The group ENHYPEN prepared a sweet musical gift for the end of the year.
ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Ni-ki) exclusively released the project track "Mistletoe" on Apple Music at 6 p.m. on the 11th.
This track was produced as part of Apple Music's "2025 Carols Covered" campaign. Apple Music holds the "Carols Covered" campaign every year at the end of the year, gathering classic carols reinterpreted by the era's top artists and presenting them in immersive spatial audio. ENHYPEN participated as the only K-pop artist this year, demonstrating their high global standing and influence.
"Mistletoe" is a mega-hit song released by global pop star Justin Bieber in 2011; it ranked high on the U.S. Billboard "Hot 100" and its music video surpassed 500 million views. ENHYPEN reinterpreted this bright, festive song with their own personality, offering many listeners a romantic and warm year-end sentiment.
ENHYPEN said, "It's a song we always listened to at the end of the year, and we felt the sweet lyrics of 'Mistletoe' resemble the way ENGENE (the fandom name) looks at ENHYPEN," and added, "We're looking forward to conveying the year-end atmosphere well to our fans."
