In terms of status, ENHYPEN is still considered a rookie, as they just debuted 10 months ago. The K-Pop idol group, under the management of BELIFT Lab, a joint agency of HYBE and CJ ENM, was formed through the survival show I-LAND.

Despite being only 10 months old as of September 2021, ENHYPEN's achievements are not inferior to senior K-Pop idols. In addition to winning various awards, including Rookie of The Year, they have also achieved fantastic album sales since their debut.

The same goes for their latest album DIMENSION: DILEMMA in this comeback, which has achieved a new record. According to BELIFT Lab, the album successfully surpassed 600 thousand pre-orders as of September 23, 2021, or 6 days since the pre-order period opened.

With this number, ENHYPEN has broken their previous album's pre-order record, which was BORDER: CARNIVAL released in April 2021. That album achieved 400 thousand pre-orders.

3. First Full-Length Album

Unlike the previous two albums, DIMENSION: DILEMA is a Full-Length Album (LP), and this is ENHYPEN's first LP since their debut. Because, in terms of format, BORDER: DAY ONE and BORDER: CARNIVAL fall into the category of Extended Play (EP).

Now, EP itself has more song listings than a Single Album, but fewer than a Studio Album or LP. With this format, DIMENSION: DILEMA will have more than 5 songs in it.

4. Present with a New Concept

DIMENSION: DILEMMA is sure to bring a new era and concept for ENHYPEN. However, it does not leave behind the mythological element that is closely associated with ENHYPEN's signature 'universe' since their debut.

If the vampire concept is closely associated with BORDER: DAY ONE and BORDER: CARNIVAL, then in DIMENSION: DILEMMA, ENHYPEN adopts a concept related to Greek mythology.

This can be seen through the 3 album versions and the concept photos that use the names SCYLLA, ODYSSEUS, and CHARYBDIS. In Greek mythology, SCYLLA is depicted as a female sea monster with 12 legs and 6 heads with spiky necks, and teeth similar to a shark.

Meanwhile, Charybdis is a sea monster that often transforms into a whirlpool. SCYLLA and CHARYBDIS become enemies of ODYSSEUS during his journey across the ocean.

Interestingly, fans are made curious about the photo concept ala SCYLLA, ODYSSEUS, and CHARYBDIS presented by ENHYPEN. Moreover, in the eyes of ENHYPEN fans, there is no visual hole, meaning that all members are not ugly.

True enough, in the SCYLLA concept, some ENHYPEN members appear differently with new hairstyles. Especially NI-KI, who grabs fans' attention with long hair. ENGENE, the name of ENHYPEN fans, is increasingly excited about the ODYSSEUS and CHARYBDIS photo concepts that will be released gradually.

While enjoying the process, look forward to ENHYPEN's comeback that will make you even more curious on October 12, 2021!
