After pandemic debut, ENHYPEN sheds ‘boy band' image ahead of BMO Stadium show
Premiering at the height of BTS mania, in which BTS made an appearance, the series was a joint venture between multinational entertainment companies CJ Entertainment and HYBE. It was a global success, with worldwide online viewership of over 20 million across 12 episodes, and participation from over 178 countries in the vote casting.
Every part of the contestants' lives was documented as they lived and trained at the compound, with every fan-favorite moment turned into fan edits and memes. Even after the series concluded, it didn't take long for the group to debut and return to the public eye. Within two months, ENHYPEN — comprised of Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo and Ni-Ki — released their first EP, 'Border: Day One.'
Since then, the group's meteoric rise has been nonstop: They've released 11 albums (five of which have placed in the Billboard 200 Top 10), performed at this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and accomplished two world tours. The group is currently on its third international jaunt, the 'Walk the Line' world tour, and is set to perform Saturday at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
It's hard to believe it has only been five years since they debuted. Now nearly in their early 20s, the group's members are trying to prove that they're no longer the boys they once were at the start of their careers. With their latest album release, 'Desire: Unleash,' they want to show ENGENEs — the name for their fandom — how much they've grown as artists and as people. Their recent Coachella set showcased a more edgy side to their performance, one that they had arranged themselves.
'One of the most impressive moments in our growth journey was Coachella,' says Heeseung. 'When I think back to when we just debuted, I don't think we were even boys. We were almost babies. We began this journey with such young members, and we've made it all the way here. We grew physically, but throughout this journey, we also grew mentally, and that has helped us show the best side of ourselves.'
Growing up in the public eye was not easy for the group, whose youngest member, Ni-Ki, was 14 years old during the competition. They had to adapt to their new lifestyle quickly, but felt fortunate to be surrounded by a good team and staff that made it easier. Though Ni-Ki is aware his childhood was not the norm, he says he received a lot of mental stimulation that helped him develop into the person he is now.
'Because I started in this scene from a young age, I had to go through many changes,' Ni-Ki explains. 'For example, my personality underwent many changes, and I realized many different things because I was in a good environment for that to happen.'
Sunoo admits they were a little immature and clumsy during 'I-LAND' and even during their debut, but it was really who they were at the time. What has been depicted through the show, behind-the-scenes footage and their social media is who they are.
'Now that I think about it, we showed almost everything,' Sunoo admits. 'During the show, we were showing the very raw version of ourselves. I think our fans did love those sides of us as well. As we grew, they got to love us even more.'
Leader Jungwon believes that having everything on social media helped the group's popularity as they debuted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since they couldn't meet their fans offline, they relied on social media to connect with them. He says, 'There are clear pros and cons of being in this [digital] era. Before we debuted and appeared on 'I-LAND,' social media was already widespread, making it easy for things about us to go viral.'
Dr. Hye Jin Lee, a K-pop scholar and clinical assistant professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, notes that social media may have helped ENHYPEN grow further, as social media usage reached an all-time high during the pandemic. TikTok users soared around that time, providing another platform for the group to increase its visibility and share its music through short-form content. With over 30 million fans on TikTok, the group follows viral trends and dance challenges, as well as schedules livestreams on both TikTok and its company's official app, Weverse.
'ENHYPEN had to rely on digital media to meet and interact with fans due to debuting at a time when in-person performances weren't possible,' Lee explains. 'That has allowed them to build strong connections with their fans. That's why they're more prolific on social media. They post on Weverse daily and are very active on TikTok.'
ENHYPEN is conscious of its public image and the constant surveillance by its fans through the group's media and livestream appearances. At first, they were cautious of the image they wanted to project. However, over time, they realized it was better just to be themselves.
'These days, I want to show who I am and the natural side of myself,' says Sunghoon. 'Going forward, as I age, the perception that I would like to have would change as well. As you get older, the way you think also changes. But, at the moment and present, I just want to be who I am in front of other people.'
