With its six-track discography, this ENHYPEN special album is going to make you scream.
ENHYPEN returns with a special album called Memorabilia for their official webtoon. Dark Moon: The Blood Altar was written and illustrated by well-known webtoon artists Rangddo and Henie.
On April 20, the seven-member South Korean group ENHYPEN revealed their Dark Moon Special Album, Memorabilia, via X post.
Members of the group are portrayed as vampires and werewolves. The narrative centers on a series of music videos that BELIFT Lab produced. This special album will contain the series’ original soundtrack (OST).
ENHYPEN said, “Memorabilia is like the musical embodiment of the ‘Dark Moon’ series and ENHYPEN’s narrative. The album’s genre-spanning tracks masterfully portray the diverse emotions and stories from the webtoon, adding depth and significance to the connection between ENHYPEN and the seven vampire boys.”
Additionally, Memorabilia presents ENHYPEN’s first unit tracks. The songs “Lucifer,” which features Jay, Jake, and Sunghoon, and “Teeth,” which features Jungwon, Heeseung, Sunoo, and Ni-Ki.
This will be ENHYPEN’s first music release of the year 2024. It follows the title track, “Sweet Venom,” from their November 2023 mini-album, “Orange Blood.”

ENHYPEN Memorabilia Tracklist
One In A Billion
It was first available as the webtoon’s original soundtrack on September 6, 2022. The eternal tie between two souls is the song’s primary concept. Along with mentioning waiting since past lives and wandering through forgotten memories, the lyrics also allude to a love that defies time and lifetimes, indicating a belief in reincarnation or past lives.
The line from the chorus “It’s destiny, yeah (one in a billion)” conveys the idea that the person you are meant to be with is someone you were intended to be with. Moreover, this song was written by Alex Koste, danke, Jacob Attwooll, and Thomas Daniel Bracciale, with an arrangement by Jacob Attwooll.
CRIMINAL LOVE
The lyrics, “Oh, you say, “Good night, meet me next life.” But where are you now?” highlights the desire and yearning for a future in which they will meet the person they love in the afterlife. Nevertheless, regrettably, it doesn’t happen.
You will undoubtedly love every inch of this song if you have already listened to or seen some of the performances. Before the announcement of this special album, this song was already released last July 31, 2023. Written by Anton Eriksson, danke, Eun Jeong Kang, FERNSTREAM, Inhyeong Kim, Joseph Feinstein, and Yiji Yi with arrangements made by FERNSTREAM.
Fatal Trouble
The vocals are vocalizing! highlighting everyone’s voice. Definitely one of the best title tracks of them, Heeseung, Jay, and Sunoo’s vocals were so good that we couldn’t stop listening to it.
Fatal Trouble strikes a deep chord with listeners because its lyrics portray the uncertainty and suffering of memory loss. ENGENEs are enthralled with ENHYPEN’s talents and artistry once more as they showcase this song’s beautiful melody and mesmerizing visuals.
Teeth
They don’t typically sing this kind of music, yet it fits them perfectly. This song has a phonk sound, and this unit—Jungwon, Heeseung, Sunoo, and Ni-Ki—has incredibly talented voices that change with the song. The lyrics “Let’s play together You make me so thirsty. Feel the bite between my jaw, so tasty” emphasize their alluring voice.
Written by danke, Frants, HYBE, JADE.J, January 8th, JAY NOAH, Jieun Jeon, SHINKUNG, Tim Tan, Yijin Yi, and Yunkyoung Cho. Also, produced by Frants, SHINKUNG, and JAY NOAH.
Lucifer
Every time you hear “Lucifer”, he gets bigger and better, and it’s a really interesting song. The members of 02z (2002 liner) unit, Jay, Jake, and Sunghoon, are back with another “Chaconne”-style song, and they fully deliver.
This song may have an upbeat melody, but below are unbearably painful lyrics—like a villain giving their everything for you. “I don’t feel the pain, no. I only feel the cold. I’m a Lucifer” is a song that exudes an extreme amount of angst.
Scream
A total banger! A good choice to end the album. The upbeat sounds of this tune will definitely get you moving and dancing. In this song, they repeatedly live new lives, travel through time to get to the girl, and conceal their vampire identity among people.
The writers of “Scream” are Yijin Yi, Josh McClelland, Ryan Lawrie, HYBE, Inhyeong Kim, Danke, and Alex Hauer. The producer is Alex Hauer.
