DARK BLOOD
DARK BLOOD (2023) is the mini album where ENHYPEN's vampire storyline turns to forgetting, remorse and devotion: the narrator has lost the memory of the one he was bound to and wants to give everything back. Fate is a spoken narration in formal written Korean, Bite Me and Sacrifice (Eat Me Up) plead for rescue, and Bills borrows the vocabulary of debt and payment to describe a breakup. Expect words for fate, pleading and regret alongside plain everyday verbs like paying back and piling up.
