ENHYPEN appeared to tease their next album during the Music Bank Global Festival on December 13. It added fuel to their already confirmed January 16 comeback plans. The festival took place at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo, where ENHYPEN performed on Day 1.
The lineup also included ATEEZ, ITZY, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, NMIXX, BOYNEXTDOOR, RIIZE, ILLIT, KickFlip, Hearts2Hearts, IDID, and Snow Man. During ENHYPEN’s stage, a visual sequence played in the background, drawing immediate attention.
The imagery featured repeated references to “sins” and “sinners,” along with symbolic styling choices such as rings, jackets, and coordinated pants. One of the most talked-about details was the word “addictum” visibly marked on Jay’s forehead.
A poster displayed during the performance added more intrigue. It read “WANTED BY COMMITTEE” followed by "THE SINNERS.” Another line stated “WANTED: 7 VAMPIRES AND THEIR COMPANION.” The reward was left blank, while a final clue read “HINT: ROUND & RED.” Fans quickly began analyzing the clues.
"OMG HELLO????? THE SINNERS???," an X user commented.Some fans argue the visuals resemble themes from the film Sinners, particularly its strong connection between music and vampirism. In the movie, the central vampire character is drawn to music and individuals with musical talent, a detail that some viewers feel mirrors the K-pop band's performance cues.
and if the enhypen x sinners agenda is real... the album is jazz/soul music. I rest my case
ok maybe I’m reaching, but this hint really reminds me of the movie sinners (especially bc the movie had HEAVY connections to music and its significance) in the movie, remmick (the main vampire) is drawn to music (and those who have a gift for music)+
A popular theory links the concept to the Seven Deadly Sins, assigning each member a trait. In the comment, Heeseung is associated with gluttony, Jay with greed, Jake with lust, Sunghoon with sloth, Sunoo with envy, Jungwon with wrath, and Ni-ki with pride. While no official explanation has been released, the layered symbolism has intensified anticipation for the septet's upcoming January release.
the concept of the concept being the seven deadly sins and each member represent a sin each and the concept photos will be on theme for each sin, and then in the mv they visit the garden of eden and steal the apple... imagine pcs where they bite into apples WITH THEIR FANGS
What if... 😳Heeseung as LustJungwon as GreedJay as WrathJake as EnvySunghoon as PrideSunoo as GluttonyNi-ki as Sloth
PAUSE what if the "companion" of every vampire is their sin???? each member representing one of the seven deadly sins?????
ENHYPEN earlier dropped hints about their upcoming album
ENHYPEN (Image via X/@ENHYPEN)ENHYPEN is gearing up to release a new album, arriving roughly seven months after their sixth EP, Desire: Unleash. The group has confirmed that the project is already in progress and will mark their next major return. Hints about the upcoming record have surfaced for months.
During several concerts, the BELIFT LAB's group repeatedly teased new music, telling fans they were working on what they described as a “cool” album and signaling that their comeback was approaching. The message was made explicit on October 26 at the KSPO DOME, too.
The comeback follows a milestone year for the group. In 2025, ENHYPEN marks its fifth anniversary since its debut. The group celebrated the occasion in November with a fan meeting in Seoul.
