The 10-track album marks the first part of the group's "Romance" series of musical releases, their label Belift Lab said in a press release.

"Romance: Untold" weaves a narrative where the seven members of ENHYPEN find themselves drawn to an enigmatic character simply called "you," unfolding a tale of love riddled with secrets and obstacles, Belift Lab said.

The album's lead single is "XO (Only If You Say Yes)," described as a "romantic fantasy" pop song about "boys who are willing to do anything for you, but only if you allow them to."

"Romance: Untold" also saw the members become more involved in crafting their songs. Heeseung, for instance, took part in producing "Highway 1009," with all seven members contributing lyrics to the fan-dedicated song.

Meanwhile, Jungwon penned the topline for the song "Hundred Broken Hearts."
