We have finally arrived at our 4th Generation Idols series, starting with the 4th Gen fast-rising group, ENHYPEN. ENHYPEN is a 7-member group formed in a survival show, I-LAND. They debuted on November 30, 2020, their first EP, Border: Day One.

Sim Jaeyun, most famous as JAKE, is a full-blooded Korean raised in Australia. He was an intelligent kid who used to compete in math competitions before returning to Korea and participating in a survival show called I-LAND. He made up the final list, ranking 3rd out of all contestants and debuting as the Rapper and Vocalist of the group.
Moving on with his fashion style, he mostly has two types of aesthetics- the bad boy and dark aesthetic, and light and soft aesthetics. He mostly jumbles between these two depending on the look he feels wearing. The unique part of his fashion sense is his footwear. Out of all idols I know, he's the only one who loves wearing dress shoes- and it honestly suits him the best.

FOOTWEAR
Dress Shoes
When it comes to shoes, Jake has a different taste. He mostly likes wearing dress shoes- these shoes are perfect if you want to create an illusion of having long legs and additional height. They are pretty stylish and could go well with trousers.
