ENHYPEN will release the DARK MOON special album "MEMORABILIA" on May 13 at 6 p.m., simultaneously unveiling the music video for the title track "Fatal Trouble" worldwide. Prior to this, at midnight on the 9th, "MEMORABILIA" solo concept photos were released on the "DARK MOON" official SNS. Members expressed the appearance of a boy vampire from the spy era of 1967 who engaged in secret activities in a sealed room as part of "Children of Vanfield by DARK MOON," increasing anticipation for the album. (P) & (C) HYBE / BELIFT LAB Inc. "MEMORABILIA" is an album that expresses themes that run through both ENHYPEN and the "DARK MOON" series, such as "fateful love" and "the troubles of being a vampire," attracting attention. The album preview video released on the 2nd ranked as a popular rising video on YouTube in various countries and regions such as Korea, Indonesia, and India, proving the high interest of fans awaiting the release. In March, ENHYPEN's 5th mini album "ORANGE BLOOD" surpassed 2 million copies in cumulative sales, achieving double million seller status. The webcomic "DARK MOON: Altar of the Moon" surpassed 180 million views as of December last year, establishing itself as a global hit. (P) & (C) HYBE / BELIFT LAB Inc. They released the OST for "DARK MOON: Altar of the Moon" twice in 2022 and 2023, showcasing dreamy vocals and charismatic performances that match the characteristics of the urban fantasy high-teen romance work, loved by fans for its high synchronization with the work. The two IPs have become a better combination, increasing expectations for "MEMORABILIA." Through this special album story, ENHYPEN incorporates the themes of arrogance, curses, and fate from the "DARK MOON" series, hinting at a deep relationship by announcing the revelation of secrets related to some settings included in ENHYPEN's debut song "Given-Taken" music video in the webcomic "Children of Vanfield by DARK MOON." (P) & (C) HYBE / BELIFT LAB Inc. "MEMORABILIA" is the culmination of the strategy of so-called "Next Entertainment," providing fans with a wide range of experiences despite the two super IPs being in different industries but closely linked. This album is the first album produced as part of the HYBE original story, filled with rich elements that incorporate the identities of both IPs deeply through songs that are not just typical OST album tracks but also delve into the deep story of the vampire boys, maximizing synergy. Additionally, the different versions such as "Moon" and "Vargr," as well as the Deselis Academy Kit, are also points of interest. The album is characterized by materializing items that appear in the "DARK MOON" series, produced in limited quantities, giving special meaning to both ENGENE (ENHYPEN's fan name) and readers of the "DARK MOON" series.
