ENHYPEN revealed their determination to continue activities as a six-member group. This afternoon (the 20th), they held a press interview commemorating the release of their 8th mini album, "THE SIN : BLISS," in the Grand Ballroom of Mondrian Seoul Itaewon in Yongsan District, Seoul. In March of this year, ENHYPEN was reorganized from the previous seven-member group into a six-member group. This was because member Heeseung announced his departure from the group and decided to work as a solo artist. On June 22, Heeseung officially debuted as a solo singer by releasing his first single, "RIDE OR DIE," under the artist name EVAN. He is scheduled to make a comeback on September 7 with his 1st mini album, "DEATH OF ME." Leader Jungwon began by saying, "We always have the same feelings. No matter what the situation is, we have always put the stage and performance first." He continued, "Starting with the Seoul concert in May, which even the reporters came to, and through the North and South America tour and the Busan performance, we received so much energy from ENGENE (the fans' name). Through that tour, we were able to confirm that ENGENE felt the same way as us. Thanks to that energy, we were able to prepare hard until the comeback." He also added, "Since this is the first album after becoming a six-member group, what we always thought about was how to make the work itself better. From the recording stage of the album, rather than the number of members, we focused most on improving the completeness of the work, such as the quality of the recording and the performance." Jake said, "Since this is an album created by the six of us, I am really confident, and it turned out to be a very exciting album. Please look forward not only to this album, but also to ENHYPEN's future." ENHYPEN, now in their 7th year since debut, is scheduled to enter the re-contracting season with BELIFT LAB, the label under their agency HYBE, next year. In response to a question about re-contracting, Jungwon answered, "As for re-contracting, in reality, we have not yet discussed it specifically. We will do our best so that we can produce good results for the fans." Jake revealed their future activity goal, saying, "I think one of our goals is to continue performing in front of more ENGENE. Since we held our first concert in South America, there are many places around the world we have not been to, so if ENGENE are there, we would like to visit those places and perform." He further added, "Personally, we are making a comeback with a very good song, so I also hope for good results on music streaming charts and the Billboard charts." The 8th mini album "THE SIN : BLISS," which will be released through various music streaming sites at 1 p.m. on the 21st, is a new release seven months after ENHYPEN's 7th mini album "THE SIN : VANISH," released in January. The title track, "Bloody Paradise," is a dance song based on Brazilian funk. ENHYPEN sings of a lovers' paradise that reflects only the two people in front of them, even in a crisis where pursuit and escape repeat. ・ENHYPEN releases teaser video for title track "Bloody Paradise" MV ・[PHOTO] ENHYPEN holds press interview commemorating the release of 8th mini album "THE SIN : BLISS"
