K-pop stars Enhypen are in the middle of a banner year.

Back with their sixth EP, Desire : Unleash, the seven-member boy group under Hybe’s Belift Lab made their Coachella debut in April and are preparing to head out on a world tour across North America and Europe.

Enhypen — comprised of members Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo and Ni-ki — were formed through the music survival show I-Land. The show, a joint venture between Hybe and Korean entertainment giant Cj Enm, aired on the Cj Enm-owned channel Mnet in South Korea.

On the latest album, the group, unsurprisingly, explores desire in all its forms. Their lead single, “Bad Desire (With or Without You)” is endlessly catchy and sonically in line with past releases. The otherworldly music video starts with a chilling voiceover: “Did you really think I could just stand by and watch you disappear?” Enhypen’s lore — the...

It’s going to be a big year for K-pop, with powerhouse groups making more global stops on world tours than ever before. While there have long been local pop-up events and merch collabs that arrive stateside, and artists like Blackpink, Ateez, and Le Sserafim are now performing on massive stages like Coachella, snagging tickets to popular concert dates tend to be a race against the clock — requiring...

Loyal Engenes — i.e. fans of the K-pop group Enhypen — now know what they will be doing this November.

Fanmade: Enhypen, a documentary that follows K-Pop stars Enhypen and their fans, will be released in select AMC Theaters on Nov. 8 — and The Hollywood Reporter has the first trailer.

The film follows parallel journeys between the group and Engenes. It will show Enhypen as they perform on their U.S. arena tour, building towards the Samsung Galaxy Fanmade concert, where five female fans come together to create a unique experience for the band and the fans, according to a release.

“It’s just about community,” one fans says in the trailer, showing scenes of fans coming together. “I think all humans want community.”

The project hails from Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, owned by Candle Media, and Good-People, the new production banner from Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99 filmmakers William Swann and Casey Feldman.

An animated adaptation of the popular Webtoon series Dark Moon: The Blood Altar is now in development. Hybe Corporation's manhwa series is loosely based on the South Korean boy band Enhypen.

An individual teaser trailer featuring silhouettes of the seven vampire brothers based on the members of Enhypen was shown.

“The vibe is so different this time around,” Enhypen’s leader, Jungwon, tells The Hollywood Reporter on a Zoom from Seoul, South Korea.

Enhypen – comprised of members Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo and Ni-ki – released their second full-length studio album Romance : Untold last week, with “Xo (Only If You Say Yes)” serving as its lead single. Perfect for the summer, the Jvke-produced synth-pop track is a sweet and romantic anthem, a lighter affair than Enhypen’s typically darker pop offerings.

“This time around, with this album, all seven of us participated in writing the lyrics, and Heeseung actually wrote and produced a whole song,” Jungwon explains, hyping up his fellow group member.

The seven-piece boy group, hailing from Korean entertainment company Belift Lab (a subsidiary of entertainment conglomerate Hybe), were formed through the music survival show I-Land. The show, a joint venture between Hybe and Korean entertainment giant Cj Enm,...

Enhypen’s growth trajectory over the past four years is impressive, yet not surprising, given how hard the members have been working. Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki have been on their Fate Tour since July of last year (with the encore leg, dubbed Fate Plus, still ongoing). That doesn’t mean their other activities are on pause, either. In the couple of months leading up to the release of their second full-length album, Romance : Untold, Enhypen have held a fan meeting in Manila, performed at Weverse Con Festival in Seoul,...

Kcon, a global K-Pop festival featuring performances and panels, is returning to Los Angeles in July.

The three-day event, taking place at the Crypto.com Arena, L.A. Convention Center and Gilbert Lindsay Plaza in Dtla, will once again give local K-pop fans the chance to see a slew of popular groups under the same roof.

The festival, put on by Cj Enm, officially announced its lineup today (June 5) after having previously released a partial lineup earlier in the week. Acts such as Enhypen, SHINee’s Taemin, Nmixx and P1Harmony are among the groups set to participate.

“Last year’s Kcon L.A. marked a turning point and focused on expanding both the size and scope of Kcon, such as having a major media partner for the first time and we are excited to build on this momentum,” Cj Enm’s head of music entertainment Harry H.K. Shin said in a release,...
