Enhypen returns as six-member group with new EP, 'The Sin: Bliss'

SEOUL, Aug. 20 (Yonhap) -- The six-member K-pop group Enhypen announced at a press conference that their main focus remains creating the best music for their fans. They made the remarks a day before releasing their new EP, The Sin: Bliss, which continues the vampire concept from their previous seventh EP, The Sin: Vanish, released earlier this year.

Despite changes within the group, Jungwon, one of the members, expressed that everyone feels the same way. The group, now consisting of Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-Ki, emphasized that their focus during the recording process was solely on producing a better album, regardless of the number of members. Engine, the group's fan base, provided significant support during their global tour and album preparation after Heeseung's departure last March.

The Sin: Bliss features ten tracks that tell the story of a couple discovering the joy of being together, creating a concept album reminiscent of a vampire society radio show. The title track, Bloody Paradise, is a Brazilian funk song with raw friction and electric guitar sounds, depicting the couple's escape as a form of paradise.

Julia Lewis, who produced Bad Bunny's DtMF, contributed to this track, along with Gaeko from the Korean hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo. The members expressed surprise at the genre's deviation from their previous songs but were pleased to include it as the title track. When inquired about the group's contract renewal next year, they expressed their commitment to delivering good news to fans and urged them to anticipate their upcoming activities following their Blood Saga world tour.
