ENHYPEN opened a splendid curtain on a new world tour with overwhelming stage mastery and intense energy. Every moment was a climax, and it became a time to reaffirm the true value of 'performance kings' ENHYPEN. They held their fourth world tour 'ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR ‘BLOOD SAGA' (hereafter 'BLOOD SAGA') from May 1 to 3 at the KSPO DOME in Songpa District, Seoul. During the three days, about 32,000 ENGENE (the fandom name) filled the venue, while fans from 109 countries and regions, including Japan, the USA, Thailand, and Germany, shared the excitement through online live streaming. As the name of the performance suggests, the strong will of vampires to share the eternal 'blood saga' with 'you' was scattered throughout the venue, inviting the audience into a grand dark fantasy world. The bat-shaped stage and structures, bold lighting effects crossing in red through the darkness, and band sounds that heightened the tension provided an immersive experience that blurred the boundaries between reality and fantasy. ENHYPEN poured in the internal power they have cultivated so far and passionately sang 27 songs over 160 minutes, completing a dense stage. Every stage was organically connected like a dark fantasy musical. From the opening, the fierce momentum of the seven members overwhelmed the venue. ENHYPEN sharply expressed their determination to break through the world's oppression and reach 'you' with 'Knife', 'Daydream', and 'Outside', announcing the start of the performance. They then sweetly sang 'Big Girls Don't Cry', 'Sleep Tight', and 'Bills', changing the atmosphere while depicting a happy future, before rapidly following up with 'Blockbuster' and 'Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)', eliciting a great chorus from the audience. The three-dimensional production that utilized the entire venue as one stage was also outstanding. Dozens of dancers transformed into a vampire pursuit team, wearing red capes and running around the audience and stage, heightening the tension. The performances of 'Drunk-Dazed', 'Bite Me', and 'CRIMINAL LOVE', showcased in a creepy atmosphere, exploded the audience's adrenaline with passionate group dances. In the stage of 'Stealer', which was performed for the first time, the members' stable vocal ability shone as they navigated high-difficulty choreography while freely switching between falsetto and bass. Responding to the enthusiastic encore calls, the members returned to the stage to sing 'Knife', 'Go Big or Go Home', and 'Paranormal' with the audience, culminating in an exhilarating finale that burned out all remaining energy. At the end of the performance, ENHYPEN expressed, 'It felt like the three days passed in an instant, thanks to ENGENE creating a happy time. I hope it was an unforgettable time for everyone too.' They continued, 'This tour was prepared with the desire to create a concert together with ENGENE, so I think we were able to enjoy it together.' They added, 'Thanks to ENGENE, we were able to successfully kick off this tour. We hope for much interest and expectation for 'BLOOD SAGA'. We will stay healthy during the tour period and continue on.' After finishing the Seoul performance, ENHYPEN will embark on the full journey of their fourth world tour 'BLOOD SAGA'.
