ENHYPEN will release a six-track mini album titled "The Sin: Bliss" on August 21, 2026, marking the group’s first project as a six-member act. Belift Lab confirmed the August date to Dispatch and said the label would share further details through an official notice. Presave listings on Spotify list the title and track count.
The release comes seven months after the group’s previous mini album, "The Sin: Vanish," which debuted at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales Chart and sold more than two million copies in its first week. The six remaining members are Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki.
Founding member Heeseung left the group in March 2026. Belift Lab confirmed on March 16, 2026, that the departure was permanent. "Heeseung will not be returning to ENHYPEN. He has a clear artistic direction he wants to pursue, and we decided to respect that," the agency told the Korea Herald.
Heeseung has since rebranded as EVAN and is preparing solo music for a June 2026 release. ENHYPEN is currently on the Blood Saga World Tour, which began May 1, 2026, and continues through the end of 2026 and into 2027. " Heeseung’s exit prompted fan protests outside HYBE offices in Seoul and Los Angeles and a petition seeking his reinstatement that collected more than one million signatures.
