ENHYPEN (엔 하이픈) is a new KPOP group composedof 7 young idols who managed to survive the idol survival competition: "I-LAND," created under the name BE: LIFT Lab, jointly created by Big Hit Entertainment and CJ ENM Entertainment.
ENHYPEN means connection, discovery, and growth to come. The name comes from “Hyphens,” which play an important role especially at the beginning of sentences. At the same time, it connects and links words that don’t fit on the line in sentences with a baseline. Similar to “Hyphen” (hyphen / apostrophe), ENHYPEN expresses how the members discover themselves, connect with each other, and continue to grow together.
As the designated leader, 16-year-old Jungwon will be the spokesperson for the group and guide the boys through the ups and downs of the music industry. After debuting as a trainee at Big Hit Entertainment, the emerging artist topped the final episode of I-LAND with over 1.4 million votes. In an interview, he explained that his goal for ENHYPEN was to "become the best artist in the world!"
Born in the United States, Jay returned to South Korea when he was nine years old. In an interview with Forbes, he revealed that his English is now quite rusty, but he promises: "I will do my best to perfect my Korean, English, and Japanese to better communicate with fans!" Jay is also known for his skillful dance moves among the I-LAND contestants. In addition to his idol duties, Jay is also a true cooking star, playing the role of the chef who enjoys cooking for everyone on the show.
Outside of music, Sunghoon also stood out on the ice rink by mesmerizing the audience with his skating skills. Nicknamed the "Prince of Figure Skating," the multi-talented artist won two national junior silver medals and represented South Korea in several international competitions. It was only after seeing BTS in concert that the former competitive skater wanted to become an idol.
Born in Brisbane, Australia, Jake is indeed bilingual: he speaks fluent English and Korean. The young idol went straight from being a high school student in Australia to a student on I-LAND. Passionate about music since childhood, Jake has played the violin for years, but he revealed in an interview: "I haven't practiced for nearly a year, but I'd like to get back to it to perform in front of my fans one day!" Jake is also known for the seductive voice behind the narration of the trailers from the beginning and the concept of ENHYPEN so far.
Sunoo was specially chosen by the producers of I-LAND and industry insiders who participated in the show, including Big Hit's CEO, Bang Si-Hyuk, to join ENHYPEN. During his time on the show, viewers were amazed by his incredible vocal range as he effortlessly hit the extremes of the vocal spectrum. The 17-year-old also recently revealed that he grew up with health problems and even underwent surgery last year while training for the show.
Before joining I-LAND, Heesung trained with the members of TXT when he was a trainee at Big Hit, which also allowed him to gain experience in songwriting and composition. Described by the agency as the "core of our performance", Heesung will take on the role of the eldest, offering advice to the group's leader, Sungwon. "We have to build leadership together, as a team. Every team member must have leadership and take steps to support this role, not just with words but truly to help the leader so that the whole team succeeds."
As the maknae (youngest member) of the group, Ni-ki, 14 years old, is originally from Okayama, Japan. He was awarded the title of "best dancer of I-LAND" when he was able to memorize an entire choreography in ten minutes. The talent emanating from this rising star should not be underestimated. According to an interview with Teen Vogue, Ni-ki's parents also own a dance studio in Japan, and that's where he learned to dance jazz and ballet.
