Border: Carnival
On April 26, the K-pop rookies released their second EP,
Border: Carnival, a follow-up to November's
Border: Day One, which told the story of seven boys on the precipice of an unimaginable adventure.
When I spoke with Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki around the time of their debut five months ago, they expressed a shared desire for their music to bring people together — as Sunghoon put it, to "connect people to people and worlds to worlds." But they also had more tangible goals. "My goal for ENHYPEN is to have a successful start with our debut and mark many records," Sunoo admitted. The group's youngest, Ni-ki, agreed: "I want to steadily set my goals higher after our successful debut," he said.
