Who is Jake?

Jake is a member of ENHYPEN, the six-member group formed on Mnet’s I-LAND whose debut date BELIFT LAB’s official profile gives as 30 November 2020. At the media conference for the eighth mini album THE SIN : BLISS in Seoul on 20 August 2026 he greeted reporters by saying the group had come back with an album that is energetic, and he spoke about the moment the title track was first heard in public.

‘Bloody Paradise’ was performed at the Busan concerts on 8 and 9 August, on the domestic leg of the ‘BLOOD SAGA’ world tour, before the album was out. “It was a song that had not been released, and I was very surprised to see so many ENGENE singing along,” he said. “I am glad we could draw a lot of strength from that and meet the comeback.”

Brazilian funk was a new genre for him, as it was for most of the members, and he said the chance felt different and let the group show a new side. Asked about what comes next, he said there were still many places in the world the group had not reached: “As long as ENGENE are there, we want to go and perform any time. Performing in front of more and more ENGENE, on a bigger stage, is the goal.”
