ENHYPEN's active participation in the process of releasing their 2nd full album on July 12 has raised fans' expectations even more. According to their label BELIFT LAB, all ENHYPEN members were credited for lyrics, composition, and production on the 2nd full album "ROMANCE: UNTOLD." While members have participated in lyrics before, this is the first time they have contributed to composition and production. In particular, "Highway 1009" is a song where all members wrote the lyrics. Member Heeseung participated in composition and production, previewing a music with a strong ENHYPEN color. Through the album preview released on the 5th, a part of this song was unveiled, leaving a deep impression with warm lyrics and a lyrical melody. Additionally, member Jungwon composed the topline for "Hundred Broken Hearts." This song adds ENHYPEN's unique youthful sensibility to an old-school R&B track, increasing curiosity about the original song. ENHYPEN has been involved in lyrics, recording direction, and choreography production in previous albums. They have been showcasing songs that captivate listeners worldwide one by one, proving the potential of their music. (P) & (C) BELIFT LAB Inc. Jay participated in writing the title track "Sweet Venom" of the 5th mini-album "ORANGE BLOOD." In this song expressing the heart of a boy who feels the poison of "you" sweetly and makes him realize he is alive, ENHYPEN created an interesting listening experience with dark mood lyrics like "spreading in my veins" and "inevitable to me." Heeseung and Ni-ki participated in the title track "Bite Me" of the 4th mini-album "DARK BLOOD." Heeseung raised the strength of the members' voices while directing the recording, making this song even more passionate, and Ni-ki participated in choreography production, delivering a performance like watching a fantasy show. Jake participated in writing the song "SHOUT OUT" from the 3rd mini-album "MANIFESTO: DAY 1." This song expresses the thrill and fun of boys who speak out for the first time to the world with "I" as the subject, gathering attention to the extent of recording 1st and 2nd place in MelOn real-time search terms immediately after performing on a certain awards show. ENHYPEN, who has steadily grown through the "BORDER," "DIMENSION," "MANIFESTO," and "BLOOD" series, will open a new chapter in the album narrative with the 2nd full album "ROMANCE: UNTOLD." BELIFT LAB conveyed that "ENHYPEN's full album is about 2 years and 9 months since their last one, so both the members and production staff have poured their hearts into achieving a high level of completion," and that "it is reasonable to expect ENHYPEN's even richer musical color and authenticity as artists."
