The announcement
The comeback was announced on Oct 26, 2026, through ENHYPEN’s official Weverse community, according to Starnews Korea. Soompi reports that BELIFT LAB made the announcement at midnight KST that day. Starnews describes it as the group’s third comeback of the year. The title is THE SIN : PARALLEL WORLD, and both outlets describe it as a spinoff single, released as a digital track and as a physical album.

Soompi gives the digital release as Nov 20 at 2 p.m. KST and the physical release as Nov 23 without a time. Starnews gives the same dates and adds 12 p.m. for the physical album, without naming a time zone. Both outlets agree on the two dates. The weekdays above come from a calendar calculation, not from the articles.
Soompi mentions a single CD that is available only in the United States and also refers to a physical album, while Starnews lists a physical album with no region limit. The exact versions on sale are best read on the official store page where you plan to order.
The story behind the single
Starnews describes the single as the concluding side story of the THE SIN series, which has an original vampire concept. The story follows a couple who realize that being together is a blessing and who confirm their destined relationship in another, parallel world. Soompi gives a similar summary: a tale about you and me, set in a parallel world, in which being together is seen as a blessing.
Where the group stands before the release
The previous album, THE SIN : BLISS, topped the Billboard 200 and made ENHYPEN a five-time double million seller, according to Starnews. Its title track, Bloody Paradise, took a grand slam on music shows for the first time since the group’s debut. The same article notes performances at the CAMPO MARTE festival, connected to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, and says the group is approaching the sixth anniversary of its debut.
