ENHYPEN, who has reached their 5th anniversary since debut, conveyed their feelings of gratitude to fans. According to their agency BELIFT LAB on the 1st, the total shipment of albums released in Korea and Japan has surpassed 20.33 million copies. Out of their 16 albums, 8 works recorded sales of over 1 million copies. In particular, the 2nd full album "ROMANCE: UNTOLD" achieved "triple million seller" status, while the 5th mini-album "ORANGE BLOOD" and the 6th mini-album "DESIRE: UNLEASH" each achieved "double million seller" status. Their ticket power was also overwhelming. ENHYPEN held a total of 96 performances in three world tour series ("MANIFESTO", "FATE", "WALK THE LINE"), creating precious memories with 1.5 million ENGENE (the name of their fans). Looking back on their 5 years of activity, ENHYPEN stated, "Thanks to all of you ENGENE, we have come this far. We will continue to aim for higher goals and run hard without getting tired." -- Please tell us your thoughts on reaching the 5th anniversary. Jungwon: Looking back on the past 5 years, I feel like we have accomplished a lot of schedules. Thanks to ENGENE and the members, we have come this far, and we will continue to aim for higher goals and run hard without getting tired. Jake: It has been a meaningful time where I have created important moments with the members and ENGENE, and I have learned a lot. I want to continue to create wonderful memories with ENGENE while having fun. Sunghoon: Time has passed so quickly. While working as ENHYPEN, I have accumulated many memories and experiences, and I am filled with gratitude. Because of these precious days, I look forward to the future even more. -- If you had to mention the most memorable moment, what would it be? Heeseung: The first world tour "MANIFESTO" is the most memorable for me. Meeting ENGENE from all over the world, my happiness grew with each performance. Jay: The day we met tens of thousands of fans at the K-POP festival in Germany in 2022 remains the most special memory. It was the first time I experienced so many fans cheering for us after debuting during the pandemic. Sunghoon: I vividly remember the day ENHYPEN was formed through "I-LAND". It was a moment when a dream I had envisioned for many years came true, and I was moved. Niki: The "Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival" in April this year remains the most intense memory for me. It was a stage we created together through discussion, and it was a fulfilling experience. -- When did you feel that ENHYPEN's teamwork improved? Heeseung: After debut, when we had our first meal together, I felt our relationship deepened. We were able to understand each other better through discussion. Jake: Every time we get on stage and show good chemistry, I really feel our distance has shrunk. Especially on the day we performed a synchronized group dance as seven, I felt it strongly. Sunoo: While preparing for big projects like world tours and festivals, I felt our bond strengthened over time. Therefore, I feel a connection with the members during practice. Niki: For me, "Coachella" was very educational. While preparing for the performance, the time we spent gathering and discussing openly strengthened our relationship further. -- What do you envision ENHYPEN to be like in 5 years? Jungwon: I hope everyone grows into wonderful adults. Personally, I have the goal of becoming an artist who leaves a new footprint in the K-POP scene. Jay: I hope that in 5 years, everyone continues to be active and healthy as they are now. I want to become a senior group that sets a good example for our juniors and has a positive influence. Sunghoon: Just like it has been, I believe that when we reach our 10th anniversary, the members will have grown splendidly. I think we will show the best version of ourselves to ENGENE after achieving what we want to accomplish. -- Please say a word to ENGENE who has supported ENHYPEN. Jungwon: Thank you for teaching me the feeling of love. Five years may feel long, but for me, it has rather felt short. Please continue to support us! Heeseung: ENGENE, thank you for always being by our side. Let's fill the days we will create together with joy and laughter. Jay: ENGENE, I have truly been happy these past 5 years. There is nothing more important in life than happiness, so I hope every day is filled with smiles alongside ENHYPEN! Jake: I believe I can perform well thanks to the support of ENGENE. Thank you for always being with us during tough and happy times. We will return with a wonderful appearance. Thank you. Sunghoon: Thank you for always cheering me on so that I can work harder. I will work even harder for ENGENE, so please watch over us. Sunoo: Thank you for always supporting us. I will become an artist that you can be proud of, no matter where you are, and I will return more than the love I have received. Niki: I sincerely appreciate the infinite love you have given us. All seven of us are working hard to show better music and performances, so please look forward to it.
