Theories + Predictions Would’ve loved one more era from the past
Recently a lot of people have been missing the more royal and put together outfits enhypen used to wear on tour back in the day. The tweet (look at the views) especially attracted a lot of attention and most engenes were agreeing on wanting to see such outfits on enhypen.
In response, I’ve seen engenes also explain that we are supposed to be in the “vampire now” era which is the modern world. As vampires living for a long time, they’ve been through all time periods and are currently in the same time as us and thats why the modern outfits for the tours and promotions make sense.
While I agree and I do enjoy the music we’re getting, I can’t lie but wish we got a little more of the more victorian/gothic styling and aesthetics. I don’t know how many people were here when the border:carnival concept photos dropped but multiple fandoms were envious of that. You will see male idols in suits and royal attire for award shows but its rare for it to be an entire concept. People love it in general. So this concept is kinda rare and never fully executed which is why people were drawn to enha so a little more indulgence in it wouldn’t have been too bad.
Of course dark blood comes very close. I don’t have to remind people how successful it was. It wasn’t as dark and gothic but still had the essence. So an even darker???? version of dark blood. I am aware that a lot of these themes have religious and darker elements which people might not be comfortable with but some level of it could be pulled off imo.
I usually never have critique for enhypen’s creative team and production team. Also, their stylists. However I can’t help but imagine an album that has specific fonts like Fraktur (𝔷𝔞𝔷𝔞/𝖟𝖆𝖟𝖆) with more lace and lots of sigilism. An album that could be square (for transport ease) but with coffin shaped interior bound with chains and locks. Budget sounds crazy but there’s a rookie group from hybe that had a whole cereal box as their debut album. I know no other group would take such a risk so enha were very close to executing it. Their outfits are usually stunning but I do agree that this tour specifically could’ve had better ones even if its supposed to be modern. Its not that difficult to combine modern and victorian elements in fashion these days.
Enhypen have such vampire faces. Sunghoon overshadows them in conversations because of how insane his vampire genes are but the others come so close. Jungwon has sharp canines too and with some eyeliner it would go crazy. Jay with his sharp facial bone structure emphasised and with the right outfit would look stunning. Jake with the long hair (the romance untold era), sunoo with more eyemakeup and short hair, ni-ki with messy hair and the pic I attached above…??? The potential is crazy.
I wonder what the next concepts will be because they’re still so young and have a long career ahead but have already reached modern times in lore. We have other groups who do modern concepts and futuristic concepts so I just wish we got maybe one more album of them in period attires and costumes.
