"I want to do a song with this kind of concept," said, Jake.
Jake asked his fellow ENHYPEN members what they thought of doing a similar concept, to which Sunghoon responds by saying it might take them five years for them to be able to do the concept.
With ENHYPEN only having debuted just last year, they will surely be able to try numerous concepts in the future.
