ENHYPEN is set to make a long-anticipated comeback with a new digital single. According to Belift Lab’s announcement on March 31 via fan platform Weverse, the group will release Loose on April 4 at 1 PM KST. The single marks their first new track in approximately five months, following the release of their second full-length repackage album ROMANCE: UNTOLD – Daydream in November 2023.
Building anticipation, ENHYPEN shared a short-form spoiler video on their official YouTube channel, teasing the title Loose through a playful and symbolic performance. In the clip, members appear in a deliberately exhausted, almost lifeless state—visually conveying the song’s core mood. The track is described as a sleek and trendy pop number, enriched with a seductive melody and an alluring sonic atmosphere.
The group’s label emphasized the distinctive nature of this release, asking fans to “look forward to a new side of ENHYPEN,” suggesting a conceptual departure from their previous material. The release is poised to further cement the group’s ongoing artistic evolution.
ENHYPEN has seen remarkable commercial success in recent months. Their second studio album surpassed 3 million in cumulative sales as of March, marking their first-ever triple million-seller since debut. The repackage album ROMANCE: UNTOLD – Daydream broke records for the highest first-week sales for a K-pop repackage album, moving over 1.4 million units.
On the global stage, ENHYPEN’s momentum remains strong. The group ranked second and fourth, respectively, on the IFPI’s Global Album Sales Chart and Global Album Chart in 2023—the highest placement for any K-pop act that year. Their chart presence extends to major streaming platforms as well; title track XO debuted on both Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts.
International acclaim has also followed. Rolling Stone selected XO as one of the “100 Best Songs of 2024,” praising the group for “fearlessly pushing artistic boundaries” and for their bold conceptual storytelling.
Looking ahead, ENHYPEN is slated to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California on April 12 and 19. Their participation in the iconic event signals another step forward in their global expansion and presence in the Western music market.
