ENHYPEN are fresh off the release of their second full length album, Romance: Unspeakableand to celebrate, they sat down together Advertising sign's Tetris Kelly to discuss their growth as artists on this project.
“First, our lead single is titled 'XO (Only If You Say Yes).' Previously, our songs featured strong and dark sides of us,” Jungwon explained of the inspiration behind Romance: Unspeakable. “This time, we wanted to reveal more of our friend's sides. The title of the album, this lead single gives off a very romantic vibe. That's why the album is titled Romance: Unspeakable. You can feel the sweetness, right?”
Heesung added, “'XO' is a song we did with JVKE. He produced the song and the first time we heard it — it was his voice on the demo. We felt it was such a different style and we were so interested. This album is something we really haven't done before. The song “XO” is the perfect song to illustrate this. It's also really catchy.”
The album follows the seven-piece band's 2021 debut, DIMENSION : DILEMMAwhich debuted on No. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart. Romance: Unspeakable “marks the beginning of a new chapter for ENHYPEN. Pioneering storytellers have in the past enthralled audiences with their series of narratives BORDER, DIMENSION, PROCLAMATIONand BLOOD where they crossed borders, faced themselves in a complex world, took the first step forward to connect with their peers, and made sacrifices for the blood-bound “you,” according to a press release announcing details of the project last month.
