ENHYPEN is all about trying new things.

With the release of their 7th Mini Album, The Sin : Vanish, the popular K-pop group – composed of members Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki – shares their new narrative style, skits, and sounds with the world.

“Our previous album was Desire : Unleash, and the very keyword within that overarching theme was desire,” Heeseung says over Zoom during a private listening party for their album. “We had many visual elements to showcase the keyword, ‘desire.’ This time, for The Sin: Vanish album, it explores how the vampire lovers decide to escape because they can no longer suppress their desire. So they would break the taboo and decide to escape together as vampire lovers.”

Since the group’s debut in 2020, they’ve developed a vampire mythology, with their stories told through their albums, webtoon, and music videos. It explores the themes of eternal life, power, love, temptation, desire, and now, sin.

This album’s concept now has the vampires (ENHYPEN) fleeing on a dangerous journey away from hunters, who want to destroy them and their love. Centering on their promotional campaign, Vampire Now, the digital news outlet for “vampires,” the album presents a series of escape episodes, each told through distinct chapters to form a cohesive narrative.

“From the planning stage, from the very beginning, we envisioned this to be a concept album incorporating a fictional Mystery Show,” Jungwon explains. “From the first narration track called ‘The Beginning’ to the final narration track called ‘The Beyond,’ it has one consistent storyline that goes from beginning to end.”

The album was produced in four different languages – Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese – to reach a global audience. Korean actor Park Jeong-min narrated the Korean version, while actor Kenjiro Tsuda provided the words in Japanese, and singer Lars Huang narrated the Chinese version.

Jungwon hopes that, with the multiple languages offered, it will gain significant empathy worldwide. He smiles, “It will be a fun experience.”

Four chapters have been released in total, and all titles are tracks on the album. Chapter 1: “No Way Back”: The Beginning of Escape used both animation and a scene in the caves to describe them giving in to their desire and breaking the taboo of turning their lover into a vampire. The group then plans their escape through the caves. Chapter 2: “Big Girls Don’t Cry”: Romance in Escape finds the group in the desert, being hunted, and forced to fight their attackers. The video plays snippets of “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Lost Island.” Chapter 3: “Stealer”: Rebellion in Escape finds the group in a mansion, stealing a powerful orb. They are then seen enjoying the outdoors together, still on the run from unknown forces, when they are attacked.

“The film shoot was really big in scale,” says Sunghoon. “For the ‘Stealer’ concept film and photos, they were shot in Florence, Italy. For ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry,’ we shot the photos and film in the [Los Angeles] desert. We put a lot of effort into these concept photos and films. We really wanted to show that we did this on a large scale. For the different films in the chapters, we wanted to showcase their cinematic quality and high production value. We put significant effort into this.”

The final chapter in the video series, Chapter 4: “Knife”: Danger of Escape, is the group’s lead single for the album. In this futuristic military scenario, the group faces tech-heavy opponents and must use their vampiric powers to fight. They worked closely with renowned photographer Jack Bridgland for the photo concept.

“I have actually been a fan of his and wanted to collaborate with him for a long time,” says Ni-ki. “So we had this great opportunity to collaborate with him for the shooting of the ‘Knife’ chapter. He [brought] the concept and the mood we wanted to showcase to life. His distinctive visual style and film perfectly fit into our concept. So we had a lot of fun working with him.”

The group carefully curated every track on the album, including the narration segments. The first track, “The Beginning,” was built on an energetic hip-hop beat and produced in part by Jake. He began working on the track after their last album promotion, following a conversation with one of their producers about future music. He drew inspiration for the music from the film Interview With The Devil, which included brief clips in the demo track, but not in the final version.

“We named it ‘The Beginning’ because it sets the mood for the whole album really well,” Jake explains. “You’ll feel how it shapes the image of this whole album.”

Their first song, “No Way Back,” which features So!YoON! Is an alternative R&B track with whisper-like vocals and an escalating emotional arc. Sunoo describes it as “having a mysterious vibe” and “notice this right away when you hear the song, but in the very beginning, there are various sound elements that allow you to really get immersed in the track.” He also notes that So!YoON’s vocals blend well with their voices.

After the next narrated piece, “The Fugitives,” the group introduced their lead single, “Knife,” a hip-hop track with a catchy chorus. Heeseung says the song will allow them to showcase a confident performance, revealing, “This song is built around an unyielding confidence that we can stand our ground against any kind of threat. We gratefully had the opportunity to collaborate with Dynamic Duo’s GAEKO, who contributed to the lyrics. Out of all the performances and songs that we have showcased, this will leave the strongest impression.”

