Watch ENHYPEN Talk ‘Dimension: Dilemma’ Inspiration & Dedicated ENGENE Fanbase

ENHYPEN’s second mini album, Border: Carnival, charted at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 the week of May 19, and though the record achieved chart success in the United States, the K-pop stars wanted to take their artistry to the next level with Dimension: Dilemma.

“We were determined to show growth through our first album, so we worked even harder to reach perfection in every aspect of the album preparation process, including recording,  choreography practice, concept photoshoots, etc,” Sunoo explained. “We’re reaching the one year anniversary of our debut and we feel proud and thankful to see ENGENEs acknowledging how we’ve matured in our mindset and skills as artists.”

Dimension: Dilemma serves as a continuation of ENHYPEN’s story as a group, and seeks to provide listeners with an intimate look at how they have grown in the first year of them being K-pop stars.

“Since our debut, we have been expressing our experiences as artists and honest emotions through our music. ENHYPEN’s authentic story of growth is the biggest inspiration for our music. Continuing from the ‘BORDER’ series, ‘DIMENSION: DILEMMA’ is an extension of our story,” Jungwon explained. “We realize that our post-debut world is even more complex and multidimensional than we expected, and find ourselves in a dilemma while facing a variety of desires between being an artist, as well as an individual. However, this album contains our determination to move forward to find the answers.”

In light of their recent wins, ENHYPEN acknowledges that they have been able to reach where they are currently with the help of their devoted fans: “If it weren’t for them, ENHYPEN wouldn’t be here right now. That’s why we feel even more affectionate and grateful towards our ENGENEs, and we do our best to express that love through our activities.”
