Enhypen members review ‘Dawn’ concept photos

In the lead-up to the band’s highly anticipated debut, the members of Enhypen reviewed the previously released concept photos for their forthcoming album, “Border: Day One.”

Sunghoon, Jungwon and Jay took to V Live on Saturday, kicking off the broadcast by congratulating Jungwon for being tapped as
the group’s leader.

“Since I am one of the youngest, some might think that I might be clumsy at being a leader. But I will try my best to become a good leader with responsibility. Please look forward to it,” Jungwon said.

The bandmates then brought out a tablet computer to review their “Dawn” concept photos for the upcoming album. Sharing stories and details about each musician’s photos, they exchanged compliments and helped satisfy fans’ curiosity about the mysterious concept photos.

Enhypen, a new boy group from Mnet survival show “I-Land,” is slated to make its debut in November. Initially, the high-profile show -- jointly organized by South Korean entertainment giant CJ ENM and Big Hit Entertainment, home to BTS and TXT -- had a rough start due to extremely low ratings and a series of controversies. But with support from its undeniably powerful global fandom,
Enhypen emerged as a force to be reckoned with.

Cha Eun-woo greets fans ahead of new drama ‘True Beauty’


Singer-actor Cha Eun-woo expressed his excitement over the upcoming tvN drama series “True Beauty.’ In the romantic comedy flick the Astro member plays Lee Su-ho, a popular student who looks perfect outside, but feels vulnerable inside.

“It feels just like yesterday when I worried about the drama, and less than a month is left before its launch. I feel nervous and excited at the same time,” said Cha.

“I had a shooting today, and the set was nearby our office so I decided to say hi to you guys through this. I think it’s important to use your spare time, as there’s a saying that success is decided by how you manage your spare time.”

He also assured fans that his health was fine these days despite his hectic schedule.

“True Beauty” is set to premiere Dec. 9.
