Guide to Enhypen
If you don't already stan Enhypen, you may wonder why this group got so big. They’ve only been making music for three years, yet they’ve already toured twice around the world. They’ve won numerous awards as well, such as the Rookie of the Year award from the Seoul Music Awards in 2021.
Enhypen have a strong international fanbase and I am saying this because:
They were once leading in the WWFC Top 10 on MAMA (surpassing BTS)
They get lots of interaction on Twitter/X (almost 400k-500k likes per post)
Most 4th gen K-pop stans keep up with this group
So, what made them gain fans? Why are they becoming popular? Is it because of their visuals? Their songs/performances? Their personalities? Their group chemistry? Because they came from a survival show? Or a bit of everything?
They have a dedicated fandom, known as Engenes, and it’s growing fast. Engenes recommend the group to other fans, and they vote a lot to help the group win awards.
They have a solid discography with lots of Spotify streams
Fans find each member to be charming in their own ways. They all have different personalities and appearances, making them stand out more.
They are a group under Hybe, which is well known and successful - well, self-explanatory
They were formed off a survival show - a large portion of the fandom started watching them through I-land.
The members pay attention to their fans. They post a lot on Twitter/X and Weverse.
People have a lot of time in their hands during the Covid pandemic, which is around the time Enhypen debuted, so people consumed lots of their content and thus felt connected to the group.
It’s these explanations combined that seem to explain the rising in popularity of Enhypen, especially in comparison to groups who debuted at the same time with them.
Now that you understand the hype, here are some well known comebacks by them that you can check out:
Given-Taken
Enhypen debuted with this song. It’s whimsical, a little eerie, and it marks the start of their teenage “vampire” storyline.
Drunk-Dazed
As their first comeback, this song kept Enhypen’s momentum going. It’s a party song with some spooky and gothic elements, since the boys are still vampires at this point in the story.
Pass the Mic
This song marks the first time Enhypen truly abandoned their vampire concept. The boys show up as regular people, singing a hype song and dancing powerfully. It’s still just as captivating as their other music.
Bite Me
Enhypen returned to their vampire concept, this time taking on princely appearances while dancing with intense ballroom-inspired dance moves.
Through their title tracks, and perhaps more importantly, their b-sides, Enhypen have taken on many sounds. From energetic drill beats, to emotionally-charged trap, to ballads, they offer it all. You might decide to become a fan because of their music. Or maybe because of the boys charming personalities.
