The five-year journey that idol group ENHYPEN has walked will unfold as an experiential exhibition clad in cutting-edge technology.

According to HYBE JAPAN on the 5th, the music experience exhibition ‘House of Vampire ~Dive into ENHYPEN Chronicle~’ (hereinafter ‘House of Vampire’), which follows the footsteps of ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, NI-KI), will be held from the 5th through March 16 at Shinjuku Sumitomo Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Drawing explosive interest from local fans already at the reservation stage, the exhibition bustled with numerous ENGENE (fandom name) from the moment it opened and enjoyed great success.

As suggested by the subtitle ‘Dive into ENHYPEN Chronicle’, this exhibition places emphasis on delivering overwhelming immersion that makes visitors feel as if they are being pulled into the group’s narrative. Going beyond simple viewing, a multisensory experience akin to enjoying an amusement park attraction draws visitors into the heart of ENHYPEN’s signature vampire lore and dark-fantasy musical world. In particular, the members’ delicate vampire performancesunlike anything seen elsewhereare expected to maximize visitor satisfaction.

The exhibition features: ▲ interactive elements where the ending changes depending on visitors’ choices ▲ differentiated visuals of ENHYPEN accessible through newly unveiled content ▲ spatial direction infused with the advanced technologies of global companies such as Sony·Hibino.

At the entrance, visitors receive an invitation under the premise that they have become ‘bats (blood relatives like vampires)’ and then enter the mansion. From the debut album ‘BORDER : DAY ONE’ to the 2nd full-length repackage ‘ROMANCE : UNTOLD -daydream-’, as they pass through each album’s theme room, they encounter unique staging that makes them forget reality. Special effects that make it feel as if you transform into a bat upon entry and photo spots where the image flips when using flashamong various hidden devices throughoutadd an extra layer of fun.

The technical sophistication is also overwhelming. A large indoor screen measuring 10 meters wide by 5 meters high creates a lifelike presence, as if the members are right before your eyes. Combined with 8K ultra-high-definition stereo filming technology that even calculates the distance between human pupils, it enables a ‘surreal’ experience where real space and stereoscopic imagery blend seamlessly without boundaries.

To commemorate the opening, flags promoting the exhibition will line the streets of Shin-Okubo Shopping Street (Okubo Street), Tokyo’s leading K-culture district, through the 12th. HYBE JAPAN plans to offer a variety of delights to fans at home and abroad through promotions linked with major commercial facilities in Shinjuku.

Lee Su-hyun, head of the Music·Video Business Division at HYBE JAPAN who oversaw the project, said, “The core of this exhibition is a thoroughly ‘sensory domination’ experience,” adding, “By combining artist IP with state-of-the-art technology, we sought to create a new entertainment value that did not exist before.”
