ENHYPEN opens the curtain on the music world of 2026 with a grand epic and experimental track composition, packed with a historic scale. ENHYPEN released a teaser video for their 7th mini-album 'THE SIN: VANISH' on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel at 10 PM on the 19th. The video condenses the story of the new album, depicting the escape of vampire lovers against the backdrop of nature such as caves and deserts. It begins with Sonu's intense visuals waking up on the ground, drenched in cold rain, showing ENHYPEN desperately fleeing somewhere. Moments of happiness quickly intertwine with scenes of confusion in the darkness, heightening the tension. A wanted poster featuring the seven members suggests their status as fugitives. At the end of the video, the phrase 'THE STORY BEGINS' signals the start of a new story, with 10 PM on the 22nd announced, sparking interest in what clues will be revealed on that day. The 7th mini-album 'THE SIN: VANISH' depicts the story of lovers who break taboos and decide to escape for love in a world where humans and vampires coexist. Hiding in a safe house while evading a pursuing team that follows societal rules, they experience a thrill and happiness beyond the rules, while also being caught in a whirlpool of complex emotions like guilt and remorse. To vividly convey this 'dark fantasy' story, 'THE SIN: VANISH' is produced as a 'concept album.' The entire album is meticulously designed around the flow of story and emotions, with the narrative, lyrics, and sound of all tracks intricately crafted. As part of this, the new release unfolds under the theme of a fictional exploration and reporting program 'Mystery Show' that deals with unresolved cases in vampire society. To provide an immersive experience as if listening to an actual program, the innovative track structure will feature not only the sound sources but also various narrations and skits placed appropriately. ENHYPEN, which has built its unique storytelling so far, announces a fresh attempt at a 'concept album,' expanding the boundaries of entertainment, gathering global fans' expectations. The 7th mini-album 'THE SIN: VANISH' will be released on January 16 at 2 PM next year.
