The group ENHYPEN has shaken the largest music festival in the United States, and its aftermath is not fading away easily. Praise from foreign media and global fans for ENHYPEN's 'Coachella' performance continues, and greater attention is expected to be focused on their remaining stage on the 19th (local time).
ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Ni-ki) delivered an overwhelming performance with 13 songs at the 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' (hereafter 'Coachella') on the 12th, leaving a strong impression with their live performance.
The American music publication Billboard noted, "ENHYPEN made history with their 'Coachella' debut stage," adding, "These individuals, who took the Coachella stage the fastest among K-pop boy groups, captivated the audience throughout their performance with hit songs like 'Paranormal,' 'XO (Only If You Say Yes) (English Ver.),' and 'No Doubt.'"
The publication also remarked, "The stage design, transitioning from the burning city to the calm above the clouds, led the audience into a single journey," highlighting ENHYPEN's footsteps and current status as they stand at the center of the global stage, starting from the 2020 Mnet survival program 'I-LAND.'
Billboard Brazil also described ENHYPEN's 'Coachella' stage as magnificent, stating, "Within just five years of their debut, they have become one of the most exciting groups in K-pop. ENHYPEN has made 'Coachella' their home base, raising expectations for the next weekend."
The American fashion magazine GQ focused on ENHYPEN's fashion in an article titled 'ENHYPEN shakes Coachella in cowboy-style Prada custom outfits.' GQ described how the vintage-style denim, leather belt, and stone embellishments, specially made by Prada, perfectly matched the free-spirited atmosphere of 'Coachella,' highlighting ENHYPEN's sophisticated energy, and remarked that "their 'Wild West' theme is an ideal concept for 'Coachella.'"
