ENHYPEN
It’s based on the word “hyphen”. A hyphen is a punctuation symbol (represented as “-“) used to connect two words together. Just like hyphens connect words to discover a new meaning, the ENHYPEN members will “connect, discover each other, and grow together”.
The prefix “en-“ is often added to nouns to mean “in” or “within”. The word “endanger”, for example, means to put something in danger. So, it’s possible that ENHYPEN could also carry the meaning of putting fans in a state of hype with great music and content.
