Future PerfectENHYPEN
ENHYPEN is a group with enduring popularity thanks to their music that emphasizes storytelling and worldbuilding.
The group’s name is pronounced “En-hai-pun.” Their track “Future Perfect” is renowned as one of their signature songs and was released in 2022.
It highlights hip-hop elements, particularly drawing from drill music, so the low end stands out; however, there are surprisingly few low parts, and the overall arrangement leans toward higher registers.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, so with key adjustments it should be singable without issue.
You can sing the hook in a mixed voice as in the original, but delivering the vocals more roughly with some shouts is also recommended.

This exhilarating, razor-sharp beat isn’t just the work of the usual rap-focused members; vocalists like Jungkook, Jin, Jimin, and V also took an active role in the production.