Ni-ki, whose favorite track is “Knife,” believes this song best expresses who they are as a group. He shares, “We have been trying many different genres until now, and that included easy listening songs and more. When I think about ENHYPEN, I think we’re really good at writing very intense, impactful songs. So when people see us, this is a genre that we can really pull off a great performance, rap, and so much more.”

Jungwon’s favorite track is “Stealer,” an alternative dance-pop track that bursts with energy, driven by an exotic, Latin-inspired groove. He admits it’s a genre he’s been wanting to try.

“This track, ‘Stealer,’ actually fits perfectly into the theme of our album,” Jungwon says. “Our overarching theme is lovers’ escape. ‘Stealer’ reminds you of stealing away with your lover. Some of the risky lyrics actually bring out that vibe very nicely.”

“The Voice” and “Witnesses” are narrative pieces and skits that discuss the consequences of breaking the rules and the impact of the group’s decision.

With “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” an urban pop track filled with kick drums and groovy guitar rhythms, the group immediately fell in love with the demo when they received it. Ni-ki recalls his first time hearing it, “It actually captivated our ears. It has such a refined melody, and it sounds so great. And if you look at the concept film, it was shot in a desert, and we were dressed in a cowboy look. That look really went well with this particular track. The song is going to be a great performance as well. It’s going to give a feel that is quite different from the lead single.”

“Lost Island” is an energetic pop track filled with addictive synth riffs and sub-bass, which Sunghoon says, “captures a romantic moment between two lovers who remain fully absorbed in one another, even while on a dangerous escape.”

In the final song, “Sleep Tight,” Jake’s first self-composed track with Heeseung contributing to the lyrics, is a soft R&B track that explores the delicate balance between joy and anxiety. Like “The Beginning,” the song was something he was building on, but didn’t really plan. He just added to the music as he worked on it and eventually put it on the album.

“It expresses the mixed emotions you might feel – happiness, but also anxious at the same time,” Jake explains. “It’s that mixed feeling [or] that mixed emotion, and it’s talking about the feeling that you get after the escape. The album is about how we’re trying to escape from this place, but the song is [after escaping.] It’s talking about the emotions you feel. It’s a pretty easy listening track.”

The last narration, “The Beyond,” concludes the story, where the couple disappeared – hence, vanish. Jay hopes everyone will like it as they’re excited for the album release.

“We hope you all enjoy it,” says Jay. “For our title song, ‘Knife,’ we really had a [fun time] filming all the music videos, especially the action and stunt scenes.”

With all the new musical styles they explored on this album, Jay hopes to challenge themselves further on future albums. He would like to try funk, punk, or even country music.

“Maybe for our next album or next year, we would like to challenge ourselves with a lot more genres and music that people love or will love,” says Jay. “We are always open [when it comes to] music.”

Jake recalls the group’s time at Coachella in 2024, before they began working on The Sin: Vanish, when they discussed the music and genres they wanted to include in their albums. But for this album, their main focus was the message.

“This album is very well structured in terms of the story,” Jake says. “Everything is there for a reason. I hope fans looking at the album can really study it, not just the songs, but everything around the album. It’s very well made and has a deep meaning in a way.”

ENHYPEN’s The Sin : Vanish is out now on all streaming platforms. Physical albums are available through select retailers.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…

Unlocking Massive Value: Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Proposal for CRV Holders

Unlocking Massive Value: Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Proposal for CRV Holders

