A Vocal Twist No One Saw Coming
ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon just pulled off a stunning transformation. On June 27, his label BELIFT LAB dropped a surprise cover video on the group’s official YouTube channel—and let’s just say, the vibes were immaculate. The track? ‘Odoriko’ by Japanese artist Vaundy, a streaming beast with over 300 million plays and triple platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
Moody Vocals Meet Visual Storytelling
Known more for ice-prince charm than emotional vulnerability, Sunghoon flipped the script with a rich, wistful vocal tone layered over a dreamy arrangement. While sticking to the original’s poetic mood, he delivered each word with emotional precision, adding his own texture to the widely-loved track.
But it wasn’t just about the vocals. Sunghoon helped shape the entire visual narrative—down to the camera angles and props. The concept? The contrast between night (reality) and day (a lucid dream). The editing cleverly emphasized the two worlds, with sweeping shots and hazy filters that made you feel like you’d stepped into an art-house short film.
Behind the Scenes: Every Detail Matters
Sunghoon didn’t just show up on set—he brought his own vintage film camera as a prop, adding an authentic retro vibe. From tone to texture, location to lighting, he was involved in nearly every staging decision. Talk about main character energy.
“It’s a song I enjoy on my own time,” he shared through BELIFT LAB. “But I thought it suited my voice, so I wanted to reinterpret it in my own style. I hope ENGENE [ENHYPEN’s fandom] can enjoy discovering a new side of me.”
He added, “If you watch while focusing on the emotional shift between night and day, I think it’ll make the experience even deeper.”
On Tour—and in Artistic Bloom
Currently on their ‘ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR ‘WALK THE LINE’’, the group will hit Singapore from October 3 to 5, before wrapping things up with encore shows at Seoul’s Olympic Park KSPO DOME on October 24 to 26. But this unexpected artistic side of Sunghoon? That’s a tour de force all on its own.
Whether you’re a hardcore ENGENE or a casual viewer, his ‘Odoriko’ cover feels like a breath of fresh, cinematic air—and a strong hint there’s more than meets the eye with this multitasking idol.
