The third world tour opened at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex on the 5th.
Eye-catching directing that melts vampire narratives such as full moon
The length of the main stage, which is about 4 times larger than that of the previous tour ‘FATE’, is approximately 64m. A total of 6 large LEDs were installed here. As expected from a stadium performance, the ground was widely used. The splendidly launched fireworks also soothed the disappointment of not being able to see the Seoul International Fireworks Festival held in Yeouido, Seoul at the same time.
The first performance of the world tour ‘WALK THE LINE’, held by the group ‘ENHYPEN‘ at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on the afternoon of the 5th, first attracted attention due to its scale appropriate for the group’s first stadium in Korea. .
Capital support from HYBE, the parent company of Belif Lab, the agency, improved the quality of the performance. It was awe-inspiring even when watching it through Weverse online live streaming.
However, what is as important as the format is Enhyphen’s performance narrative. This part becomes the engine and drives the performance. It is no exaggeration to say that Enhyphen, produced by Hive Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, brought the K-pop world’s ‘Twilight’ narrative.
Although vampires are objects of fear and cruelty, they have long been treated as something emotional in popular culture. The same applies to areas such as movies and musicals. This is because the hardships of a love scene created by greed for immortality, lust for eroticism, and desire for purity can be depicted with dramatic emotional lines. Enhyphen is the one who brought this sentiment to the K-pop world.
The vampire worldview introduced in the 4th mini album ‘Dark Blood’ and the 5th mini album ‘Orange Blood’ was physically realized in Hive’s original webtoon ‘Dark Moon: Altar of the Moon’ and Lotte World Adventure, and in the second world tour ‘Fate’. It appeared. Aniplex, a Japanese subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment, is also translating the Enhyphen webtoon into animation.
In their latest work, the 2nd full-length album ‘ROMANCE: UNTOLD’, more emphasis is placed on reality than the previous supernatural atmosphere, but the boy and girl still continue to meet while hiding their identities from the world like vampires.
At the concert, the narrative of vampire speaking techniques becomes more prominent. Enhyphen members, whose skin is pure white as if their blood has been sucked, pay sunlight to the muse as a tax. In the darkness of the pouring song and dance, it shined even brighter and tempted the fandom ENGENE. It’s not just a rational fascination. It is a kind of promise that I will hold your hand through the hardships of darkness and always keep the engine running.
The enchanting sight of the eyebrow moon rising to full moon in the last song ‘Moonstruck’, and the scene of the pink moon covering the stage in ‘XO (Only If You Say Yes)’, the title song of the 2nd full-length album and the highlight of the day’s stage, are the scenes of their epic performance. It was a moment of victory. Jeongwon said, “Enhyphen’s ending is always with the engine. “Let’s not lose sight of the hands we are walking with together.”
Enhypen entered the domestic stadium four years after their debut. In 2022, they held their first concert at the Seoul Olympic Park Handball Stadium, and later went on stage at KSPO Dome (KSPO DOME (former gymnastics stadium)) with ‘Fate’.
However, the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex seemed small this time as the energy was already filled with the Japanese dome tour and the US stadium performance. This place is emerging as a new mecca in the concert world when American hip-hop star Kanye West (Ye) performed an unscheduled live medley of 50 songs last August. Afterwards, Enhyphen’s seniors Seventeen and Britpop band ‘Coldplay’ will perform at the same venue.
Enhypen will perform one more time at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex on the 6th. Next, ‘Walk the Line‘ will continue in three Japanese cities, including Saitama, Japan on November 9-10, Fukuoka on December 28-29, and Osaka on January 25-26 next year. It is the shortest three-city dome tour by a K-pop boy group (Beruna Dome, Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka, Kyocera Dome Osaka) and Enhyphen’s largest performance.
