New K-Pop Boy Group ENHYPEN to Debut in November
ENHYPEN is making their anticipated debut this November!
On October 19, Ten Asia confirmed that ENHYPEN is set to debut in late November. At a later time, Newsen also got an information from a representative of Belift Lab, a joint project between two agencies, particularly Big Hit Entertainment and CJ E&M, who manages the group. The source shared that ENHYPEN is currently doing preparations and aims to have their first performance in November as a group.
ENHYPEN is composed of seven members, namely Lee Hee-seung, Yang Jung Won, Park Sung Hoon, Jake Sim, Kim Sun Oo, Nishimura Riki or Ni-ki for short, and Jay Park. The group was created through Mnet's I-LAND, a survival reality show that took place from June 26 to September 18 this year. A worldwide ranking was done to determine the six members, while the producers carefully chose the last member.
The name "ENHYPEN" was taken from fan suggestions. It means that like a hyphen that connects different words to make a new meaning, the members will discover and grow together through connecting with each other. Additionally, the new K-Pop group has already revealed its official fan club name on October 9 and it is "ENGENE," which conveys two meanings. First, fans of ENHYPEN serve as the "engines" that enable the group to gain energy and move forward. And secondly, ENHYPEN and its fans "share the same DNA to connect, develop, and grow together."
Prior to their debut, ENHYPEN already gained lots of fans not only in Korea but also in other countries across the globe. The group's member profiles uploaded on the official SNS captured the attention of the people with the members' individual charm. Not only that, ENHYPEN received more than 10 million hearts just five minutes after their V LIVE started, and the count didn't stop there. A total of 1.07 million viewers and over 159.8 million hearts were recorded after the broadcast.
Furthermore, the new boy group's official Instagram account has 1.26 million followers, the official Twitter account gained more than 1 million, the official TikTok account obtained over 1 million, and the official YouTube account has nearly 1 million subscribers. Considering this, ENHYPEN has established a K-Pop trend.
Stay tuned for more updates about ENHYPEN's upcoming debut!
