ENHYPEN’s newly released seventh mini-album THE SIN: VANISH was selected by music fans as this week’s favorite new music in a Billboard fan poll published on Friday, January 16, 2026, earning approximately 68 % of the vote and outpacing other recent releases from artists including Madison Beer, A$AP Rocky and Mitski.

Released on January 16 in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese versions, THE SIN: VANISH is an 11-track concept collection rooted in the group’s ongoing narrative centered on a cohort of lovers navigating a world where vampires and humans coexist and choosing to flee in pursuit of forbidden love. The lead single “Knife” was highlighted with a music video debut on the same day as the album’s release.

The album has also shown strong commercial momentum. It topped the worldwide iTunes album chart and claimed number-one positions in at least 10 regions, including Brazil and India, while selling more than 1.65 million copies on its first day of sales, according to Hanteo Chart data, marking one of ENHYPEN’s highest initial sales figures to date. The track “Knife” reached number one on realtime domestic charts and has rapidly accumulated views on YouTube.

Alongside its chart success, THE SIN: VANISH has garnered significant attention from global media outlets, with critics noting the album’s immersive narrative structure and the group’s evolving artistic ambitions. ENHYPEN is planning experiential fan events tied to the release, including a pop-up store in Seoul featuring interactive zones and exclusive merchandise running from January 21 to January 27.

A remix version of the mini-album featuring reinterpretations of “Knife” in seven distinct member-focused versions is also scheduled for release on January 19, 2026, expanding the project’s reach and creative scope.
