Official Description[]
| “ |
"“Drunk-Dazed” amidst a magnificent carnival,
ENHYPEN expresses their sincerest emotions facing the new world past the border. After debut, the septet is invited into a whole new world filled with glitz and glamor, reminiscent of a magnificent carnival. They experience everything for the first time and existing rules don’t apply. Awe and perplexity coexist in this unfamiliar environment where the world seems to be turned upside down and the boundaries broken. However, confusion vanishes in a flash. Entranced by the festive atmosphere, the boys are led to the center of the carnival guided by the gazes and cheers of the crowd. As a continuation from the breakout boyband’s debut album BORDER : DAY ONE, BORDER : CARNIVAL captures the act’s evolving emotions, illustrated by three visual concepts: “UP”, “HYPE”, and “DOWN”. ENHYPEN unravels their honest emotions and connects with their generation through a total of six tracks: “Intro : The Invitation”, lead single “Drunk-Dazed”, “FEVER”, “Not For Sale”, “Mixed Up”, and “Outro : The Wormhole.”" |
