Enhypen opened its new world tour “Blood Saga” with immersive, narrative-driven concerts at Kspo Dome in southern Seoul over the weekend, marking its first major performance as a six-member group. Held from Friday to Sunday, the group’s Seoul concerts drew a total of 32,250 fans, setting the stage for a global tour spanning 21 cities.

A K-pop group's main vocalist typically carries outsized weight. The role shapes not only the quality of the music, but also the level of satisfaction a live performance delivers. When that pillar disappears, a group's stage presence, as expected, tends to take a hit. That was the biggest concern on this reporter's mind heading into ENHYPEN's Saturday concert in Seoul.

It also served as a litmus test of whether ENHYPEN could hold its ground without one of its defining members. On the Seoul leg's second day, fans in coordinated black-and-red dress code filled the arena, while members of the press gathered as the group s
