ENHYPEN Announce 7th Mini Album ‘THE SIN : VANISH’, Set for January 2026 Release

ENHYPEN are already looking ahead. The group have officially announced their seventh mini album, THE SIN : VANISH, due for release on January 16, 2026, marking their first new project since a landmark year that firmly expanded their global footprint.

The announcement follows a dominant 2025 for ENHYPEN. Despite releasing just one album, DESIRE : UNLEASH, the group managed to turn restraint into impact. The record opened with 1.89 million copies sold on its first day and surpassed 2.14 million in its first week, becoming their third release to cross the double-million mark. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, topped Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, and led charts across Japan, including Oricon and Billboard Japan. Its lead single, “Bad Desire (With or Without You),” hit No. 1 on iTunes in 38 regions, underscoring the group’s widening international pull.

That commercial momentum ran alongside a busy touring calendar. 2025 saw ENHYPEN complete their first European arena tour, alongside a massive Japanese dome run that positioned them among the few fourth-generation groups capable of filling venues at that scale. 

THE SIN : VANISH appears set to extend the group’s long-running vampire narrative, this time with a darker emotional turn. According to the official announcement, the album tells the story of a vampire who, faced with the anxiety and danger of wanting to turn a loved one, chooses disappearance as an act of protection. It’s a theme that leans further into sacrifice and self-erasure, rather than temptation alone.

THE SIN : VANISH is arriving with expectations baked in. ENHYPEN closed 2025 in a position few groups reach – massive sales and touring at a genuinely global scale. DESIRE : UNLEASH reset their commercial ceiling, while the European arena dates and Japanese dome shows proved that demand translated beyond charts. In that context, the pressure now isn’t whether ENHYPEN can deliver, but how they choose to follow a year where everything landed with major commercial success.

Pre-orders for the album open on December 15, 2025, with the official release scheduled for January 16 at 2 pm KST. To mark the release, ENHYPEN will hold an online and in-person fan showcase later that evening at Hwajeong Tiger Dome at Korea University, with further details to be shared via Weverse.

With expectations already high after DESIRE : UNLEASH and more details still to come, THE SIN : VANISH is landing as a continuation that will test how far ENHYPEN can push both their narrative and their reach in 2026.
