Enhypen plan US TV debut on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show', follow label mates BTS, TXT

Now that all groups under HYBE are going global, Enhypen is following in the footsteps of BTS and TXT and making their US TV debut on November 23

The roaring success of Enhypen's last album, ‘Dimension: Dilemma’ cannot be denied after it sold a million albums within weeks of its release. The 'million-seller' Enhypen has become one of the most powerful rookie groups, not only in terms of album sales, but also for how well they chart, both domestically and internationally. Enhypen debuted on November 30, 2020, with the extended play, ‘Border: Day One’. They will be marking the first anniversary of their debut in only nine days, and so Enhypen has decided to meet fans in an in-person as well as an online event.

As Enhypen celebrates their first successful year in the industry, the boy band left pandemic woes behind them by interacting with fans during their anniversary special concert titled, ‘En-Connect: Companion’ on November 19 at 6 pm KST (4 am ET). The concert welcomed fans at the KBS Arena Hall in Seoul while international fans were able to see the event live, online. Since Enhypen is doing pretty well in Japan, the group also has a concert lineup for the second day for fans from the land of the rising sun. The boys will host a Japanese version of ‘En-Connect: Companion’ where they will entertain fans with performances of their Japanese tracks.

Jake celebrates birthday in New York

Jake, the singer, and rapper from Enhypen, also made an 'appearance' in New York to celebrate his birthday on November 15 — not in person but as a giant billboard taking over the prime Times Square location. After the global K-pop platform, Whosfan hosted a poll asking fans to pick their favourite idol who would 'celebrate birthday in Times Square?' Fans of Jake voted for the member in such high numbers that he won with 64% votes in total on the platform.

As promised, the winning idol had his photograph displayed at Times Square in New York on the week of his birthday. GOT7's Yugyeom who celebrated his birthday on November 17 ranked second on the poll while P1Harmony's Jongseop who celebrates his birthday on November 19 ranked third on the poll. The advertisement was sent out for a week from November 15th to 21st, on a large, 47-meter-long billboard in the building right next to the heart of Times Square in New York.
