"Handsome Faces, Inches Away": ENHYPEN's VR Concert Keeps Fans Coming Back

K-pop group ENHYPEN's second VR concert, "ENHYPEN VR CONCERT : DESTINY" (hereafter "DESTINY"), is drawing enthusiastic responses from audiences by making them feel as though the members are right in front of them.

Released in South Korea on Sept. 18, "DESTINY" is a cinematic VR concert that weaves forbidden love, escape and recurring fate into the group's vampire concept. It features an artist-selection branching system that allows viewers to choose their destined partner in the story, with the narrative unfolding differently depending on their choice.

Since its release, viewers have shared reviews, artwork and other content inspired by the concert on social media. They have particularly highlighted scenes in which the members appear to come right up to them. Comments included, "I couldn't handle the onslaught of ENHYPEN's good looks," "It feels like a 4K fancam turned into 3D and put right before my eyes," and "An experience where handsome guys look only at me from inches away."

Some viewers said they returned to watch different members' versions. "I went to see the VR concert again, and I still want to keep watching it," one wrote, while another said, "I want to see all the members, so I'd honestly love to watch it ten times or more." Another viewer commented, "I'm not a fan, but I watched it out of curiosity and ended up wanting to see it again."

ENHYPEN's second VR concert, "DESTINY," will continue screening in South Korea through Nov. 8.