Fans noticed these changes, as the members have begun to express their opinions and boundaries openly. Jungwon recently admitted during an interview that he felt he was too young when he first performed their the group's song 'Fever.' Jake began opening up about the pressures he felt throughout his career. Sunoo, who was given the nickname 'Ddeonu' for his cute expressions, has started to turn down doing cute poses during interviews and livestreams.
'I don't think being cute all the time is very suitable for who I am at this moment,' Sunoo shares. 'Our fans still would love to see me being cute and adorable, so I don't think I can do away with it completely. So when they want to see that side of me, I go ahead, but I don't go out of my way to do it when there isn't any request. That's the kind of balance I'm trying to strike at this moment.'
Jay has taken it a step further, going on the group's official livestream channels to offer advice to ENGENEs who are struggling or seeking guidance. He adds his own life experiences to his words of comfort and advice, opening up another side to the serious artist.
'Being in this career for the past five years, I've come to realize that it's really impossible to make things up,' he said. 'I believe that one side that we can truly show to people is when we're true to ourselves. Whenever I do something or think about something, I try to be sincere and honest about my feelings and no longer make things just because I want to be seen in a certain way or leave a certain kind of impression.'
Fans have looked out for the group's best interests, including commenting on the members' hectic schedule. As one of the most in-demand groups in the industry, with several comebacks, tours, fashion shows, press days, variety shows, brand ambassadorships and writing/producing music, ENHYPEN's members knows what they've signed up for in becoming a K-pop artist.
'It's very heartwarming that our fans are very concerned about our health, but I want to say that the very core of everything that we do is coming from our passion,' says Jake. 'No one is telling us to do this. We want to do this. We chose this for ourselves. Going back to that thought helps us stay grounded and motivated.'
Although they cherish the 'I-LAND' and debut memories of the past five years, they are looking ahead to the group's future in 2025. Jay says this year marks a significant turning point in their careers, highlighted by Coachella, 'Desire: Unleash' and the 'Walk the Line' world tour.
'This is a consistent flow,' says Jay. 'It's going to be this momentum that will bring us to our next step as ENHYPEN. We will use this as a beginning to venture out into many more fields ahead.'
Sunghoon is looking forward to making it to a decade with the group, curious about how that will look for them together and individually.
'I'm sure ENHYPEN will be together, but I think we'll be more active in pursuing our individual pursuits,' he said. 'I'm curious to find out what that will look like and how much more we will have grown [by then]. When we work as individuals, we work hard, and when we get together again, we will work amazingly as a team.'

Hayley Williams Charts Her First Solo No. 1 Hit
20 years ago, Hayley Williams emerged as one of the most exciting new female voices in rock music as the lead singer of the group Paramore. She broke barriers and found incredible success during the pop-punk revival in the early aughts, and in the decades since, Paramore has continued to chart big hits and successful albums. Williams has also embarked on a solo career — though not one which has distracted from her work with the band that made her well-known in the first place. Recently, Williams delivered a slew of new tunes for fans to enjoy, and while only one reaches the Billboard charts, it does help her score an important champion. Hayley Williams Scores Her First Solo No. 1 Williams's new track 'True Believer' launches at No. 1 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart. As it arrives, the singer-songwriter scores her first leader on the list of the bestselling alternative tracks throughout the United States. Multiple Top 10 Bestsellers Williams has previously reached the Alternative Digital Song Sales list with three tracks, so her solo count is now up to four in total. One of them, 'Simmer,' opened at No. 10 in February of 2020, and until this frame, it held as her only top 10 success on the tally. 'True Believer' Launches at No. 5 'True Believer' also finds its way to the highest tier on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, where it opens at No. 5. The solo cut ties 'Simmer' as her highest-rising win, while a collaboration with the band Weezer, 'Rainbow Connection,' also reached No. 23 more than a decade ago. 'True Believer' Becomes a General Bestseller The new Williams cut sold just well enough to make it to one other Billboard tally, the Digital Song Sales chart. Unlike the other two rankings, which are focused entirely on one genre, the Digital Song Sales list is style-agnostic, and 'True Believer' opens in last place at No. 25. Luminate reports that in its first full tracking frame of availability, the tune sold just over 1,700 copies — barely enough to help it land on the competitive roster. 'Airplanes' with B.o.B and 'Stay the Night' with Zedd 'True Believer' is not one of Williams's biggest wins on the Digital Song Sales tally, as it comes in behind 'Airplanes' with B.o.B and 'Stay the Night' with Zedd, which peaked at Nos. 2 and 16, respectively. The new track does, however, beat her team-up with Taylor Swift, 'Castles Crumbling (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault),' which stalled at No. 36 back when the roster featured 50 spots. Hayley Williams Drops 17 New Solo Songs Williams has released two solo albums throughout her career — Petals for Armor and Flowers for Vases/Descansos — in 2020 and 2021, respectively. At the same time that 'True Believer' came out, Williams dropped another 16 tunes, which were not featured on any album or compilation, but were available for sale as individual cuts for fans to buy and enjoy.

