The situation
Yeonjun's solo album "NO LABELS: PART 02" and its title track "Ice Cream" topped the physical album and digital download charts on Circle Chart. CORTIS maintained their double crown on the overall digital and streaming charts with "REDRED". The top spots on the charts were dominated by new releases, with i-dle, VAYONN, and AHOF also making appearances.
What the internet did with it
- Netizens on Theqoo were generally unbothered by the chart results, with some commenting on the strong debut of Yeonjun's solo album — "his album sales are *사이다* (a pleasant surprise)".
- The fact that all top five spots on the physical album chart went to new releases suggests a competitive week in K-pop, with multiple groups and artists vying for attention.
- Some fans noted that CORTIS's continued dominance on the digital charts is a testament to their dedicated fanbase and the song's enduring popularity, despite being released weeks prior.
The open question
The question remains whether Yeonjun's solo album will be able to maintain its momentum on the charts, or if other upcoming releases will surpass it — specifically, will his sales hold up against the impending comeback announcements from other major groups.
