Dark Blood

Product Information

It was a very special performance that served as a reminder for all of us to stay grounded and never forget where we all started,” Ni-ki says before Sunghoon adds, “We knew how much our ENGENEs wanted to see this song performed live, so we especially prepared it just for them; kind of like our way of saying ‘thank you.'” In the ten months since ‘Manifesto : Day 1’, ENHYPEN have experienced life as global artists for the first time – embarking on their first world tour, attending Milan Fashion Week and participating in prominent K-pop festivals, from Music Bank in Paris to headlining Las Vegas’ We Bridge Expo 2023. After all that, the septet are finally ready to usher in a new era with their fourth mini-album, ‘Dark Blood’. The first installment of the so-called ‘Blood’ series, it marks a return to the group’s story-driven beginnings, fully embracing their narrative as K-pop’s smoothest vampires. NI-KI: I absolutely loved the low notes in the bridge. It’s a little TMI, and not necessarily about the recording, but I found the choreography for this song to be quite challenging. While in the first one they relinquish all power under an intriguing dark reggae rhythm ( “I dedicate to you my life / Drink my flesh and blood, babe / This bliss sacrificed by fate,” they sing), the dusky ‘Chaconne’ brings a descent into madness, where the group sees themselves as monsters, “dancing the dance of death / drunk with arrogance”.

DARK MOON: Altar of the Moon' is an urban fantasy high-teen romance depicting the love and final battle between vampires and werewolf boys over a girl. Bite Me' 퍼포먼스에도 녹아 들었다. 'Bite Me' 퍼포먼스는 다크 섹시 매력이 돋보일 수 있도록 피에 갈증하는 소년들의 모습을 춤으로 표현했고, 잘 짜인 판타지 작품을 보는 듯 완성도 높은 안무 구성이 인상적이다. 멤버 니키가 안무 제작에 직접 참여, 퍼포먼스 역량을 발산해 엔하이픈의 색이 더욱 짙어진 안무가 탄생했다.