BitcoinWorld Unlocking Massive Value: Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Proposal for CRV Holders The dynamic world of decentralized finance (DeFi) is constantly evolving, bringing forth new opportunities and innovations. A significant development is currently unfolding at Curve Finance, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX). Its founder, Michael Egorov, has put forth an exciting proposal designed to offer a more direct path for token holders to earn revenue. This initiative, centered around a new Curve Finance revenue sharing model, aims to bolster the value for those actively participating in the protocol’s governance. What is the “Yield Basis” Proposal and How Does it Work? At the core of this forward-thinking initiative is a new protocol dubbed Yield Basis. Michael Egorov introduced this concept on the CurveDAO governance forum, outlining a mechanism to distribute sustainable profits directly to CRV holders. Specifically, it targets those who stake their CRV tokens to gain veCRV, which are essential for governance participation within the Curve ecosystem. Let’s break down the initial steps of this innovative proposal: crvUSD Issuance: Before the Yield Basis protocol goes live, $60 million in crvUSD will be issued. Strategic Fund Allocation: The funds generated from the sale of these crvUSD tokens will be strategically deployed into three distinct Bitcoin-based liquidity pools: WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC. Pool Capping: To ensure balanced risk and diversified exposure, each of these pools will be capped at $10 million. This carefully designed structure aims to establish a robust and consistent income stream, forming the bedrock of a sustainable Curve Finance revenue sharing mechanism. Why is This Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Significant for CRV Holders? This proposal marks a pivotal moment for CRV holders, particularly those dedicated to the long-term health and governance of Curve Finance. Historically, generating revenue for token holders in the DeFi space can often be complex. The Yield Basis proposal simplifies this by offering a more direct and transparent pathway to earnings. By staking CRV for veCRV, holders are not merely engaging in governance; they are now directly positioned to benefit from the protocol’s overall success. The significance of this development is multifaceted: Direct Profit Distribution: veCRV holders are set to receive a substantial share of the profits generated by the Yield Basis protocol. Incentivized Governance: This direct financial incentive encourages more users to stake their CRV, which in turn strengthens the protocol’s decentralized governance structure. Enhanced Value Proposition: The promise of sustainable revenue sharing could significantly boost the inherent value of holding and staking CRV tokens. Ultimately, this move underscores Curve Finance’s dedication to rewarding its committed community and ensuring the long-term vitality of its ecosystem through effective Curve Finance revenue sharing. Understanding the Mechanics: Profit Distribution and Ecosystem Support The distribution model for Yield Basis has been thoughtfully crafted to strike a balance between rewarding veCRV holders and supporting the wider Curve ecosystem. Under the terms of the proposal, a substantial portion of the value generated by Yield Basis will flow back to those who contribute to the protocol’s governance. Returns for veCRV Holders: A significant share, specifically between 35% and 65% of the value generated by Yield Basis, will be distributed to veCRV holders. This flexible range allows for dynamic adjustments based on market conditions and the protocol’s performance. Ecosystem Reserve: Crucially, 25% of the Yield Basis tokens will be reserved exclusively for the Curve ecosystem. This allocation can be utilized for various strategic purposes, such as funding ongoing development, issuing grants, or further incentivizing liquidity providers. This ensures the continuous growth and innovation of the platform. The proposal is currently undergoing a democratic vote on the CurveDAO governance forum, giving the community a direct voice in shaping the future of Curve Finance revenue sharing. The voting period is scheduled to conclude on September 24th. What’s Next for Curve Finance and CRV Holders? The proposed Yield Basis protocol represents a pioneering approach to sustainable revenue generation and community incentivization within the DeFi landscape. If approved by the community, this Curve Finance revenue sharing model has the potential to establish a new benchmark for how decentralized exchanges reward their most dedicated participants. It aims to foster a more robust and engaged community by directly linking governance participation with tangible financial benefits. This strategic move by Michael Egorov and the Curve Finance team highlights a strong commitment to innovation and strengthening the decentralized nature of the protocol. For CRV holders, a thorough understanding of this proposal is crucial for making informed decisions regarding their staking strategies and overall engagement with one of DeFi’s foundational platforms. FAQs about Curve Finance Revenue Sharing Q1: What is the main goal of the Yield Basis proposal? A1: The primary goal is to establish a more direct and sustainable way for CRV token holders who stake their tokens (receiving veCRV) to earn revenue from the Curve Finance protocol. Q2: How will funds be generated for the Yield Basis protocol? A2: Initially, $60 million in crvUSD will be issued and sold. The funds from this sale will then be allocated to three Bitcoin-based pools (WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC), with each pool capped at $10 million, to generate profits. Q3: Who benefits from the Yield Basis revenue sharing? A3: The proposal states that between 35% and 65% of the value generated by Yield Basis will be returned to veCRV holders, who are CRV stakers participating in governance. Q4: What is the purpose of the 25% reserve for the Curve ecosystem? A4: This 25% reserve of Yield Basis tokens is intended to support the broader Curve ecosystem, potentially funding development, grants, or other initiatives that contribute to the platform’s growth and sustainability. Q5: When is the vote on the Yield Basis proposal? A5: A vote on the proposal is currently underway on the CurveDAO governance forum and is scheduled to run until September 24th.
