ENHYPEN’s seventh mini-album, “THE SIN: VANISH,” achieved immediate commercial success, sweeping domestic and international charts upon its release. In addition, the boy group received a lot of praise from international media outlets, just like Billboard.
On January 16, 2026, a couple of hours after the release of the album, Billboard published a full-track review article discussing the new musical project. The article highlighted ENHYPEN’s immersive album for their long-running vampire narrative into a seamless, continuous flow.
The vampire aesthetic comes from their webtoon hit series, “Dark Moon: The Blood Altar,” which is brought as part of this new project with a bold point of view. Billboard noted that much like a podcast or an audiobook, it is an album that is difficult to stop once you start listening.
In addition, Billboard describes the title track, “Knife,” as “an intense and impactful track designed to dominate the stage.” The album is highly praised for its strong cohesion between songs, interludes, and B-Side tracks. Other major media outlets, such as Forbes and Vogue, have agreed to give ENHYPEN their flowers for such an iconic release.
