ENHYPEN [DIMENSION: ANSWER]'Global K Rising Star' ENHYPEN, 1st regular repackage album 'DIMENSION : ANSWER' released! The story of seven boys who rejected the answer set by the world... 'DIMENSION : ANSWER' title song 'Blessed-Cursed'... The boys who realized that everything was a curse, not a blessing, 'Global K Rising Star' ENHYPEN released their 1st regular repackage album 'DIMENSION: ANSWER'. Following the debut album 'BORER: DAY ONE' on November 30, 2020, the second mini-album 'BORDER: CARNIVAL' on April 26, 2021, and the first full-length album 'DIMENSION: DILEMMA' on October 12, 2021, ENHYPEN, which broke its own record and emerged as a 'global K rising star' beyond a '4th generation hot icon', returned after 3 months with the repackage album 'DIMENSION: ANSWER'. ENHYPEN's 1st regular repackage album 'DIMENSION : ANSWER' “The story of seven boys who rejected the answer set by the world and decided to find our own 'correct answer'” ENHYPEN is a boy connected to a new world through the previous 'BORDER' series portrayed them. In 'BORDER: DAY ONE', the boys expressed the complex emotions they felt before their debut, and in 'BORDER: CARNIVAL,' they expressed their candid feelings about the different world they faced after their debut. It expresses the story after realizing that it is a world of a new dimension, more complicated and contradictory than expected. In 'DIMENSION: DILEMMA,' the first work of the 'DIMENSION' series, the boys fell into a dilemma where they could not easily decide which desire to pursue as they were connected to various 'desires' in a complex world. The boys who experienced the contradiction and conflict of desire are embarrassed and nervous, but they decide to do what they can do right now and ask, “Can we find the answer?” I thought and ran forward. In this way, the boys who have changed from before by recognizing 'desire' now ask, "How should I live? I started thinking, “Who the hell am I?” and realized one important fact. That is, “the world is wrong”. This album 'DIMENSION: ANSWER' tells the story of the boys who came to have doubts and distrust about the world and decided not to follow the set answer and just focus on the present. The world has always spoken to boys. “How long are you going to live like that? You have to know the reality and wake up now!” In response to the existing logic of winning the competition, the boys ask questions such as "If I live as the world has decided, it will be all right?", "Then where am I going?", "What will I become?" However, the world reflected on social media was a 'mess' itself. For those who learned how messed up the world around them was, they lost their trust in the society that only forced them to win the competition and the 'correct answer' set by this society. In the end, the boys decide to find 'our own way', not the logic set by society. Of course, we still don't know for sure what 'our own correct answer' is, just as we didn't know what the correct answer was when we faced our desires. With the thought of “I will endure the day well and focus on the present,” they decide to make their current “present life” a “new life,” and for the first time, they begin the experience of going a slightly different path, not the standard set by society. Title song 'Blessed-Cursed'... Boys who threw off their bridle “I will take care of the conditions surrounding me, the order of the world, blessings or curses.” So, until now, they considered the conditions given to them and the order of the world that they tried to tame as blessings, but now they realize that all of them were cursed. They already know that everything can easily work out if they follow the given conditions and the order of the world as they have done so far. Those who have witnessed firsthand how messed up the world is, and who are aware of the state of the world around them, no longer want to confine themselves to this yoke, whether everything is a blessing or a curse. The title song 'Blessed-Cursed' is a song that tells the story of boys who shout that they will take care of their own lives and that they should not interfere anymore. The boys who developed distrust of society but still couldn't find the correct answer were expressed in two concepts: 'NO' and 'YET'. The 'NO' concept reveals the boys' cynical gaze toward the world that oppresses and interferes with me. Those who find out that the world has deceived them express their dissatisfaction without hesitation, and the meaningless spaces in the eyes of the boys who know the truth are getting smaller. In the 'YET' concept, the boys are in the background of a vast meadow. Their faces are mixed with the anxious feeling of 'Can I do well?' and the complicated feeling of 'Let's live well in reality!' With the title song 'Tamed-Dashed' of the previous 'DIMENSION: DILEMMA', ENHYPEN showed various point choreography such as 'Fan Dance' and 'Kick-Off Dance' and completed a refreshing performance. It will show off its overflowing appearance. While the intro choreography to the rocking guitar sound and elements of the powerful hip-hop bass that melt throughout the performance make it impossible to take your eyes off, this song is also filled with colorful point choreography. From the 'Prayer Dance', which expresses the movement as if praying in line with the lyrics "In a false blessing," to the 'Lion Dance', which embodies a heavy and powerful walking like the 'lion' in the lyrics of "walk like a lion", Various point choreography, including the 'Fight Dance', which brought out the strong and dynamic feeling of the song by sticking out your face, completed the ENHYPEN-style performance full of energy. The music video is also worth noting. The 'Blessed-Cursed' music video captures a retro mood by utilizing the 'end of the century' sensibility, which is currently in vogue. In the music video expressing the 'end of the century' sensibility from the 1990s to the 2000s, the seven members expressed complex and confused emotions in their own way in a space composed of colors and structures reminiscent of it, increasing the level of immersion. Along with this, ENHYPEN's trademark powerful group dance unfolded in a set with various lighting and primary colors, perfectly reproducing the sensibility of the era. In particular, the scene where the members count down to the new year moving into the 2000s is a direct presentation of the era that the music video is trying to express, the 'end of the era' sensibility of that era, and a retro mood that utilizes it, making it even more fun to watch. pull up This 'DIMENSION: ANSWER' contains 3 additional songs, including the title song 'Blessed-Cursed', in addition to the 8 songs recorded in the previous work 'DIMENSION: DILEMMA'. 'Polaroid Love', which tells the story of boys who feel special about the feeling of love they already know through Polaroid photos, and believes that our moments left in the photos will last forever, and 'Outro: Day 2', which decorates the end of the album. has been added This repackage album, filled with 11 songs of various genres, is also expected to satisfy listeners.
