Enhypen World Tour Fate In Singapore

Fans of Enhypen will be glad to see their idols for the first time in Singapore, when the South Korean boy band hold two concerts here on Jan 20 and 21.

Formed in 2020 through the South Korean reality competition I-Land, the seven-member group consists of Ni-ki, Heeseung, Jake, Sunghoon, Jungwon, Sunoo and Jay.

The band’s name comes from the hyphen symbol, which connects different words to create new meanings. In the same way, Enhypen hope to come together to form an act based on connection, discovery and growth.

They have released the studio albums Dimension: Dilemma (2021) in Korean and Sadame (2022) in Japanese. Their latest album Orange Blood, released in November 2023, also debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

The Singapore performances are part of their second world tour, titled Fate, which has already travelled to Asian cities such as Seoul, Tokyo and Macau, as well as Chicago and Dallas in the United States.

American singer-songwriter Melanie Martinez will be performing in Singapore on Jan 25 as part of her first Asian tour.

The Portals tour is the 28-year-old’s fourth concert tour, in support of her 2023 studio album of the same name. The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and contains the self-reflective track Void, which has been played on Spotify more than 100 million times.

The dreamy-sounding Death also suggests how one’s essence continues to live on even after the physical body dies.

The tour will see Martinez performing exclusively as her alter ego Cry Baby, an otherworldly creature with pink skin, two pairs of blue eyes and green hair, and typically clad in nature-inspired clothing.
