Orange Blood serves as the follow up to ENHYPEN’s May 2023 release, Dark Blood.
“We always try our best to participate in the making of our albums,” ENHYPEN member JAY told NME in June 2023. “For example, HEESEUNG participated in directing [‘Dark Blood’s] recording, so we try our best to make it ourselves.”
Who Are ENHYPEN?
ENHYPEN is a 7-member K-pop boy group including members JUNGWON, HEESEUNG, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNOO, and NI-KI.
ENHYPEN was formed through a South Korean survival show titled I-Land in 2020, and featured 23 male K-pop trainees competing to become HYBE Label’s next boy group. The show aired weekly from June to September 2020, with new episodes also being posted on HYBE’s official YouTube channel.
The trainees competed against one another in dance, vocals and rap every week, with members of BTS even mentoring some of the boys in a few of the show’s episodes. On its final episode, seven members were selected out of its nine final contestants, with six chosen by global rankings and one by the producer’s choice.
The seven chosen boys officially debuted as ENHYPEN in November 2020, with their EP and lead single “Given-Taken.” The group immediately met international success, and they’ve been reaching for the stars ever since!
During an exclusive J-14 interview with the members of ENHYPEN in July 2022, SUNGHOON recommended to start their fandom journey from the I-LAND reality show from which the group was formed. “If not, I suggest you start from our debut album BORDER: DAY ONE since we’ve released multiple albums since then,” he added, noting that ENGENEs (ENHYPEN’s fandom name) can always watch the “original content” and “vlogs” on their YouTube channel.
