ENHYPEN's 2nd full album 'ROMANCE: UNTOLD' repackage sales are strong, and it has charted again in the American Billboard main album chart 'Top 10'. According to a chart forecast article published on November 24 (local time) on Billboard's official website, ENHYPEN's 2nd full album 'ROMANCE: UNTOLD' recorded 7th place on the 'Billboard 200' (dated November 30). This marks their re-entry into the chart after 5 weeks. Previously, their 2nd full album 'ROMANCE: UNTOLD' achieved its highest ranking of 2nd place (dated July 27) and stayed on the chart for 12 weeks. The repackage of their 2nd full album, 'ROMANCE: UNTOLD –daydream-', was released in North America on the 15th, significantly boosting its ranking. Billboard revealed that during the relevant counting period, 'ROMANCE: UNTOLD' sold 51,000 copies and recorded 3,000 SEA units (sales converted from streaming counts). ENHYPEN set a new record for the highest initial sales for a K-POP repackage (1.4 million copies) with 'ROMANCE: UNTOLD -daydream-', which expanded on the narrative and musical color of their previous work. New songs featuring genre challenges, such as the title track 'No Doubt' and the uniquely whispered rap 'Daydream', have also received positive feedback. Meanwhile, ENHYPEN, who will soon celebrate their 4th anniversary, released the timetable for '2024 ENniversary' through their official SNS on the 23rd. 'ENniversary' is a festival-like event where ENHYPEN spends time with fans (ENGENE) around their debut date (November 30) each year. According to this year's timetable, ENHYPEN will showcase special content over a total of 7 days from November 24 to 30. Supported by the love of ENGENE, ENHYPEN's relentless momentum, marked by a 'career high' this year, is expected to continue. They are currently on a world tour 'WALK THE LINE', hosting the fastest dome tour in Japan among K-POP boy groups since their debut, with stops in Fukuoka (Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka on December 28-29) and Osaka (Kyocera Dome Osaka on January 25-26). In April, they are set to perform at the largest music festival in America, 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival', and have a concert scheduled at Thailand's largest venue, Rajamangala National Stadium, in June.
