ENHYPEN Shine Bright on the Opening Night of Their ‘FATE’ Tour
ENHYPEN brought the house down on Friday, Oct. 6, at Dignity Health Sports Park. The K-pop group kicked off their second world tour in Los Angeles, "FATE," with new performances, new songs, a bigger stage and more.

The visuals for the concert immediately set the mood for ENHYPEN's new era. With heavy vampire elements, the band's VCRs were on brand with spooky season and something that the crowd could get into. The setlist was actually perfect, and there was never a moment you'd want to look away from the stage when the group was performing because it was just that captivating.

The group started the show with their viral hit "Drunk-Dazed," and it was the perfect way to begin, in our opinion. The energy got everyone on their feet, singing and dancing. They performed a couple more tracks before singing two more popular songs back to back, "Flicker" and "FEVER." We'd also like to shout out the costume designers for this tour because the guys came out looking like Disney princes for the first set of songs.
Next, decked in all-white outfits, the group returned to the stage to perform a crowd favorite and one of our personal faves, "Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)." We saw this performance on the last tour as well, but the stage presence and command the group had over the stage was even more impressive this time around. The backup dancers they included for the performance were also very good.
They also performed another top song, "Blessed-Cursed," before changing into black and white outfits for "Attention, please!" For this song, Jay whipped out an electric guitar that only made the stadium erupt even louder. "ParadoXXX Invasion" was next, and then we were hit with a surprise that we didn't want to spoil but truly made the night even more special. The group performed several more songs, including "Polaroid Love," which had the crowd most involved throughout the night because the members walked down the aisles on the floor to greet ENGENE.

The group then returned with some of their newer songs, and one of our personal favorite songs of this entire year was finally performed. "Bite Me" may have taken all night to hear live, but it was entirely worth it. The black outfits with red splotches signifying blood during these sets of songs were such a nice touch. And, of course, they weren't done yet, coming out for an encore performance that still left us wanting more. The members were extremely grateful the entire night and so excited to be performing in their first stadium in the U.S. We give the concert a 10 out of 10 and hope everyone gets a chance to see the group one day.

ENHYPEN continuously showed, throughout the night, just how much can change in a year. They are on the rise, and we are happy to be along the ride with them. From their confidence on stage to the number of ENGENE's in attendance, it's only up from here, and we hope to see them in many more stadiums across the globe in the near future.
