ENHYPEN shows another 'growth'. ENHYPEN, which challenged drill genre and rap for the first time since its debut, expresses a different color.


ENHYPEN (JUNGWON, HEESEUNG, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNWOO, NIKI) released its third mini album "MANIFESTO: DAY 1" on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 4th.



ENHYPEN, which made a comeback in about six months after the release of its first full-length repackage album "DIMENSION: ANSWER," made a new attempt. ENHYPEN said, "I want to describe this album as 'growth'. It was my first time to experience an unfamiliar genre and I think I grew up trying rap for the first time. "I think I've naturally become stronger after thinking about how to create the best synergy," he said.

"MANIFESTO: DAY 1" tells the story of seven boys who have doubts about the success defined by adults, who decide to "no longer live as others tell them to, but find answers on their own."

ENHYPEN realized their calling little by little in the complex emotions they faced as they were connected to a different world through the previous "BORDER" and "DIMENSION" series. Based on this awareness, the album features seven boys who will draw a new future according to their will in six tracks of various genres.

The title song "Pass the MIC" is a Chicago drill genre unfamiliar to domestic K-pop scenes, and seven boys who realize their calling declare to their peers, "I'll move forward first, so let's go together." In particular, ENHYPEN expressed its desire to expand the meaning of "connection" for the future that will be created by itself through this album.

ENHYPEN, which has shown powerful performances in sharp group dance, will show flawless group dance again this time. In the song that runs from beginning to end, choreography with microphone motifs such as "Mike Checking Dance," "Mike Up Dance," and "Pass the Mic Dance" clearly expresses the message of the title song.

ENHYPEN hinted, "There is a movement that changes the position of the hand holding the microphone while grooving in rhythm, and it is a part that expresses the direction of the song well." They clearly express the atmosphere of "Future Perfect" with deep emotions and grand scale performances through the music video.

In addition to the title track, the first track "WALK THE LINE," "ParadoXXX Investigation" with old school hip-hop sound, "That Feeling When" with soft pop rock genre, "SHOUT OUT" with alternative rock genre, and "Electronic Pop Foreword" with hopeful images of boys moving forward to the next chapter.
