BTS’ Jin is making history again with releasing his highly anticipated sophomore album, “ECHO.” The South Korean market has welcomed him warmly, and first-day sales are the living proof that this is just the beginning.
On May 16, the Hanteo chart announced that Jin’s “ECHO” sold approximately 720,000 copies on its first day of release. The new achievement has become Jin’s second-highest selling album in first-day sales, only surpassed by his debut solo album, “Happy,” which achieved around 850,000 sales on its first day.
In addition, Jin’s first-day performance made it the second-best-selling Kpop album of 2025. It is expected that the idol will continue the promotions for the album until the official BTS reunion occurs next month. What an amazing moment to be a BTS fan.
