[OSEN] Global rookie MODYSSEY is showing an unstoppable upward trajectory in the music industry.
According to their agency on the 19th, MODYSSEY (Hung Wei, Pan Zei, Lizhao, Linlin, Suran, Yichen, Rowan) surpassed 352,714 copies in initial sales (sales during the first week of release) for their first mini-album ‘MODYSSEY The 1st EP 2.Multitude: How We Bloom’, released on the 12th, based on Hanteo Chart’s weekly physical album chart (10/12–10/18).
This figure outperforms the 300,000 initial sales of their debut single ‘1.Got Hooked: An Addictive Symphony’ released last April. Having made a strong first impression with over 300,000 album sales upon debut, MODYSSEY broke their own record in about six months, proving their stronger-than-ever album power.
The achievement holds special significance as they have now exceeded 650,000 total initial sales across just two albums. By surpassing the 300,000 initial sales mark consecutively with their debut single and first EP, they have demonstrated continuous growth potential. Achieving such remarkable success as a rookie group has firmly established MODYSSEY’s presence as a representative breakout boy band in this year’s music scene.
MODYSSEY shared their thoughts, saying, “We are truly grateful for all the love we’ve received despite being rookies, which makes us want to work even harder. We are so thankful to our team members and fans. We will continue to show growth while keeping our initial mindset.”
An industry representative analyzed, “This record shows that MODYSSEY’s nonstop activities since debut have translated into tangible results. Having debuted last April, they expanded their fandom through active promotions in various global regions both domestically and internationally, which ultimately led to a surge in sales for their second album.”
