HYBE’s rookies are on their way to one-up themselves with their newest release, ‘Dimension: Dilemma’ that released on October 12. Enhypen was already on its way to global domination with its almost million pre-release sales. Just a day before the release of the album, Enhypen recorded a 900K pre-order for their first-ever studio album. The boys who debuted in 2020 are already on their way to becoming one of the most sought-after fourth-gen groups. Now, the group has also broken their own record in terms of sales only in a week of their album.

The song, ‘Tamed: Dashed’ from Enhypen serves as the title track of the album which marks their attempt at moving on to a youthful journey. With three versions of their album, Enhypen attempts at telling three different stories. The music video shows three different auras that the boys embody. With their movie-like story in the pop-rock song, 'Tamed: Dashed' made its debut on Bugs chart at Number 24 as well as on Genie charts at Number 204 only one hour after the release of the song, proving Enhypen's popularity.
