Seventeen, the 13-member K-pop group, has broken a new first-week sales record by selling over 4.62 million copies of their 11th EP in just four days, as confirmed by a local sales tally on Friday.
This remarkable achievement surpasses Stray Kids' "Five-Star," which previously held the record with 4.61 million in sales, and it also dethrones Seventeen's own previous EP, "FML," which had sold over 4.55 million copies in its first week. "FML" retains its own distinct record as the first album in K-pop history to surpass 3 million units sold on the day of its release.
Seventeen's latest EP, "Seventeenth Heaven," was introduced to fans on October 23 and had already accumulated over 5.2 million preorders, setting a new record for K-pop album preorders.
In a separate development, Minkyu will be taking a temporary hiatus, as announced by the group's agency, Pledis Entertainment, on Friday. Minkyu had experienced acute back pain, which received prompt medical attention. In light of his condition, he has been advised to take some time off to focus on his recovery.
