KPop sensation ENHYPEN has now entered its sixth year since debut, marking a phase that’s making their fans anxious. It’s common for the standard length of an idol contract to be seven years, and the group should soon begin their contract conversations. ENHYPEN recently took part in an interview on January 14, 2026, to promote their seventh mini album titled “THE SIN : VANISH.” The album project was released today, January 16, and the seven-year mark is approaching faster than ever. This period is often seen as a turning point for many idol groups, which makes ENHYPEN’s situation especially important to their global fandom.
During the interview, the members focused mainly on their new music and activities. However, curiosity about contract renewals remained strong, and the topic was raised. Leader Jungwon was asked whether there had been discussions regarding the group’s plans with their company. His response was short and left room for interpretation. He stated that no talks had taken place yet and emphasized that the group intends to work hard to produce positive results for ENGENE, the official name of their fanbase.

“There have been no discussions yet. We will work hard to achieve positive results for ENGENE,” Jungwon said.
The brief comment quickly began circulating among fans and sparked many conversations on social media. Fans expressed both concern and optimism on social platforms, assuming that official discussions would emerge later during the year when the members finish promoting their most recent project. Others commented that the group should choose whatever decision is best for their careers and well-being. Regardless of the uncertainty, ENGENEs voiced their continued support and are now enjoying their most recent work, “THE SIN : VANISH” along with the main single, “Knife.”
