ENHYPEN's 'Drunk-Dazed': Fans spot I-LAND contestants K and EJ in MV

Rookie K-pop boy group ENHYPEN released their second mini-album, "BORDER: CARNIVAL," on April 26, featuring the title track Drunk-Dazed and its music video. The EDM-influenced pop song features members of ENHYPEN in the carnival-inspired track that aims to showcase the new world the members are experiencing as K-pop artists.

Fans of the group got hooked on the song, but there is one small detail in the music video for Drunk-Dazed that has them clamoring for more details. Fans noted that I-LAND contestants K and EJ made cameos in the music video, wondering whether the artists would join HYBE artists such as BTS and TXT and make their debut soon.

When will K and EJ debut?

Japanese trainee K and South Korean trainee EJ were contestants on HYBE's (formerly Big Hit) reality survival show. While the I-LAND winners formed ENHYPEN, few other contestants were signed on to form a Japanese pop group.

K survived until the final episode of I-LAND, where he fell one place short of the debut ranking and could not debut with ENHYPEN. Meanwhile, EJ was eliminated in the second episode but could enter the titular I-LAND in the third episode. He was finally eliminated in the seventh episode.

The winning members of I-LAND formed ENHYPEN, which debuted in November 2020 with their first mini-album, Border: Day One.

K, EJ, Nicholas, Kyungmin, and Ta-Ki will be part of HYBE's "Japan Global Debut Project," with additional members set to join after the auditions held earlier this year in January.

The still-unnamed Japanese boy group is set to debut later this year, with K and EJ's ENHYPEN MV cameos having fans wondering whether their debuts might be sooner than expected.
