The 23-year-old Korean-Australian singer spoke ahead of the release of the group\u2019s new project, \u201cTHE SIN : VANISH.\u201d He revealed that at the start of 2025, he set a personal goal to improve his production skills and create at least two songs during the year. Those two tracks were later included on ENHYPEN\u2019s mini-album. Jake produced both a narration track and a full song, titled &#8220;Sleep Tight,&#8221; marking his first official production credits with his group.<\/p>\n<p><iframe hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/intl-es\/album\/62K0QHi2SjuhMe94kfYxq3?si=cmW2p4JSTMabI_WXgipLlg\" title=\"Spotify Embed: THE SIN : VANISH\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/62K0QHi2SjuhMe94kfYxq3?si=cmW2p4JSTMabI_WXgipLlg&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote><p>\u201cRight at the start of 2025, my personal goal was to be more active or work on my producing skills. My goal was to put out or make two or more songs this year \u2014 that was kind of my personal goal for 2025. I\u2019m so happy that the two songs that I made got to be on this album.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<h2>The demands of the KPop idol life<\/h2>\n<p>Jake explained that being a KPop idol often means following a strict schedule from morning to night. He shared that, while he used to enjoy the structure, it can become tiring and repetitive over time. In that same line, producing music gave him a different kind of energy, which he described as feeling a unique adrenaline in the studio and said it allowed him to think in a more creative way. For him, working on music offered something new beyond scheduled rehearsals and group activities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song-615x410.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.musicmundial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ENHYPENs-Jake-self-written-song-860x573.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m a person that really likes that because I\u2019m just wired that way.

However, he believes young trainees should start learning about production as early as possible. Even observing sessions in the studio can be helpful to that objective. Meanwhile, Jake plans to continue producing in the future and sees it as an important part of his growth as an artist.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote><p>\u201cStart as young as possible, just interact with as much music as possible. Even if you\u2019re not doing the actual production, I feel like it\u2019s a good learning step to just be in the room and just see what people are doing.
