The group ENHYPEN proved its overwhelming popularity in Japan following Korea and the United States.
On the 10th, according to the Recording Industry Association of Japan, ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Ni-ki)'s mini album 7 THE SIN : VANISH exceeded 250,000 units shipped as of January and earned the gold disc "platinum" certification. The Recording Industry Association of Japan certifies records each month based on cumulative shipments into categories such as "gold" (100,000 units), "platinum" (250,000 units) and "double platinum" (500,000 units).
THE SIN : VANISH proved its hot popularity by taking the top spot on the Oricon daily album ranking (Jan. 21) as soon as it was released in Japan. It also reached No. 1 on Line Music's weekly "Album Top 100" (charting period Jan. 14-20) and ranked high on the weekly charts of Oricon and Billboard Japan. Riding strong local popularity, a global fan event in Tokyo called "VAMPIRE IS COMING," which will screen a video containing the album's narrative, is scheduled for the 14th.
THE SIN : VANISH previously surpassed 2.07 million copies in first-week sales (album sales in the week immediately following release), becoming the group's fourth "double million seller." In the United States it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard main album chart, the Billboard 200. With this, ENHYPEN continued its strong performance by placing six consecutive albums in the chart's "top 10."
ENHYPEN is active in various ways at the 2026 Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics. Their mini album 3 MANIFESTO : DAY 1 track "SHOUT OUT" was selected as the official cheering song for Team Korea, boosting the national team athletes' morale. Member Sunghoon served as a torchbearer, acting as a bridge between K-pop and sports.
