ENHYPEN has wrapped up their world tour, 'WALK THE LINE', with an impressive turnout of 676,000 fans, known as ENGENE.
The group, consisting of members Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki, concluded their encore performances from October 24 to 26 at the KSPO DOME in Seoul's Songpa District. According to Belift Lab, a HYBE music label, approximately 30,000 fans filled the venue over three days, including restricted view seats. Fans from 90 countries, including Japan, the United States, Thailand, and the United Kingdom, tuned in via online live streaming.
The performances showcased ENHYPEN's growth over the past year, with their energy and confidence shining through. Their strong vocals and powerful performances captivated the audience for three hours, with fans responding with enthusiastic cheers.
The concert was enriched with a newly added setlist and live band performances. ENHYPEN opened with the tour's title track, 'WALK THE LINE', followed by the intense 'Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)' and 'Blessed-Cursed', instantly elevating the atmosphere. They performed over 25 songs, spanning from their debut tracks to their latest mini-album 'DESIRE : UNLEASH', showcasing their wide musical spectrum.
Unit stages, instrumental performances, and solo acts added diversity to the concert. The unit of Jay, Jake, and Sunghoon performed 'Lucifer', while Jungwon, Heeseung, Sunoo, and Ni-ki delivered 'Teeth', each bringing unique charm. Heeseung and Jay added emotion with piano and guitar performances, respectively, and Ni-ki captivated with a powerful solo dance before 'Daydream'.
Interaction with the audience was a highlight. The members freely roamed the extended stage to connect with fans and rode moving carts to engage with those in the second-floor seats. Even after the prepared encore, they returned to the stage to continue interacting with fans.
ENHYPEN expressed their gratitude, saying, "Through 'WALK THE LINE', we visited various stadiums and created many good memories with ENGENE worldwide. We approached this encore performance with the mindset of showcasing the know-how we've accumulated over the past year. We were happy to create the stage together with ENGENE from the start." They added, "We hope our concert helps you forget your worries and gives you strength for tomorrow. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and please continue to watch us with pride. We'll return with an amazing album."
With 'WALK THE LINE', ENHYPEN performed 32 shows across 19 cities, meeting 676,000 ENGENE, marking their largest world tour to date. Most of the tour's cities were sold out, and ENHYPEN demonstrated their prowess as a 'performance powerhouse', becoming the fastest foreign artist to perform in a Japanese stadium within 4 years and 7 months of debut.
