Now that Dark Blood Promotions are ending, and with a rumored album in the 4th quarter of the year, what would you like to see enhypen explore in terms of concept, sounds, styling, etc? For me, I think we can keep the mature vibes but with something a bit more fun and lighter. My dream has always been for Enha to plagiarize Exo, lol. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I Wanna see something like Sacrifice or Fever for a title track. Not just a Bside. I love that type of music. A dreamy concept.
Would love enha to pursue a more rock and exciting sound like blessed cursed, which (hot take incoming) I thought was their best comeback sound. Drunk dazed was also a clear favorit e because of how energetic that chorus was. I’m not really on board with the more “dreamy” or chill sound of their new album and what they are trying to do, but that is probably me just being biased as a huge dreamcatcher stan and a fan of their type of sound. I would die from happiness if Enhypen decided to pursue a song like Because by dreamcatcher
More Dark Fantasy stuff
A college crush concept!
Kinda like BoyNextDoor, except less of cute and more of cool boyish 😀
They’re already doing my dream concept. Absolutely stick with the vampire thing but I’m fine with upbeat/harder sound (Future Perfect, One In A Billion) or mature, dark dreamy (Sacrifice, Chaconne). Anything cute or ‘school boy’ would be my absolute least favourite. I think I saw a clip where Sunghoon said the next comeback would be ‘boom!’ but I might be misremembering something. I’m interested in boom 😄
To me each comeback feels very distinct, so I hope they keep doing something new for each comeback, plus I love fantasy so the vampire theme is also right up my alley.
This was at the end of the [interview with the director](https://magazine.weverse.io/article/view?lang=en&num=783): “As the first part of the *BLOOD* series, *DARK BLOOD* “leaves enough open threads for the upcoming chapters to develop.” so I guess the next comebacks might be more connected, but I think it will be in the underlying storytelling/fantasy, and they will still switch it up a bit in terms of mood and style (like we had Border and Dimension but the cbs were very different with a continued message about their idol journey).
With that, I have some things in mind that would be fun:
* Futuristic – the members were trying to get back to the future in the concept trailer, but uturistic settings can also be fantastic, post-apocalyptic as well (Dune or Book of the Ancestor series – more swordfights) so I’m thinking more along those lines
* Elegant – and make it fresh but alluring, similar styles would be BTS’s Blood, Sweat & Tears, My House by 2PM, Opera by Super Junior (a weird list I know)
* Fairy Tale – The [Bite Me intro VCR](https://youtu.be/BFEc2ydw3cg?t=4570) at the showcase with the wings, swords, chains etc looked so good I’d love to have something like each member having a fairy tale trope, or more play on magical powers – styling-wise something vaguely like Vixx’s Shangri-la or Fantasy
* Horror – Delving into more of the themes of power, pride and being a monster that was mentioned in the lyrics of Fate and Chaconne. Maybe a theme of obession could also make sense (EXO’s obsession, VIXX vodoo doll kinda fits this for me)
Hm looka like some examples overlap making the overall elegant, dark, and heavy on storytelling. Enhypen can do anything extremely well but I think they could be known for their strong and immersive concepts. I’ll stop heeeereee.
With how well Bite Me did, I think it would be smart of them to strike a good balance between keeping the fantasy theme with the melodic pop sound but making it different enough to make it exciting.
More energetic performance like future perfect and drunk-dazed with futuristic concept! They really fits edgey styling like recent photoshoot(sorry I forgot the magazine title), so I expect they will explore a bit more aesthetic-wise.
