Enhypen Official Character Enchin Pop-up in Malaysia
Malaysian ENGENEs, it’s time to take out your wallet and spend your adult money on adorable merch of K-pop group ENHYPEN’s cute little characters. The official character pop-up will open at 1 Utama Shopping Centre from 27th June to 19th July 2026.
Here’s what you need to know about the pop-up:
What is Enchin?
ENCHIN is a combination of ENHYPEN’s fandom name, ENGENE, and the Korean word CHINGU, which means friend. They are characters created by the group’s members to represent a friend who brings comfort and luck to their fans, and only recently launched this year in May.

The characters are as follows, representing each member in ENHYPEN:
- WONCHU by Jongwon: a cheese cat
- NoxStar by Jay: a black cat
- JAKEY by Jake: a dog with a hat
- SnoWe by Sunghoon: a white dog
- KISHU by Sunoo: a pink-and-white fox
- PU-NI by NI-KI: a puma and duck hybrid
All of the ENHYPEN members had a hand in creating the concept for these adorable characters. They even included a special ability for each character to represent their identity.
To hard launch the characters, a pop-up store for ENCHIN is making its way around the globe, kicking off in Seoul before it opens in 10 cities in June and July. In Malaysia, the pop-up opens at 1 Utama Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya from 27th June to 19th July.
