Enhypen kicked off its highly anticipated third world tour, "Walk The Line," with two concerts at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi on Oct. 5 and 6. This marks a significant milestone for the band as it is their first concert at a 41,000-seat stadium in the country.

As a major event, the venue buzzed with activities for Engenes, the official name of Enhypen's fan club, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the experience even before the concert began. Highlights included a photo booth for Enhypen-themed photos, a pop-up store for "Dark Moon," the group’s webtoon series, an official merchandise booth, an Engene zone, a play-and-stay area and a booth where fans could print Enhypen-themed transportation cards.

The atmosphere was electric, with fans recording covers in front of a giant concert billboard and showcasing their unique styles with eye-catching outfits, giant photo cards and banners featuring the members' faces and names.
