On August 20, boy group ENHYPEN held a press conference in Seoul ahead of the release of their eighth mini album, THE SIN: BLISS.
This marks the group’s first release in seven months and their first album as a six-member group following Heeseung’s departure.
Regarding this, leader Jungwon stated, “From the moment we started recording, we focused on how to make the final product better, rather than the number of members.”
He added, “A few days after our team reorganization, we had a concert in Australia, and we thought fans would judge us based on our performance on stage. I focused mainly on how to present a good image while being as professional as possible.”
The group continues to focus on the team’s core value of “connection” even after the rebranding.
The keyword ‘connection’ has been part of ENHYPEN since before the rebranding. Going forward, we want to make many connections and spread positive influence not only through music, but also through various activities.
— Jungwon
Although fans were annoyed with the question, they praised him for handling it maturely.

need someone who’s emotionally stable, mature-minded, and capable of understanding the situation to give an answer like this. i mean no matter how hard you try to hate Jungwon, you can’t deny the fact that he really is the best leader. periodt. https://t.co/lS6l1gtYMf
