They are also continuing their world tour Walk The Line, with upcoming performances at major venues in Japan.
As part of their tour, ENHYPEN will hold concerts at Fukuoka PayPay Dome on December 28–29 and Kyocera Dome Osaka on January 25–26. This marks the fastest dome tour in three Japanese cities for any K-pop boy group, setting a new milestone in the genre.
With a mix of chart success, critical acclaim, and sold-out performances, ENHYPEN’s trajectory signals their status as a rising force in global music. Their ability to seamlessly connect with audiences worldwide positions them as one of K-pop’s most promising acts in the current era.