Find a hidden weekend-only bar and tasting menu at one of the Valley's favorite restaurants
If you can't find Jeff Strauss in his Highland Park deli, Jeff's Table, or inside his Studio City bar-restaurant, Oy Bar, you should probably check the parking lot of the latter. The ex-television writer — now chef and restaurateur — is channeling more of his creative energy into a new, weekend-only bar and tasting menu called Vey, Oy Bar's new alfresco space built in the back parking lot. 'I wanted to do something that had as much delight and surprise without being the same experience,' Strauss said. 'We're sitting in a parking lot in Studio City, in the Valley in the summer. It was 92 degrees back here today! So I said, 'How do we celebrate that space, the night sky?'... The other idea, since we're on effectively asphalt, we're on the street, is to pay tribute to street food both here and all over the world.' He fashioned new walls from his storage unit behind Oy Bar, while artist Nick 'Sick' Fisher painted them as a kind of home interior in surreal, almost cartoon-like fashion. At one corner, Strauss and sous chef Esteban Palacios grill crisp-edged onigiri, yakitori-style chicken liver with egg and hot honey, and scallops dripping with gochujang butter over binchotan charcoal, while a pizza oven warms whole heads of mushroom in soy and butter in cast-iron skillets. Sometimes they offer small plates, other times, like this weekend, a reservation-only, six-course tasting menu for what Strauss likens to 'a casual, rolling omakase.' On Friday and Saturday nights, guests fill the tandem concept while waiting for indoor tables, or use Vey as their meal and cocktail destination for the evening. The experience, like Vey's culinary inspirations, is meant to be flexible and fluid. 'People have taken to that very nicely,' Strauss said. 'It feels fun to me. I hope it feels fun to them.' Vey is accessed through the back of Oy Bar, and is open Friday and Saturday beginning at 6:30 p.m., with variable hours. Strauss hopes to expand its days of operation in the future. 12446 Moorpark St., Studio City, They call it a California bistro, but really, chef Miles Thompson said, it's 'an Angeleno bistro.' The new 36-seat restaurant from Thompson and his sommelier business partner, Andy Schwartz, debuted earlier this year in Victor Heights with hyper-local sourcing and a wide-ranging menu that draws on Japanese, Korean, Italian, Mexican, French and more flavors. 'I think the food is really defined by the cultures of Los Angeles,' Thompson said. 'If you already eat at any of the regional or international restaurants in this city, you'll find inspiring foods that go into this menu.' It began as a pop-up, which debuted at the base of Koreatown's Hotel Normandie in June 2023. Thompson, a former Michael's and Konbi chef, teamed up with Schwartz, formerly of Lolo Wine Bar, to serve a tight menu of seasonal dishes by candlelight. Now in its permanent home, the duo are leaning into their creativity and finding their footing. Thompson ages wild-caught squid for five days before slicing it and tossing it in a cucumber and yuzu kosho salad. His ginger-marinated prawns come plancha-seared and served over a puttanesca-leaning sauce, then garnished with Hot Cheetos-inspired fried enoki mushrooms. He drapes burnt eggplant over house-made chicken sausage with fish sauce, Hungarian wax peppers and chile de arbol. Even Thompson's signature planks of lightly fermented, fluffy house bread update with local produce. The dough is packed with sweet caramelized onions; in one iteration it's topped with Liptauer cheese and more marinated onions, and in another, it's Franklin's Teleme cheese and marinated squash. The three compact rooms in a converted bungalow — part of the reimagined courtyard that also houses Perilla, Bakers Bench and Cassell's — offer the soft glow of candlelight with a view of the open kitchen. On the patio, take in the small grove of century-old banana trees. Baby Bistro's à la carte menu is designed to share between two people, and many customers order it all. 