In early June, the K-pop group ENHYPEN released their mini-album ‘DESIRE: UNLEASH’. Within just three days, the album made a strong impact on the charts. It secured the 9th position in both the ‘Combined Album Ranking’ and ‘Album Ranking’ on the Oricon half-year album chart. This impressive achievement makes ENHYPEN the only artist to enter these charts with an album released in June.
The success of ‘DESIRE: UNLEASH’ goes beyond its initial rankings. The album topped various charts, including the ‘Daily Album Ranking’ and ‘Weekly Album Ranking’. It also set new sales records for the group. Notably, ‘DESIRE: UNLEASH’ reached the top of Billboard Japan’s ‘Top Album Sales’, ‘Hot Album’, and ‘Download Album’ charts, marking a significant milestone in their career.
In terms of sales, ‘DESIRE: UNLEASH’ recorded 2.14 million copies sold in its first week. This makes it the second-highest selling K-pop album of the year. The album’s international recognition is equally remarkable. It debuted at 3rd on the US Billboard 200 and maintained a strong position for two consecutive weeks.
Looking ahead, ENHYPEN has exciting plans for their fans. They will release their fourth Japanese single ‘宵 -YOI-‘ on July 29. This single features three tracks that explore themes of desire and instinct towards loved ones. Following the single release, the group will hold a showcase on July 31 to connect with local fans, further strengthening their bond with supporters.
Moreover, ENHYPEN is set to become the fastest overseas artist to perform at a Japanese stadium after debuting. They have concerts scheduled for July 5-6 at Tokyo’s Ajinomoto Stadium and August 2-3 at Osaka’s Yanmar Stadium Nagai. These performances are part of their highly anticipated ‘ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR ‘WALK THE LINE’ IN JAPAN -SUMMER EDITION-‘. This tour promises to be a memorable experience for both the group and their fans.
With their latest album and upcoming activities, ENHYPEN continues to solidify their position as a leading force in the K-pop industry. They captivate audiences not just in Korea but around the world. Their journey and achievements inspire many, reflecting the growing influence of K-pop globally.
