ENHYPEN's Ni-ki shares experience on upcoming Coachella performance
ENHYPEN will make their Coachella debut in April 2025. In an ELLE Korea interview, the group shared their excitement, followed by a cover shoot celebrating their fifth year as artists.
“This is our first time at such a big festival, but I’m more excited than nervous. This is a precious opportunity to let people who don’t know us know about our music and introduce it to them, so we’re preparing hard. Please look forward to it," Ni-ki, the youngest member, shared his thoughts.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK Jennie is also returning to the Coachella stage this year. She first made history as the first Korean artist to headline Coachella in 2023 with her girl group. The Mantra and Solo hitmaker is scheduled to perform on April 13 and 20.
