ENHYPEN’s THE SIN : BLISS (2026): Full Tracklist, Release Time, and Everything About Their First Comeback as Six
Quick answer: ENHYPEN drops their 8th mini album THE SIN : BLISS on August 21, 2026 at 1 p.m. KST, with the title track Bloody Paradise and its music video following August 22 at 12 a.m. KST. It’s a 10-song mini album, and it’s the group’s first comeback as six members – Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki – since Heeseung’s departure from the group in March 2026. The story picks up directly from their January 2026 album THE SIN : VANISH, reframing the same forbidden relationship as something the two leads choose to accept rather than escape.
ENHYPEN’s comeback announcements usually center on concept photos and teaser trailers. This one carries more weight than that – it’s the first time fans hear a six-member ENHYPEN track list instead of seven, and the group’s label built an unusually large rollout around it, including 15 separate physical album formats.
Here’s the confirmed tracklist, exactly when and where to stream it, and what actually changed – both in the story and in the group – going into this era.

Why Is This ENHYPEN Comeback Different From Every Other One?
THE SIN : BLISS is ENHYPEN’s first release as a six-member group, following founding member Heeseung’s permanent departure, which label Belift Lab confirmed in March 2026.
Belift Lab’s statement at the time was direct: Heeseung had a clear artistic direction he wanted to pursue, and the label said it decided to respect that rather than keep him in the lineup. The announcement triggered immediate fan backlash, including a petition asking for his reinstatement that reportedly passed one million signatures. Heeseung has since rebranded as a soloist under the name EVAN, releasing his debut single in June 2026.
When I compared the promotional rollout for this era against ENHYPEN’s last few comebacks, the scale stood out – Belift Lab is releasing THE SIN : BLISS across 15 physical formats, which reads less like a routine mini album and more like the label making a deliberate statement that the six-member lineup is fully back in motion.
What’s Actually on THE SIN : BLISS Tracklist?
THE SIN : BLISS has 10 tracks, opening with Two Fools and closing with a track translated as Hidden Truth, with Bloody Paradise sitting at track six as the title song.
Early pre-save listings back in June only showed six tracks, so the final count catching fans off guard when the full tracklist dropped in early August makes sense – Belift Lab added four more songs between the initial pre-save page and the official reveal.
| # | Track | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Two Fools | Opening track |
| 2 | 속보 | Korean-titled track |
| 3 | Stuck | |
| 4 | Bad For You | |
| 5 | 사랑의 잔해 | Korean-titled track |
| 6 | Bloody Paradise | Title track |
| 7 | 최후의 순간 | Korean-titled track |
| 8 | Checkmate | |
| 9 | Highlight | |
| 10 | 가려진 진실 | Korean-titled closing track |
The mix of English and Korean titles running through the tracklist matches ENHYPEN’s pattern on THE SIN : VANISH, where the storyline’s key emotional beats got Korean titles and the more universal ones stayed in English.
When Does It Drop, and Where Do You Stream It?
THE SIN : BLISS releases August 21, 2026 at 1 p.m. KST, which lands at 12 a.m. EDT and 9 p.m. PDT the same calendar day for U.S. fans on the East and West Coasts.
The Bloody Paradise music video follows separately on August 22 at 12 a.m. KST – roughly 11 a.m. EDT and 8 a.m. PDT on August 21 for U.S. viewers, since the KST date rolls over before the U.S. day does.
The album is available to pre-save on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music now, and the full 10-track version releases simultaneously across all three at the official drop time – there’s no staggered platform rollout to plan around this time.
Physical album buyers should expect some shipping delay after release day, since K-pop retailers typically fulfill mass pre-orders in batches rather than all at once – ordering before August 21 rather than after gives you a real shot at an earlier batch.
What’s the Story Behind Bloody Paradise?
Bloody Paradise continues the storyline from THE SIN : VANISH, following the same two characters as they stop trying to escape their forbidden relationship and instead choose to accept it – reframed as a blessing rather than something to run from.
Reading the concept coverage around this comeback closely, I found that ENHYPEN and Belift Lab are leaning into a sin-versus-blessing contrast as the era’s central tension – the same relationship that was framed as a transgression on the last album gets reframed here as something worth keeping, no matter what it costs the two leads.
That kind of direct sequel storytelling is unusual even by K-pop’s concept-album standards – most groups reset the narrative each era rather than continuing one couple’s arc across back-to-back releases.
ENHYPEN has leaned on serialized world-building since debut, threading the same fictional universe through THE SIN, DARK BLOOD, and DIMENSION eras rather than treating each comeback as a standalone concept. Fans who’ve followed the lore since 2020 will recognize callbacks in the album’s visual teasers, while newer listeners can follow THE SIN : BLISS as a self-contained two-part story starting with VANISH.
How Does This Era Compare to THE SIN : VANISH?
THE SIN : VANISH was ENHYPEN’s last release as a seven-member group and one of their strongest sellers, moving over 113,000 pure album copies in the U.S. alone according to industry tracking.
| THE SIN : VANISH (Jan 2026) | THE SIN : BLISS (Aug 2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Lineup | 7 members (includes Heeseung) | 6 members |
| Track count | Standard mini album | 10 tracks |
| Story beat | Two leads try to escape their bond | Two leads choose to accept it |
| U.S. pure album sales | 113,000+ | Not yet released |
Whether THE SIN : BLISS matches that sales pace as a six-member group is the real open question of this era – it’s the first commercial read on whether the fandom’s backlash over Heeseung’s exit shows up in first-week numbers or stays contained to social media.
Fast Facts Before Release Day
- ✅ Pre-save the album now on Spotify or Apple Music if you want streaming numbers to count toward first-day totals.
- ✅ Set two alarms – the album drops 11 hours before the Bloody Paradise MV does, not at the same time.
- ✅ Double-check your time zone conversion – the KST-to-US date rollover trips up first-day streaming plans every comeback.
- ✅ Physical album pre-orders across the 15 formats are already open through major K-pop retailers.
Where Fans Get This Wrong
Don’t confuse the album release time with the MV premiere time – they’re roughly 11 hours apart, and setting one alarm for both means missing whichever one comes second.
Don’t assume every version of THE SIN : BLISS ships with all 10 tracks – some early third-party listings still reference the original six-track pre-save count, so confirm the track count on the platform or retailer you’re actually using before you buy.
FAQ
Is Heeseung featured anywhere on THE SIN : BLISS?
No – the album is credited entirely to the six current members, and Belift Lab has not indicated any archival vocals or writing credits from Heeseung on this release.
Will ENHYPEN promote as six members on music shows after this comeback?
Yes – the six-member lineup is the group’s ongoing configuration going forward, not a one-album adjustment, based on how Belift Lab has framed the transition.
Does THE SIN : BLISS wrap up the sin storyline or continue it further?
Available coverage frames this as the next chapter rather than a conclusion, continuing directly from THE SIN : VANISH, so a further installment remains plausible in a future era.
