BABYMONSTER Achieves ‘Half Million Seller’ Status with Debut Album
Rookie K-pop sensation BABYMONSTER has achieved a remarkable milestone with their official debut album, ‘BABYMONS7ER’. According to Hanteo Chart, as of May 24th, the group’s first mini-album has recorded cumulative sales of 524,925 copies since its release on April 1st.
This impressive feat was foreshadowed by the album’s explosive debut, where it set a new record for first-week sales of a debut album by a K-pop girl group, with 401,287 units sold.
Over the past seven weeks, the sales of “BABYMONS7ER” have continued to rise steadily, reflecting the growing interest and expanding fanbase for BABYMONSTER. The group’s consistent sales performance has now pushed them into the prestigious ‘half million seller’ category, a significant milestone for any artist, especially a debuting group.
YG Entertainment attributed this success to unexpectedly high demand in major music markets such as Japan and China. “We produced additional quantities several times to meet the demand,” a representative from YG Entertainment stated. This surge in album sales is indicative of the group’s growing fandom not only in Korea but on a global scale.
To connect with their growing fanbase, BABYMONSTER is currently on their first fan meeting tour, titled “BABYMONSTER PRESENTS: SEE YOU THERE.” The tour includes seven events across five cities, providing fans with the opportunity to interact with the group and experience their performances live.
