According to the Hanteo Chart on the 3rd, "UNFORGIVEN," which was released offline the previous day, sold 1,024,034 copies on that day alone. It became a million seller on the first day of its release.
It is the first time that a K-pop girl group has sold more than 1 million albums on the day of its release since the K-pop girl group BLACKPINK set it as its second full-length album "BORNPINK" last year. In particular, LE SSERAFIM sold 10,000 more copies.
As a result, LE SSERAFIM ranked fourth in the K-pop girl group's initial sales (a week after the release of the album) just one day after the release of the album.
Currently, BLACKPINK's "Born Pink" ranks first with 1.54 million copies, aespa's second mini-album "Girls" ranks second with 1.1 million copies, and IVE first full-length album "I've IVE" ranks third with 1.1 million copies. If LE SSERAFIM continues its record sales momentum, it is likely to increase the ranking of initial sales of girl groups.
