ENHYPEN unveiled their long-awaited sophomore album, Romance: Untold, on Friday (July 12). The set is a follow-up to the boy band’s 2021 debut, DIMENSION : DILEMMA, which debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Since our debut, we have been expressing our experiences as artists and honest emotions through our music. ENHYPEN’s authentic story of growth is the biggest inspiration for our music,” member Jungwon previously told Billboard.
Romance: Untold “marks the beginning of a new chapter for ENHYPEN. The pioneering storytellers have previously captivated audiences with their series of narratives BORDER, DIMENSION, MANIFESTO, and BLOOD where they ventured across boundaries, confronted themselves in a complex world, took the first step forward to connect with their peers, and made sacrifices for the blood-bound ‘you,’” per a press release that announced details of the project last month.
It’s been an exciting year for ENHYPEN. In May, the group — featuring members Sunghoon, Heeseung, Sunoo, Jay, Jake, Jungwon and Ni-ki — announced that a feature documentary film focused on its dedicated fan group, ENGENE, is in the works from Hello Sunshine, the multimedia company founded by actress Reese Witherspoon. FANMADE : ENHYPEN will reportedly focus on the relationship between the group and the fan community by celebrating “ENHYPEN’s fans (ENGENEs) and putting them at the heart of the concert creation process.”
Trailing behind Romance: Untold on this week’s poll is Perry’s “Woman’s World,” with 13% of the vote. The song serves as the lead track to the pop star’s upcoming dance-pop album, 143, which arrives on Sept. 20.
