ENHYPEN Set for First Six-Member Comeback With August Album

ENHYPEN are preparing to return in August 2026 with their first album as a six-member group. The ENHYPEN August Comeback will mark the group’s first new release since the lineup was reorganized following Heeseung’s departure from the team. ¹

BELIFT LAB confirmed that the group is working toward an August comeback, with Dispatch reporting the agency’s statement that ENHYPEN are “preparing with the goal of making a comeback in August.” ¹ The new album is expected to arrive about seven months after the release of the group’s seventh mini album, ‘THE SIN : VANISH,’ which was issued in January 2026. ²

ENHYPEN’s First Six-Member Comeback

The upcoming release is being framed across reports as ENHYPEN’s first album since the group shifted to six members. BELIFT LAB previously announced through Weverse that Heeseung would leave ENHYPEN and that the team would continue official activities as a six-member group. ³

The current lineup is Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki. Xportsnews identified those six members as the group’s active lineup in its June 18, 2026 report on the comeback, while Billboard Korea also reported in March that ENHYPEN would continue activities with those members after Heeseung’s team departure. ² ⁴

That lineup context is central to the new album. The August release is not only the group’s next musical project after a seven-month gap, but also the first new album to test the team’s recorded output under its changed structure. Reports have not provided a final album title, tracklist, concept details, or exact release date beyond the August 2026 target.

BELIFT LAB’s earlier Weverse notice also stated that Heeseung would prepare a solo album as an artist under the same agency. ³ Teen Vogue reported the same transition on March 10, 2026, describing Heeseung’s move toward solo activity while noting that ENHYPEN would continue with Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki. ⁵

Seven Months After ‘THE SIN : VANISH’

The August comeback will follow ‘THE SIN : VANISH,’ ENHYPEN’s seventh mini album, released in January 2026. Multiple reports describe the new project as the group’s first album in about seven months. ¹ ²

No further official information has been released in the provided source material about the album format, number of songs, promotional schedule, or whether the project will be issued as a mini album, full-length album, or another format. The confirmed information is limited to the August 2026 comeback target, the six-member lineup, and the fact that it follows the January mini album.

Soompi also reported on June 18, 2026 that ENHYPEN are preparing an August comeback, summarizing the update as the group’s first return after reorganizing as a six-member act and their first activity since the January release. ⁶ The outlet cited BELIFT LAB’s confirmation that “ENHYPEN is preparing with the goal of making a comeback in August.” ⁶

The phrasing from the agency indicates a planned comeback window rather than a fully detailed rollout. As of the source material, the exact date in August has not been specified. That leaves the central confirmed point clear: ENHYPEN’s next album cycle is being prepared for August 2026, and it will be the first under the six-member configuration.

Lineup Change Defines the Album Context

ENHYPEN’s six-member structure follows BELIFT LAB’s March announcement about the group’s future activities. The agency said through Weverse that ENHYPEN would continue official activities as six members, while Heeseung would pursue solo work under BELIFT LAB. ³

Billboard Korea’s March 10, 2026 coverage placed the change in the broader context of the group’s continuing global activities, reporting that Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki would continue as ENHYPEN after Heeseung’s departure from the team. ⁴ The same basic lineup information was repeated in later June comeback reporting, reinforcing that the August album is tied to the newly defined group format. ²

Soompi added that ENHYPEN are currently carrying out their 2026 world tour, ‘BLOOD SAGA,’ alongside preparations for the August comeback. ⁶ The source material does not provide additional dates, venues, or tour schedule details, so the tour is relevant only as background to the group’s current activity period.

ENHYPEN August 2026 comeback six-member lineup concept

The August 2026 release is therefore significant for two confirmed reasons: it ends the roughly seven-month gap after ‘THE SIN : VANISH,’ and it opens ENHYPEN’s album activity as a six-member group. Further details, including the album title, release date, format, and tracklist, remain unannounced in the available source material.
