ENHYPEN becomes the FIRST K-pop act to achieve THIS feat
Jungwon, Heesung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo and Ni-Ki are loved in Japan.
ENHYPEN is the youngest boy group from HYBE LABELS and debuted with massive support from all around the world thanks to the music survival show ‘I-LAND’ that they were a part of. Seven of the most favored debuted following the votes of the viewers as Jungwon, Heesung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo and Ni-Ki became the official members. And though they have continued to garner attention across the globe, their Japanese fans have shown a fairly impressive level of support.
Another milestone to prove this comes with the announcement of the latest RIAJ certifications. ENHYPEN’s debut album ‘BORDER: DAY ONE’ that dropped in November 2020, has achieved a gold certificate for selling over 100,000 copies since release becoming the only Korean debut album ever to get an RIAJ certification. Meanwhile, the group’s second Japanese single album ‘DIMENSION: SENKOU’, which was released in May this year, was certified double-platinum by RIAJ becoming the first from the septet to do so. This means they have sold over 500,000 units of the album as a platinum certification is awarded for a sale of 250,000 units.
With Japanese member Ni-Ki as a part of their lineup, it is wonderful to see the achievements made by the group in his home country. ENHYPEN made their debut in Japan with first single album ‘BORDER: Hakanai’ in July 2021 and was also certified platinum by RIAJ. They are expected to make a Korean language comeback soon as reports for a July release have been made. If followed, it would be their return in six months since releasing ‘DIMENSION : ANSWER’, their first repackage album in January.
