ENHYPEN's mini-album 'DESIRE : UNLEASH' recorded the second highest first-week sales (the number of albums sold within the week after release) among K-pop albums released this year.
According to the Hanteo Chart on the 12th, ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunwoo, Niki) sold a total of 2,145,499 copies of 'DESIRE : UNLEASH' during its first week of release (the aggregation period from June 5 to 11).
With this, ENHYPEN has once again proven to be a globally top-tier group. This year, there are only two artists, including ENHYPEN, who have achieved 'double million-seller' status in the first week.
ENHYPEN demonstrated remarkable momentum through 'DESIRE : UNLEASH.' The album sold over 1.89 million copies on the release day, breaking the team's record for the highest first-day sales. It then secured the number one spot on the Hanteo daily chart for four consecutive days (from June 5 to 8).
'DESIRE : UNLEASH' also achieved a career high on major charts in Japan. It topped the latest Oricon's 'weekly combined album ranking' (for the week of June 16, aggregated from June 2 to 8), 'weekly album ranking', and 'weekly digital album ranking.' On the Billboard Japan chart announced the day before (for the week of June 11, aggregated from June 2 to 8), it reached number one in 'Top Album Sales.'
The album's title track 'Bad Desire (With or Without You)' is also performing well. It entered 72nd place on Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs Global,' the world's largest music streaming platform, and is continuing to rise. Earlier, the song topped the Bugs real-time chart and Japan's AWA 'real-time music top 100.'
The performance of 'Bad Desire (With or Without You)' is also gaining popularity. It has been noted that ENHYPEN's urban and sexy vibe stands out. Their stage showcases solid live performance skills alongside intense choreography, providing an overwhelming sense of immersion. Today (12th), ENHYPEN's stage can be seen on Mnet's 'M Countdown.'
