Yesterday (October 12), ENHYPEN released their first full-length album âDimension : Dilemmaâ. For the record, the boyband worked with TXTâs Yeonjun on the song âBlockbusterâ, for which Yeonjun is also credited as a songwriter, composer and lyricist.
During a press conference for the release of âDimension : Dilemmaâ, ENHYPENâs Heesung said that it was âexciting to work with an artist from outside the group for the first time, and that being a senior member from HYBE Labels was a big honor for usâ, per The Korea Herald.
âThe song is a pop-rock genre [about] the hopes of a boy who wants to live his life like an action movie character. We thought the song, with its fierce energy, should include rap verses, and thankfully Yeonjunâs featuring really upped the vibe,â he added.
Aside from âBlockbusterâ, ENHYPENâs new album âDimension : Dilemmaâ also features the title track âTamed-Dashedâ. Sunghoon said he was âsurprisedâ when he first heard the song as it is âmuch more upbeat than our previous lead songsâ.
Last month, Stone Music Entertainment and Genie Music, the distributors for the boybandâs new record, revealed to Newsen that âDimension : Dilemmaâ had surpassed half a million pre-orders just one week after the album was officially announced.
