On April 20, 2025 (April 19 PT), ENHYPEN dominated the Sahara Tent at Coachella for their second show. Their first show was on April 13 (April 12 PT) with a 45-minute set. This was the K-pop group's debut performance at the music festival as they became the fastest group to join the roster of Coachella since their debut in 2020.

The K-pop group performed at Coachella 2025, quelling rumors of sparse attendance and reinforcing their global appeal. During the Coachella YouTube livestream, the cameraman panned across the crowd, which visibly displayed a jam-packed arena in front of the Sahara stage.

Prior to their performance, social media buzzed with unfounded claims suggesting that ENHYPEN might face a lackluster crowd at Coachella. However, these assertions were swiftly debunked as fans, known as ENGENEs, and festival-goers shared images and videos depicting a packed audience.

The overwhelming turnout not only silenced skeptics but also highlighted ENHYPEN's strong fan base. One fan wrote on X:

"HATERS GONNA HATE, AND ENHYPEN's GONNA ATE!!"

The group's Coachella second-weekend debut sparked a flurry of activity across social media platforms.

"WOAAAAH, CROWD??? SO FUCCCINGG LOUD!!!! LET’S GO ENCHELLA," a fan wrote. "Universe is on Enhypen side. If you’re not, maybe think abt your existence," another fan wrote. "Cameraman said not today and zoomed out like, ‘Let me shut the clowns up before they even start talking’," another fan added.

Others thanked the cameraman for showing the audience present at the group's second show at Coachella.

"GIVE THAT CAMERA MAN A RAISEEEEE," a fan remarked. "YouTube also hid the viewers count haha but yeah real crowd explains everything," another fan commented. "The cameraman definitely needs a raise! Give them a raise y'all," another fan wrote.

The K-pop sensation surprised fans worldwide by announcing their upcoming mini-album, DESIRE: UNLEASH, during their Coachella 2025 Day 2 show. This project is described as a continuation of their previous work, building upon the storyline of Romance: Untold while exploring new musical styles.
