K-pop powerhouse ENHYPEN announced the release of their 2nd Studio Repackage Album ROMANCE : UNTOLD -daydream-, slated for November 11.
The seven-member act announced today via global superfan platform Weverse that ROMANCE : UNTOLD -daydream- will be released worldwide at 5 AM ET on November 11. A logo motion video revealed shortly ahead of the announcement provided the first look into the upcoming album’s sensibilities, featuring poignant instrumentals accompanied by scenes of smudged handwriting, traces of a letter directed to ‘you,’ and the logo for the upcoming release.
Since their debut, ENHYPEN have solidified their identity by introducing unique concepts–such as surreal, dreamy, and boyish vibes–to express their album narratives. Released earlier this year in July, ROMANCE : UNTOLD marked the beginning of a new chapter for ENHYPEN. Following the previous chapters of ‘BORDER,’ ‘DIMENSION,’ ‘MANIFESTO,’ and ‘BLOOD,’ the first iteration of the ‘ROMANCE’ series unravelled the story of seven boys who vow to protect their love at all costs.
The album hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200, earning the band their first top 3 entry on the chart. Album sales for the release surpassed their previous record by 30,000 units, set with their previous EP ORANGE BLOOD released in November 2023. ROMANCE : UNTOLD sold more than 2.3 million copies worldwide in its first week, with 1.8 million copies sold on the first day alone.
Pre-order for ROMANCE : UNTOLD -daydream- began today at 11 AM KST, and more information on the album and online/offline retail shops can be found on Weverse.
About ENHYPEN
ENHYPEN is the first boyband created by BELIFT LAB, consisting of members JUNGWON, HEESEUNG, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNOO, and NI-KI. Inspired by the ‘hyphen(-)’ that connects one word to another, ENHYPEN means that seven different boys connect to discover one another and grow together. Upon their official debut in November 2020, ENHYPEN broke out into the global K-pop scene and began smashing from day one with 1st Mini Album BORDER : DAY ONE, achieving the biggest first week sales for a single album among K-pop groups to debut the same year. In three years, the K-pop powerhouse came to possess four Billboard 200 Top 10 albums—3rd Mini Album MANIFESTO : DAY 1 (July 2022), 4th Mini Album DARK BLOOD (May 2023), 5th Mini Album ORANGE BLOOD (November 2023), and 2nd Studio Album (ROMANCE : UNTOLD)—which debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 6, No. 4, No. 4, and No. 2 respectively. After triumphantly headlining arenas in 12 cities worldwide for their first world tour ‘MANIFESTO,’ ENHYPEN embarked on their second world tour ‘FATE,’ marking their momentous U.S. stadium debut.