'If you're looking to really experience the beating heart of the restaurant,' Schwartz said, 'it's in the menu.' Daily specials might involve items more flexible to the whims of the farmers market, either in small plates or a larger meat dish. The intimate new setting also allows for Schwartz to rotate his wine offerings frequently. His list spotlights natural wines, often small producers making esoteric flavors or blends. He's enjoying creating pairings for Thompson's cuisine, which he characterizes as 'classically challenging to pair with': unique concentrations of flavors, attention paid largely to acidity. The challenge is part of the fun. 'That speaks to the connection between the wines that I like, and the ones that we serve at the restaurant, which can taste different every day,' Schwartz said. 'That's sort of the nature of real cooking and real wine.' Baby Bistro is open Tuesday to Saturday from 5:30 p.m., with its last seating at 9:30 p.m. 1027 Alpine St., Los Angeles, With laminated egg tarts, whimsical pastries, lines out the door and plenty of cute puppies, a prolific China bakery chain has touched down in Beverly Hills. Hi Bake, founded in Hong Kong, has expanded to more than 60 shops in China over the last 12 years, and thanks to a new partnership with Chubby Group (Niku X, Chubby Cattle), it just landed in the U.S. Its first American location takes over the former home of Sur Le Vert and Bouchon, and offers a number of the signature items found overseas: Tokyo banana rolls, thousand-layer cakes, meat floss rolls and egg tarts. Loaded toasts, flattened croissants, Dubai-chocolate tarts and fluffy matcha rolls all line the pastry case, while a separate pickup counter for cream-top matchas, pistachio lattes and other caffeinated beverages can be found next door. Hi Bake is extremely pet-friendly, hosting adoption events for cats and dogs around the world; the bakery's own emblem is a drawing of Dà Mài, the founder's own rescue dog. In Beverly Hills, expect house-made pet treats in the near future. Hi Bake is open Monday and Wednesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 235 N. Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, It's not every day that Evan Funke opens a new concept, let alone a dedicated cocktail bar, but the celebrated pasta-focused chef recently launched Bar Avoja, a new semi-hidden cocktail lounge inside his Hollywood restaurant, Mother Wolf. Much like the restaurant, Bar Avoja is a partnership with co-owner Giancarlo Pagani, and it's accessed only by walking through the lounge area of Mother Wolf. It fills the former Mars bar space (which was also owned by Pagani), and features separate food and cocktail menus in a setting inspired by a Roman villa: jewel-tone curtains and pillows meant for lounging, while a disco ball reflects off the walls and gold-gilded mirrors. On Thursdays, find vinyl DJ sets, but every night of service find spuntini informed by Roman street food, including an oxtail-meatball sandwich on pizza dough; fried carbonara bites; flatbreads piled with salad, salmon or sugo; and grilled octopus skewers. Bar Avoja — slang for 'hell yeah' — is open Thursday to Saturday from 6 to 11 p.m. 1545 Wilcox Ave., Los Angeles, This popular Bay Area bagel outfit made its L.A. debut earlier this year, and it's already expanding. Boichik Bagels, from former engineer Emily Winston, serves the New York-style bagels she enjoyed throughout her childhood in the Northeast. Now it serves them at the base of one of L.A.'s most iconic buildings, downtown's Bradbury Building. The new bagel shop offers the same range of bagels found in the Los Feliz location — including bagel sandwiches, more than a dozen bagel flavors, and schmear in options like hatch chile, chive or lox — with its own unique menu of daily specials. Look for whitefish-salad sandwiches, kippered salmon, frozen take-home bagels, coffee and more. Boichik Bagels is open downtown daily from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. 304 S. Broadway, Los Angeles,
