ENHYPEN’s THE SIN series has an ending date. BELIFT LAB announced on October 26 that the group will release THE SIN : PARALLEL WORLD, a spinoff single that “brings ‘THE SIN’ series to a close.” The single has two release dates, one for digital and one for the physical album, so it’s worth reading the schedule carefully.
What’s confirmed
- What it is: a spinoff single that closes THE SIN series. BELIFT LAB release notice
- Pre-orders: open from 11 a.m. KST on Monday, October 26 until 11:59 p.m. KST on Sunday, November 22. BELIFT LAB pre-order notice
- Digital track and Single CD (US only): 2 p.m. KST, Friday, November 20.
- Album: 12 p.m. KST, Monday, November 23.
- Versions: three.
The story: “you,” “me” and a parallel world
BELIFT LAB gives the single a short summary. It tells the story of “you” and “me,” who have “come to realize that simply being together is a ‘blessing,’” and it affirms “our destined connection in a parallel world.”
That wording looks back at the earlier chapters of the series. The label says further album details will come in a separate notice on ENHYPEN’s Weverse.
Our take: The word “blessing” is a clear nod to the previous release, THE SIN : BLISS. The title suggests that this closing chapter takes place somewhere outside the main storyline, which fits a spinoff.
Two dates, two formats
This is the part international fans are most likely to mix up. BELIFT LAB says plainly that “the digital release and physical album release are scheduled for different dates.”
| Format | Release (KST) |
|---|---|
| Digital track; Single CD (US only) | Friday, November 20, 2 p.m. |
| Album | Monday, November 23, 12 p.m. |
If you’re in the US and want the Single CD, it shares the November 20 date with the digital release. The full physical album follows three days later. Pre-orders for the album close the night before it comes out.
What’s in the album
The pre-order notice lists three versions and the contents of each, including:
- Photobook: 64 pages, one type per version
- CD: one per version
- Photocards: two random cards per version, A and B, each one of six types
- Postcards: a set of six per version
- Poster: one per version
- Lyric sheet: one
The notice names seven pre-order retailers: Weverse Shop, Aladin, MUSICART, SOUNDWAVE, MAKESTAR, Blue Dream Media and M2U RECORD, each offering random or set options.
THE SIN so far
PARALLEL WORLD is the third release under the THE SIN name in 2026, and the official HYBE LABELS channel has the story so far.
- THE SIN : VANISH came out on January 16, 2026, with 11 tracks. Before it, the channel posted a chapter film called No Way Back.
- THE SIN : BLISS followed on August 21, 2026, with six tracks, led by Bloody Paradise.
If you’re catching up before November, start with the VANISH chapter film. It sets up the series that PARALLEL WORLD now closes.
