As the group has been releasing hit after hit, including songs like “Bite Me,” “Sweet Venom,” and“Polaroid Love,” they achieved the title of “K-Pop powerhouse.”

'I can't express it in words,' said Heeseung on ENHYPEN being dubbed as one of the 'K-Poppowerhouses.' 'We can't believe that this kind of title is what is given to our group. We wouldlike to express our gratitude as well for all the love and support.'

'Even though we sing in Korean, we perform in Korean, people can relate to our music, relate toour performances, and we realized in [that] music, everyone can really come together. Here inthe Philippines, we see a lot of our fans sing along with our song and every time we hear that,we feel like we’re very blessed and very happy,' Jake added.

What’s next for this powerhouse group? ENHYPEN is slated for a summer comeback this Julyand we can’t wait!

When asked what can we expect from the group next, Jake shared, “I think as a group, asENHYPEN, we always strive to become a better version of ourselves and we try to explore newmusic, different types of performances, different types of shows that we could do, and like I feelthat our upcoming album really shows that. You will get to see a lot of new stuff. I can’t say toomuch right now, but it’s gonna be something you guys haven’t seen before and it’s gonna havea lot of new aspects that most of our fans have not seen so I just want to say please lookforward to our upcoming album.”
