Jake of ENHYPEN surprised everyone with his vocals during their performance of Moonstruck at Coachella Weekend 2.
On April 19, ENHYPEN took the stage for the second time at the festival. Among all the members, Jake’s verse during the song caught fans’ attention. Since the performance, clips of the moment have been trending, with netizens calling it “one for the books.”
Trending
Interestingly, the song wasn’t originally part of the group’s setlist; Jake reportedly pushed to include it. Fans even compared the Week 1 and Week 2 performances to highlight the difference.
Reactions on social media have been heartfelt, with fans openly praising the star:
“We owe him for making sure ‘Moonstruck’ had its Coachella moment. A visionary.” A fan remarked.
“coachella jake moonstruck, you will always be iconic” A fan exclaimed.
Some fans wrote longer comments expressing their feelings:
“The way he delivered the song, with his voice and emotions, made everything feel so special. every note he sang truly touched the heart, and you could feel how he gave his all on stage,” said one fan.
“I love how he is trending in both weeks of their coachella performance because of his vocals in moonstruck, the song he insisted to be put in the setlist for coachella and now moonstruck even is called “jake’s song,” another fan wrote.
“He knew the impact it was gonna make, he was a genius!" another fan remarked.
ENHYPEN's Jake's decision to include Moonstruck in the Coachella setlist earns praise
ENHYPEN recently became only the third K-pop boy group to perform at the esteemed Coachella festival, following in the footsteps of EPIK HIGH and ATEEZ. Even on the first weekend, the group went viral across social media for their performances and visuals.
Heeseung caught fans' attention as the “red-haired guy,” Jungwon as the “blonde guy,” and Ni-ki as the “silver-haired guy.” Many local American viewers, unfamiliar with the group, began gushing over them and celebrating their appearance.
Now, during the second weekend, member Jake is trending, this time for his vocal talent. Moonstruck, a track from their album ROMANCE: UNTOLD (released in July 2024), was the highlight of the performance.
The song itself is a creative blend of ideas. Moonstruck can be interpreted as being awestruck by someone, while also seemingly evoking the beauty of the moon. It quickly became a fan favorite on the album, and ENHYPEN did it justice by performing it live at Coachella.
Fans, especially ENGENEs, were thrilled to see Jake’s vocals being recognized. Many praised the way he poured emotion into every note.
ENHYPEN has undeniably made its mark on the Coachella stage. After their Week 1 performance, their set became the third most-watched Coachella performance on YouTube in the festival’s history.
Considering Coachella’s rich legacy and the range of artists who’ve graced its stages, this is an impressive achievement.
ENHYPEN is set to return with a new mini-album, DESIRE: UNLEASH, on June 5, 2025.
