ENHYPEN recharges with a 5-year Samgyetang regular spot... The honest struggles of 7-year idols
ENHYPEN visits famous restaurants in Yongsan with Kim Dae-ho to recharge for their new song 'Bloody Paradise' promotions. The group shares their honest struggles as seven-year idols and their philosophy that skill is the foundation.
ENHYPEN has opened up about the weight of being idols in their seventh year and their sincere commitment to their new music. After recharging their energy by visiting local hotspots in the Yongsan area, the group candidly shared their realistic concerns and the importance of fundamentals hidden behind their flashy performances.
A restorative course featuring a 5-year favorite Samgyetang and grilled eel
ENHYPEN began their culinary journey at a taco specialty restaurant known as a hipster mecca in Yongsan. After their first round of tacos, they headed to a secret Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) restaurant that the group has consistently frequented for five years. Their choice of the same restaurant over such a long period reflects the group's strong bond and consistency.
The meal concluded with grilled eel on a stone plate near Samgakji. Facing the grilled eel, often hailed as the ultimate stamina booster, the members boosted their energy ahead of their new song promotions. This food tour connecting Yongsan and Samgakji was portrayed as more than just a meal; it was an essential process for managing the stamina of "world-class idols" who navigate demanding world tours.
"Skill is the foundation": 7th-year idols reveal the weight of the stage
Contrary to their stunning visuals, the conversation took a heavy turn. The members of ENHYPEN shared the honest struggles they face as idols in their seventh year. In particular, they emphasized "skill," noting that the ultimate strength supporting their performances stems from solid fundamentals.
This suggests that their achievement as double million-sellers was not mere luck, but rather the result of their obsession with these fundamentals. Even as they prepare for their new promotions, the members maintained a serious attitude regarding the professionalism required of them, never letting their guard down.
Earnest toasts wishing for the success of the new song 'Bloody Paradise'
The meal ended with toasts wishing for the success of their 8th mini-album. ENHYPEN shared their earnest desire for the new song's success through their toasts, reinforcing their determination for the upcoming promotions. As if foreshadowing the mood of the new track, which will be the centerpiece of this era, the members' eyes shone with intense energy.
Aiming to surpass their double million-seller status and set new records, ENHYPEN's upcoming activities are expected to be a stage that proves once again the musical assets and fundamentals they have built over the years.
