According to his agency, Big Hit Music, on the 15th, Yeonjun’s second mini-album, “NO LABELS: PART 02,” went straight to No. 1 on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking on the 13th, the day of its release. Previously, Yeonjun’s first mini-album, “NO LABELS: PART 01,” released last November, also topped the same chart.
“NO LABELS: PART 02” is an album consisting of six tracks in total, including the title track “Ice Cream.” Yeonjun personally participated in choreographing the title track and is credited as a lyricist for the tracks “Baby Wassup?” and “Long Way Long Ride.”
According to Hanteo Chart, a South Korean album sales tracking site, this album sold over 660,000 copies on its release day alone. This marks the highest first-day sales figure among solo artist albums released this year. Yeonjun surpassed the first-week sales of his previous album in just one day, achieving a career high.
Next month, Yeon Jun will take the stage at the “Summer Concert Series,” hosted by ABC’s flagship morning news program “Good Morning America,” and at the “Z100 Summer Bash Presented by Wells Fargo,” organized by Z100, a radio station under iHeartMedia.
