Enhypen ‘unleashes' dark side with 6th EP
Enhypen is set to roll out its sixth EP 'Desire: Unleash' on Thursday and shared its thoughts on the album through a statement released via agency Belift Lab. ''Desire' is the key word for all tracks on the album,' said Heeseung. "How each song is different in color will be attractive and interesting.' The eight-track set is fronted by 'Bad Desire (With or Without You),' which, according to Jake, 'only Enhypen can pull off.' 'The EP will serve as a significant momentum,' mused Jay, underlining how much effort they put into perfecting it, all the more to keep up the energy it gained from a successful debut at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April. The new mini album received over 2 million in preorders, raising expectations for it to become the band's third album to sell over 2 million, after its fifth EP 'Orange Blood' and second LP 'Romance: Untold.'

Illit clocks up 600m Spotify streams in record time
Illit amassed 600 million streams on Spotify with 'Magnetic' as of May, agency Belift Lab said Sunday. The single reached the milestone in the shortest time for a debut K-pop single. The group has set a series of records with the debut single last year which not only swept music charts at home but also entered Billboard's Hot 100 and UK Official Singles Top 100, a first for a K-pop debut song. It also made Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global on the day of release. 'Magnetic' is the focus track from first EP 'Super Real Me' which sold over 380,000 copies in the first week, the most for a debut album from a K-pop girl group at the time. Next month, Illit will roll out third EP 'Bomb.'
