ENHYPEN Completes Music Show Grand Slam With Fifth ‘Bloody Paradise’ Win

ENHYPEN closed a flawless week on Korean music programs by taking first place with Bloody Paradise on the August 30 episode of SBS’s Inkigayo. The result gave the group its fifth trophy for the song and completed a sweep of every music show that aired during the week.

The first-place nominees on Inkigayo were ATEEZ’s BAD, ENHYPEN’s Bloody Paradise and RESCENE’s LOVE ATTACK. ENHYPEN finished at the top with 4,815 points, adding Sunday’s victory to four wins collected on consecutive programs earlier in the week.

Five programs, five trophies

The run began on Wednesday with Show Champion. ENHYPEN then won on M Countdown, Music Bank and Music Core before completing the sequence on Inkigayo. Winning across all five broadcasts is commonly described as a music show grand slam because it covers the full weekly circuit that was on air.

Each program uses its own scoring structure and broadcast format, so a complete sweep reflects support across several stages rather than a single result repeated under identical conditions. The five trophies place Bloody Paradise at the center of the week’s televised K-pop competition and give ENHYPEN a clear promotional milestone. The sequence is easy to track because every broadcast added one more trophy, allowing the scale of the achievement to grow visibly from Wednesday through Sunday.

The Sunday broadcast included the group’s performance, the announcement of the winner and an encore. That sequence allowed viewers to see both the prepared stage and the immediate celebration after the result. A full unaired encore was also made available, extending the moment beyond the portion shown during the original broadcast.

A competitive final stage

The final trophy was decided against two active releases with different performers and fan bases. ATEEZ entered the top-three contest with BAD, while RESCENE was nominated with LOVE ATTACK. ENHYPEN’s 4,815-point total secured the win and prevented the week-long streak from ending at the last program.

Completing the sweep on a Sunday gave the campaign a simple narrative arc. The first win established early momentum, the middle trophies sustained it across the major weekday broadcasts, and Inkigayo supplied the conclusion. Rather than depending on one standout day, Bloody Paradise remained competitive throughout the entire schedule. The final result therefore confirmed a pattern that had developed across five days instead of creating an isolated peak.

The achievement is also tied closely to performance promotion. Music shows require artists to return with repeated live-broadcast stages, often adjusting styling, camera work and presentation while keeping the song recognizable. Five victories during one cycle reward both the release’s chart and audience performance and the visibility generated by that sustained broadcast presence.

Inkigayo’s wider lineup

The August 30 episode placed the winning track within a broad lineup. NCT 127 performed BLINGY, while ALPHA DRIVE ONE presented Diamond Hour and BORN DIRE. NEXZ performed APPETITE and SAUCIN’, and Hearts2Hearts returned with 15-LOVE. The multiple two-song stages also gave several performers more space than a single-track appearance, making the broadcast a substantial showcase beyond the first-place race.

The broadcast also featured TUIDE, SF9, KiiiKiii, TNX, AEN, iii, OURBIRTHDAY, ALL(H)OURS, TEMPEST’s Hanbin, ONEWE and MW:MEU. Their stages ranged from group comebacks to a solo performance, giving the program a cross-section of artists at different points in their careers and promotional schedules.

For ENHYPEN, however, the defining moment was the fifth consecutive trophy. Beginning with Show Champion and ending with Inkigayo, the group converted every available music show appearance that week into a win. The grand slam gives Bloody Paradise a measurable broadcast achievement and brings the song’s most successful promotional week to a decisive close.
