The situation

This achievement comes after the group's return with the title track "BAD" on June 26. The sales were confirmed by Hanteo Chart on June 29.
What the internet did with it
- Netizens on Theqoo were generally unbothered, with some commenting on the group's consistent sales performance — "they're really doing well, no need to *눈치* (pay attention to what others think)"
- The album's success adds to ATEEZ's streak of million-selling albums, which includes "THE WORLD EP.2 : OUTLAW," "THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL," "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.1," "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2," and "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4"
- — "ATEEZ is really making it hard for other groups to keep up, their fans are dedicated"
The open question
The question now is whether "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5" will continue to break records and surpass the sales of their previous albums, and what ATEEZ's next move will be to maintain their momentum. Specifically, the release date for their next comeback or project has not been confirmed, leaving fans wondering what's next for the group.
