the ‘Icon of the Year’ at the ‘2025 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA)’ held on the 20th at an outdoor performance venue in Macau, recognizing artists with significant influence. Additionally, they won the main award ‘Artist of the Year’ and ‘Today’s Choice,’ which is determined by real-time audience voting, bringing home a total of three trophies.
ENHYPEN expressed their gratitude, saying, “Thank you for giving us such an honorable and meaningful award. This year has flown by, starting from ‘Coachella’ to our album activities. Our 5th debut anniversary is approaching soon. We will work harder for our fans, ENGENE, who have supported us until now.” The members added, “We will always do our best to repay your love with sincerity,” and “We will work hard for the rest of the year to show you a wonderful performance.”
On this day, ENHYPEN showcased their ‘Performance King’ qualities with a stage that resembled a comprehensive work of art. The dense choreography reminiscent of dark fantasy, flawless live performance, and grand stage production made it impossible to take one’s eyes off the performance.
The seven members, appearing between structures shaped like a red moon, announced the start of the dazzling stage with ‘CRIMINAL LOVE.’ Amidst a dreamy atmosphere, the precise movements blended together, and the group dance showcased ENHYPEN’s powerful dance lines and synchronization, eliciting great cheers from the audience.
In the following performance of ‘Bad Desire (With or Without You),’ ENHYPEN overwhelmed the stage with intense facial expressions and sensual choreography. Heeseung’s solo performance also shone brightly. He captivated the audience instantly with delicate yet groovy movements that highlighted the details of his fingertips. From the final sexy performance of ‘No Doubt,’ ENHYPEN heated up the venue with their wide-ranging dance spectrum.
This year, ENHYPEN has achieved two grand prizes at the ‘1st The Awards’ and ‘ASEA 2025,’ continuing their momentum by sweeping multiple awards at various ceremonies. They showcased their powerful album sales with their mini album ‘DESIRE: UNLEASH,’ which was born under the guidance of HYBE’s chief producer Bang Si-hyuk, marking their second ‘double million seller’ in the first week of release. Only three K-Pop artists have achieved ‘double million seller’ status with albums released this year.
Meanwhile, ENHYPEN is meeting fans around the world with their world tour ‘ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR ‘WALK THE LINE.’ They will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium from October 3-5, and then conclude their world tour with an encore concert at the KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul from October 24-26.
