Jungwon — Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

As the leader of ENHYPEN, it’s important that Jungwon is reflective, which makes this novel an essential read for his fans.

Heeseung — Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson

This short but sweet novella is perfect for fans of Heeseung. If he’s your bias, it’s likely because of his beautiful vocals that are soothing to the soul. Azumah Nelson’s lyrical prose will keep you hooked, similarly to how Heeseung has amassed fans with his honey-like voice. Follow this tragic love story between a dancer and a photographer that exudes passion. Just like our ace, author Azumah Nelson and his work are full of creativity.

Jay — The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald 

The glitz and the glamour of The Great Gatsby match Jay perfectly. Gatsby’s life seems perfect with his beautiful mansion and expensive lifestyle. However, not all that glitters is gold. While on the surface Jay has the perfect life and is always put together, in reality, Jay had to work extremely hard to debut in ENHYPEN, just like Gatsby had to prove himself to his old love, Daisy. The twists and turns of this classic novel will keep Jay’s fans hooked and remind them that there’s more to people than meets the eye.

Jake — The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Jake’s bubbly personality is incredibly infectious. However, there’s more to our puppy-like Aussie. The way Jake acts with his members showcases his emotional understanding. While The Midnight Library begins on a very low note, the book teaches its readers about the importance of finding happiness in the darkest of moments. Fans of Jake will fall in love with the magical library that Haig has created, while also learning a valuable lesson that their bias would no doubt champion.

Sunghoon — Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

A recommendation for fans of our Ice Prince had to involve winter in some way. Alcott’s classic is filled with Christmas joy and wintry spirit. The novel follows the ups and downs of the March sisters as they navigate the complexities of life. Family is at the centre of the book, just in the way that Sunghoon’s members are so important to him. If Sunghoon was one of the March sisters, he would definitely be Jo!

Ni-ki — Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung

In spite of being the youngest of the group, it is known that Ni-ki loves horror. Compared to his easily frightened older members, Ni-ki frequently enjoys watching scary movies and playing pranks on the group. Cursed Bunny, a collection of short stories, is filled with magical realism and absolutely terrifying horrors. If his fans are anything like him, they will love the overly descriptive stories and stomach-churning details that Chung writes with.
