Dimension answer7/31/2023 ![]() In DIMENSION : ANSWER, the septet begin to cast doubts on the society manifested by competition that constantly tells them to wake up, face reality, and follow the norm. They questioned their own identity as they faced their desires, but were determined to dash forward even in a dilemma, hoping to find the answers along the way. The rising authentic storytellers opened their ‘DIMENSION’ series with the release of their 1st Studio Album DIMENSION : DILEMMA which unraveled ENHYPEN’s story beyond the border of debut where they realized their new world was even more complex and multidimensional than envisioned. “It’s like a polaroid love / Love, that old-fashioned feeling / But my heart is racing,” Jake and Ni-ki sing on the chorus.Your new K-pop destination ENHYPEN are back with 1st Studio Repackage Album DIMENSION : ANSWER. In it, the group find magic in something as ordinary as polaroid photos, comparing them to love – something everyday and commonplace but still capable of adding an iridescent sparkle to your waking hours. Sandwiched in between the two is the candy-coloured R&B-tinged pop of ’Polaroid Love’, a little breather from the big questions about the biggest topic of all, life. ![]() “This is the real beginning of a world of my own.” “Maybe this won’t amount to much, but I won’t let someone else write for me,” he declares. Like ‘Dilemma’’s ‘Interlude: Question’, that stretch gets filled up with queries, Jake pondering: “How must I live tomorrow? Where must I begin? / Waking up early? Out of bed by 6am?” This time, though, he has a conclusion. Its stuttering, space-y synths slow the blood-pumping pace like the chaos of day melting into the quiet of night, eking out more space for reflection. If the single is assured and fierce, then ‘Outro: Day 2’ moves into a more contemplative state. “And I’ll walk like a lion, I’m making my own history,” they sing with headstrong confidence on the chorus, rejecting the “boundaries holding me in”. ![]() Independence – be it in their thinking or their attitude – becomes key to ENHYPEN’s seven members, who are boldly breaking off from the pack to find their identities outside of the constraints of the world’s rules and restrictions. “I just go my own way,” they assert on their new title track ‘Blessed-Cursed’, another enticing single that mixes crunching, fiery guitar riffs with the thundering thud of hip-hop bass. Despite its title, ‘Answer’ doesn’t claim to have any of the solutions, but it does offer some insight on how the band will move forward in their search for them from here on out. “So, what is it I want? / Is this correct? / What should I do? What choice do I make? / Who am I? And what do I mean when I say ‘me’?” Jake mused on the breakbeat-infused ‘Interlude: Question’, voice thick with uncertainty. ![]() READ MORE: ENHYPEN: “We’re determined to become ‘the’ destination for K-pop fans around the world”Īs ‘Dilemma’ ended, the septet seemed to be caught in something of a crisis.Here, you begin to forge your own path and it’s at this point we find ENHYPEN on ‘Dimension : Answer’, the extended repackage of their first full-length album ‘Dimension : Dilemma’.
