The Rise of “Helium”: A B-Side With Main Track Power
ENHYPEN Helium has officially taken center stage with a stunning new live performance from Vevo Studios. The track, originally a fan-favorite B-side from their 2025 EP DESIRE : UNLEASH, now shines brighter than ever in an intimate, vocal-driven showcase that strips away distractions and spotlights the group’s raw musicality.
The meaning? A metaphor for the euphoric headrush of falling in love, comparing it to the buoyant high of inhaling helium. Both playful and poetic, it’s a refreshing twist from a group known for tackling themes of identity and transformation.

And now, with its cinematic, vocal-driven live version from Vevo Studios, “Helium” isn’t just riding the wave — it’s making one.

JAY’s Artistic Leadership: From Studio to Spotlight
What sets “Helium” apart most profoundly is its personal connection to member JAY — the Seattle-born vocalist and guitarist who co-wrote and co-produced the song. His influence is palpable in every second of the track, from the jagged yet melodic guitar work to the lyrical vulnerability that characterizes ENHYPEN’s most mature offerings yet.

His collaboration with veteran K-pop producer FRANTS (known for Sunmi’s “Gashina” and ENHYPEN’s “Blessed-Cursed”) created a hybrid sound — gritty pop meets rock ballad — that few in the genre are exploring right now. This is ENHYPEN’s own lane, and JAY is paving it.
“This was the most personal I’ve ever felt making a track. ‘Helium’ is truly ours.” – JAY, in Vevo behind-the-scenes interview
Inside Vevo Studios: Live Performance with Cinematic Heart
The Live from Vevo Studios session strips away the filters of choreography and complex staging to reveal something much more rare: ENHYPEN as vocalists, musicians, and expressive artists.
Each member stands at a mic — stationary, exposed, intentional. The performance is shot in rich studio lighting with high-fidelity audio. JAY leads with guitar in hand, as HEESEUNG, JUNGWON, SUNGHOON, NI-KI, JAKE, and SUNOO trade off verses and harmonize during the chorus.
🗣 “You feel every lyric — like you’re breathing in helium too.” — fan comment on YouTube
Cynthia Todd, Senior Manager of Talent Booking at Vevo, stated in Forbes (external):
“Helium felt extra special to capture because of JAY’s involvement in producing the song. It truly highlights ENHYPEN’s sound and overall concept as a band.”
Fan Reactions and K-Pop Media Buzz
K-pop communities — from TheQoo to Stan Twitter and Reddit’s r/kpop** — have hailed the Vevo version of “Helium” as one of the group’s most emotionally effective live showcases to date.
- “Jay’s guitar? HEESEUNG’s falsetto? This is NOT a B-side anymore.”
- “They just gave us a Grammy performance from a studio shoot.”
- “Vevo x ENHYPEN is what the industry needed.”
According to AllKPop and Koreaboo (outbound sources), “Helium” is trending alongside “Loose,” and fans are demanding more stripped-down performances from the group moving forward.
“Helium” vs. “Loose”: Two Sides of ENHYPEN’s Identity
Where “Helium” is tender, acoustic, and introspective, “Loose” — their new English single — explodes with choreographic energy and polished swagger. Both were recorded in the Vevo Studios series, and the duality showcases ENHYPEN’s evolving range.
- “Helium” = vulnerability, artistry, maturity
- “Loose” = confidence, energy, stage presence
These tracks act as a thesis statement for DESIRE : UNLEASH, defining the emotional poles that ENHYPEN are ready to occupy.
Tour Preparation: WALK THE LINE Takes Off
The Vevo sessions land right before the launch of their WALK THE LINE world tour, where fans can expect to see a mix of B-sides, new singles, and global favorites performed live.

The Bigger Picture: ENHYPEN’s Role in Global K-Pop Evolution
With the ENHYPEN Helium performance, the group isn’t just promoting an EP. They’re establishing themselves in a lineage of K-pop acts who demand to be taken seriously not just as idols — but as artists, producers, musicians.
In the same way BTS redefined stadiums, and Stray Kids are redefining production autonomy, ENHYPEN are redefining the power of a B-side. Their international impact is only growing, and performances like this prove why.
