A new K-pop boy group is coming to town.
ENHYPEN, the first boy band created by media company BELIFT LAB, is slated to debut this November.
Consisting of members Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghooh, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki, the boy group was formed through the survival show 'I-LAND'. The meaning behind the name is similar to the ‘hyphen’ that connects one word to another, ENHYPEN means that the seven different boys will connect to discover each other, and grow together.
On 21 October, the rookie boy group has confirmed their debut date with a new teaser titled ‘Choose-Chosen’.
