ENHYPEN Transforms Into Vampire Test Subjects in Game-Like Concept Photos

K-pop sensation ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Ni-ki) takes fans on a chilling and mysterious visual journey with their newly revealed ‘ENGENE’ version concept photos from their upcoming 6th mini album, DESIRE: UNLEASH.

Unveiled through the group’s official social media channels on the 21st at midnight KST, the ‘ENGENE’ version is a fan-exclusive concept portraying the members as vampire test subjects within a dark, game-inspired laboratory. Clad in sterile wardrobes and bathed in eerie lighting, ENHYPEN’s vacant expressions and cryptic actions create a captivating horror game aesthetic.

Enhancing the immersion, the group also released a concept film styled like a retro horror video game. In the narrative, a researcher meets the ENHYPEN members—portrayed as vampire test subjects—and joins them in a daring escape. The video incorporates gaming elements including HUD displays, item selections, and control instructions, bringing the entire world to life.

Adding to the excitement, a promotional web game inspired by this unique concept will launch at noon KST today (21st), as announced by their label BE:LIFT Lab. The game rollout had been previewed via a cryptic teaser image posted on social media the previous day, featuring the words ‘ENHYPEN ESCAPE.’

The ‘ENGENE’ version is the fourth installment of the album rollout, following the intensely thematic concept sequences titled ‘MAKE,’ ‘YOU,’ and ‘MINE’—all underscoring the album’s central theme of ‘desire.’ Fans can expect additional teasers, including a tracklist poster on the 22nd and an album preview on the 23rd. DESIRE: UNLEASH is scheduled to drop globally on July 5.
