According to Belief Lab on the 23rd, ENHYPEN met with Director-General Tedros at the HYBE headquarters in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, the previous day to share the results of their global blood donation campaign and discuss future activities. This meeting was arranged in recognition of ENHYPEN’s ongoing efforts to promote blood donation, and officials from the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korean Red Cross Blood Management Headquarters also attended.
ENHYPEN’s blood donation campaign began last January with the release of their 7th mini-album, *THE SIN: VANISH*. At the time, drawing inspiration from the “vampire” concept—a central theme in the group’s narrative—they launched a joint campaign with the Korean Red Cross. They deployed blood donation buses to key locations where fans gather and held online events for participants nationwide.
As a result, a total of 7,730 people (January 16–25, 2026) participated in blood donations both online and offline. Among them, 1,031 were first-time donors, marking an approximately 19-fold increase compared to the period before the campaign. The campaign expanded to Japan and Singapore, recording a cumulative total of approximately 10,000 participants.
Last June, they partnered with the WHO to expand their activities globally. To mark “World Blood Donor Day 2026,” ENHYPEN released content highlighting the importance of securing safe blood supplies, and the members themselves donated blood to encourage their fans to join in.
Director-General Tedros said, “Blood is a gift of life that anyone can give to another person. I am proud of every member of ENHYPEN for their dedication and collaboration with the WHO to promote blood donation and save lives.” He continued, “The previous campaign was a huge success, reaching millions of people,” adding, “ENHYPEN and ENGENE (their fan club) have the true power to make an impact on the world. I’m a fan of yours, too.”
The ENHYPEN members responded, “We started this campaign hoping that those who support us would join us, and we are grateful that ENGENE members from all over the world have participated. We want to continue creating meaningful change together with our fans.”
Kim Tae-ho, CEO of Belief Lab, stated, “ENHYPEN are artists with a strong determination to change the world for the better,” and added, “We will continue to work together to explore what we can do to create a better world.”
