ENHYPEN Achieves First Billboard 200 #1 with 6-Member Lineup After Member Departure

K-pop group ENHYPEN is currently making headlines in Korea for achieving their first #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart with their 8th mini-album 'THE SIN : BLISS'. This milestone is particularly notable as it marks their first release and success as a re-formed 6-member group, drawing significant attention to their current lineup and journey.

Released on August 21st, 'THE SIN : BLISS' recorded 98,000 album units in the US, including 92,000 traditional album sales. This achievement makes ENHYPEN the sixth K-pop boy group to top the Billboard 200, following a consistent climb over 10 entries and 7 consecutive Top 10 placements. The group transitioned to a 6-member lineup after Heeseung's departure on March 10th, 2026, as he chose to pursue solo activities under Belift Lab. Their initial formation saw members like Jungwon (1st), Jay (2nd), Jake (3rd), and Ni-ki (4th) determined through the I-LAND final rankings.

Korean bloggers observe that ENHYPEN's Billboard 200 #1 is not a sudden success but rather a culmination of their sustained global chart performance, having previously reached the top 2. The significance of this achievement for the group's new 6-member configuration is frequently highlighted, with fans and commentators acknowledging their journey from I-LAND rankings to global chart-toppers.
