ENGIRLS, also known as ENHYPEN GIRLS (엔하이픈 소녀들), is a fictional sub-unit of the ten-member co-ed group, ENHYPEN, which was formed through the survival show, I-LAND. The unit consists of the three female members of the group: Aiko, Blake, and Ruruka. They debuted on November 30th, 2020, with the song, 'Really Bad Boy,' as a part of ENHYPEN's debut EP, 'BORDER: DAY ONE.'
Despite their victory on I-LAND, ENGIRLS had a challenging debut because they were the only three girls out of the twenty-four female contestants to make it to the debuting team. Many fans, international and domestic, accused MNET of voting manipulation or stated that they should have debuted an all-boy group by choosing three other male contestants to take their place. This only increased when their debut EP was released, and they were introduced as a sub-unit, with both the girls and the boys having their own unit songs.
Regardless, ENHYPEN went on to have a successful debut and remain one of the top artists of their generation.
MEMBERS PROFILE
Kobayashi Aiko was born on January 17, 2002, in New York City, New York, to a businessman father and a stay-at-home mother. She is the second eldest of four children and the only one of her siblings pursing a music career. From a young age, she has loved music and can play different instruments, including the piano, violin, guitar, and drums.
Later, when she was five, Aiko and her family moved to Osaka, Japan, due to her father’s job relocation. While in Osaka, Aiko continued to pursue music, picking up vocal lessons and later being scouted by SM Entertainment in 2014. Despite her parent’s disapproval, she went on to train under SM for four years, becoming an SMROOKIE and later participating in the survival show Produce 48. She was eliminated in episode 5 of the show and continued to train at SM until leaving at the end of 2018 to join BigHit Music.
After that, she had a fight with her parents, who wanted her to come home to continue her education, but Aiko stood firm and begged for another chance to prove herself. She later joined I-LAND and made it to the debuting team.

Blake Akiyama was born on December 18, 2002, in Houston, Texas, to a surgeon father and model mother. She is an only child because her mother had complications after Blake was born, which led to her being doted on by her family as the only female granddaughter. Despite this, Blake is a very humble girl because her grandmother, her father’s mother, taught her the importance of hard work and appreciation for those around her.
Blake has taken dance classes since she was four and excels in many different genres. She has a deep passion for dancing and has won many awards for local competitions. Her dance teacher at the time had nothing but praise for her and has stated that Blake is one of the best pupils she’s had the honor to teach.
Blake’s parents later divorced when she was eight, and her father received full custody of her because her mother wished to pursue her modeling career. Since then, her mother has been in and out of her life. At fourteen, Blake was scouted as a model and took on some gigs despite her father not wanting her to. Still, he allowed her in order to make her happy. Blake later stopped due to the mental and physical toll it took on her.
She was scouted online due to a dance cover she posted on her Instagram and joined SOURCE Music in 2018 until she joined I-LAND and debuted into ENHYPEN.

Nishimura Ruruka was born on December 9, 2005, in Okayama, Japan. She is the twin sister of Nishimura Riki, also known as Ni-ki, and has two other sisters. Like her family, Ruruka has a passion for dancing and has been dancing alongside her siblings for as long as she can remember.
Ruruka has taken gymnastics classes since she was four, alongside dance classes, and originally wanted to pursue an athletic career. However, when she and Riki were eleven, they joined the group SHINeeKIDS and performed with SHINee for many stages. Through that, she learned that she loved to perform in front of a crowd and wanted to become an artist like SHINee. When she and Riki left SHINeeKIDS, Ruruka picked up vocal classes.
Between the time of her departure from SHINeeKIDS and her auditioning for BELIFT, Ruruka did some modeling gigs and was the backup dancer for other artists. Later, both Ruruka and Riki decided to audition for BELIFT and joined I-LAND, both succeeding and joining ENHYPEN.

[Street Gacha] Chapter 7
Written by 木野誠太郎
Runa: Good luck to the five abandoned cats on their departure! ♪
Mizuki: Good luck☆
Suzu: But why are you toasting at a curry restaurant? And for some reason, you're drinking lassi...?
Mizuki: Hmm. Maybe I should have had chai instead of lassi?
Suzu: No, that's not what I meant. I think normally the launch would be held at a family restaurant or something, but here...
Runa: Even if you say that, all the family restaurants on weekends are crowded, so I had no choice.
Also, this curry restaurant is a hidden gem, so if you're planning on going to Bunmukae, try their curry first. ♪
Ruka: Ha~h. So this is what lassi tastes like. It's sweet and delicious... Sweet things are the best for a tired body.
Hayate: Well done. How was the street live?
Ruka: Ah, right... I was surprised at how many people came... I was really nervous, so I don't want to do it again anytime soon.
Hayate: Eh~? You have a pretty cute voice, so I think it's a waste.~
Ruka: No, even if you flatter me, I won't let you ride next time!
Hayate: Damn. You're learning. I guess it'll be a while before we see the next stage.
Runa: Hyahya. ♪ If you want to go to Ripe again, why don't you ask us? I'm willing to take it depending on the price!
Ruka: Hey, don't make money out of me...!
By the way, Suzu-senpai, you said earlier that you didn't have any money, but was it okay for you to come to the after-party?
Suzu: Ah, that's it. I have a guess.
I learned from talking to Hiiragi-san earlier that both she and the twins were taking care of abandoned cats and had run out of money.
Me and Ruka have also run out of money due to today's expenses.
Kukuku. But what if Yogiri-san, who has financial means, is the one to judge?
Ruka: I see! As expected of Suzu-senpai, she thought that far before participating in the launch party. ♪
Hayate: No no! I didn't say I'd judge it or anything! I'm bothered by people trying to act cool by saying "I wonder...?"
Runa: Don't say that! If you're an "ally of justice'', why don't you help us in trouble?
Maybe I'll get arrested for eating and drinking without paying. Can you turn your schoolmates into criminals?
Mizuki: That's right! I think abandoning the well-intentioned people who took care of abandoned cats is a disqualification from being an "ally of justice''~ ♪
Hayate: Hey-! You guys are so troublesome!
Sigh... But this time, I also suspected Hiiragi and the others... So I'll settle things for now.
However, only one item per person. If you go too far, you will be turned away without mercy, so be prepared!
Suzu: Ah. That is what it means to be an "ally of justice." A righteous and compassionate woman, a wonderful act...☆ Waiter, can I have one of these "Army, Navy and Air Force Curry" please?
Ruka: I also want the same thing as Suzu-senpai~ ♪
Runa: Well then, there are two of us~☆
Mizuki: Two of the same as everyone, please~ ♪ Oh, I'd be happy if you could put one in a take-out container.
Hayate: Hey guys! You even got one dish for each person!
Runa: What do you mean, "ally of justice"? Yogiri is stingy.
Mizuki: Stingy~.
Hayate: ...Oh man. It's hard to be an "ally of justice" when there are so many quirky people out there.
Well, it was a lively and fun day, and there were no crimes... so maybe this was a good thing.
Waiter, I'll have the same one! Thank you very much☆
