"While preparing for the tour, we all lived in the practice room. We thought we had to show engene and not be embarrassed." (Jungwon)
As the saying goes, it was a high-quality concert. They composed a setlist that was like a novel, encapsulating ENHYPEN's growth story. The CD-swallowing live and the divine performance were also admirable.
The scale was also overwhelming. Five stages were set up throughout the grounds. The main stage alone was 64m long. Six large LEDs were installed here, and various movements increased the immersion of the performance.
The fan service was also outstanding. The members walked around the entire stage and got close to the fans. The comments during the performance were full of sincerity. They moved the hearts of the fans with their overflowing love.
ENHYPEN held 'ENHYPEN World Tour WALK THE LINE in Goyang' at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do at 5 PM on the 6th.
This is the second performance to mark the start of the world tour, following the 5th. Enhypen and engene burned 3 hours until the encore. It was truly a time-saving concert.
◆ Section 1: WALK THE LINE
The first section is 'Walk the Line'. It opened with a stark contrast between the identity of a vampire and the identity of a boy. From the start, Enhypen's worldview was strongly imprinted.
The opening two songs were vampire mode. The red moon rose and Enhypen appeared. They wore all-black suits and sang 'Brought The Heat Back'.
The next stage was 'Fever'. It is a dreamy and addictive song. The choreography was also soft. The rain fell lightly during the sunset, adding to the deadly atmosphere.
Next, Jay read the oath he wrote himself. "One. Enhypen is more real than on screen. Two. There is no tomorrow." engene also repeated Jay's oath.
Then, Jay threw a declaration and immediately presented a shocking reversal. They transformed into boys who rebelled against the world. They sang 'ParadoXXX Invasion' and 'Future Perfect' passionately.
In particular, 'Future Perfect' was overwhelming. Jungwon came up to the stage. He showed off his explosive voice that seemed to blow up Goyang Stadium. Then, all the members shouted "Druwa Druwa" in rock voices.
◆ Section 2: BEYOND THE LINE
It's time for the real Enhypen's famous songs. This section is a time to look back on the boys' growth from the past to the present. They presented a series of Enhypen's fundamental songs.
Enhypen's debut song 'Given-Taken'. The members showed off the first steps of vampires entering the world. They created an unforgettable scene with elegant point choreography.
'Blessed-Cursed', 'Fatal Trouble', and 'Bite Me' are also considered masterpieces. The cheers and chants were loud enough to deafen your ears.
In particular, 'Fatal Trouble' and 'Bite Me' were impressive. With difficult choreography like performance art, you couldn't take your eyes off them for a moment. The two stages were the reason why Enhypen is called a performance craftsman.
The units were also impressive. Jay, Jake, and Sunghoon's 'Lucifer' was fun to watch the members' facial expressions. The three transformed into wounded vampires, expressing a sexy yet sorrowful atmosphere.
Jungwon, Heeseung, Sunwoo, and Ni-ki's 'Teeth' was energetic. The four of them showed off refreshing vocals that matched the sharp rock sound. The dance was also powerful.
◆ Section 3: SERENADE FOR ENGENE
From the third section, it was time for Enhypen and engene. They confessed their love to engene and dreamed of a future where they would walk together. If the previous two sections had a heavy atmosphere, this time it was lively and sweet.
'Highway 1009' rang out. The phrase "Can you sing this song that contains our story with engene's voice?" appeared on the screen.
The members sang to engene while leading them to sing along. It was a sweet serenade that said, "You just need to stay by my side" and "I'll take you anywhere." 'Not For Sale' was also a fan song.
Before 'Your Eyes Only' started, Enhypen taught engene how to do the heart and shoulder dance. 'Orange Flower' also had a cheerful atmosphere. Enhypen and engene danced together and burst into laughter.
In 'Scream', they gave a variation of the stand mic. 'Tamed-Dashed' caught the eye with its elaborate sword dance.
'Sweet Venom' was memorable for its captivating shush choreography. 'Mo or Do' transformed the Goyang Stadium into a festival atmosphere.
◆ Section 4: ROMANCE
In the end, the reason for Enhypen's existence is the engine. The future must also be with the engine. That's why the last section of this performance was 'Romance'. Vampire, boy, romance, engine. They completed these four keywords.
'Hundred Broken Hearts'. The vampire princes held the golden rose stand mic. They also expressed the sad wounds of vampires through 'Still Monster'.
The highlight was 'Moonstruck'. As the title suggests, it felt like they had gone crazy because of love. From the opening dance symbolizing the moon to Sunghoon's flying choreography, everything left a deep impression.
With 'XO', they sent their passionate love to engene, and with 'Paranormal', they sang "a love beyond a miracle." The moment they finished 'Paranormal', a huge amount of fireworks exploded, creating a spectacular scene.
It's not over until it's over. During the encore time, fans from all over the world confessed their love with sketchbooks. The members also responded with a reverse slogan event. They held up slogans such as "Now we'll hug you tight" and "We'll be together for the rest of our lives."
Then, the sound of an engine was heard, and Enhypen came up on stage. They decorated the end of the concert with 'Future Perfect' and 'Highway 1009'. The reason they chose the fan song 'Highway 1009' as the ending song was also for engene.
◆ ENHYPEN and ENHYPEN are forever
Sunghoon said, "Goyang Stadium is the perfect place to promise eternity with ENHYPEN under the moonlight." Sunwoo also smiled and said, "I think we performed on stage without any regrets."
Jungwon said, "The mic broke yesterday. I want to refund the people who received it yesterday." He said, "ENHYPEN's future is only to always be with you."
"I read all the letters I received from ENHYPEN members alone in my room. One person came to mind, and he said, 'I'm glad that I don't have to find a reason to like ENHYPEN.' I was really touched." (Jungwon)
Heeseung also said, "I think this is a moment of growth. I will continue to work hard to give ENHYPEN members an exciting experience." Ni-ki also said, "Thank you for giving us such great love."
Meanwhile, ENHYPEN will land in Japan following their Korean concert. They will meet fans in Saitama (November 9-10), Fukuoka (December 28-29), and Osaka (January 25-26, 2025).
This is the shortest dome tour of three cities in Japan by a K-pop idol. They will visit Veruna Dome, Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuopa, and Kyocera Dome Osaka. This is Enhypen's largest concert to date. Additional locations will be added in the future.
