4 Straight Million-Sellers: &TEAM Break Their Own Record With Mark on Me

&TEAM walked into KSPO Dome in Seoul on the 3rd carrying a number that tells the whole story: 1,357,357 copies sold in the first week of Mark on Me, a personal record by a meaningful margin and the group's fourth consecutive million-selling release.

The two-night encore, October 3 and 4 at Olympic Park's KSPO Dome in Songpa-gu, marks the first time the nine-member HYBE group has performed at a dome venue in South Korea. It also closes out the Blaze the Way Asia tour, which launched in Yokohama, Japan back in May and moved through 14 cities across 23 shows, including a stop at the Belluna Dome in Saitama Prefecture in September. That they're ending it at home, in a dome, is the kind of milestone that tends to feel earned rather than handed.

What Mark on Me actually does differently

Mark on Me is &TEAM's second Korean mini-album, and its conceptual logic is a genuine pivot. The group built its earlier identity, across First Howling and Back to Life, on the werewolf mythology that K-pop has always found useful: raw instinct, hardened skin, the lone creature that survives by never lowering its guard. That framework gave their performances a physical urgency that set them apart.

This album turns that logic inside out. The title track opens with a restrained piano line that moves like something cautious, the nine members' voices sitting low before the chorus opens into something orchestral and overwhelming. The emotional argument running through the song is that asking to be tamed isn't surrender, it's the harder choice, the one that requires leaving the protection of isolation and letting someone else's presence actually change you. The collaborators on the track include Grief Clawson, who has worked with BLACKPINK's Rosé, and singer-songwriter Benson Boone, and their fingerprints are audible in how the melody lands: accessible and clean on the surface, with something more complicated underneath.

Good Boy, produced with contributions from HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk, producers Supreme Boi and Hiss Noise, new group Cortis, and rapper Utan, plays the tension for humor as much as drama. Heavy 808 bass from producer Jonny Goldstein carries the track, but the energy is deliberately contradictory: tail-wagging sweetness on top, animal tension just below it. It's the most fun the album allows itself to be, and it makes the point without laboring it, being tamed doesn't mean the instinct disappears.

Chart results and awards momentum

The commercial results have kept pace with the creative ambition. Mark on Me debuted at number one on the Hanteo weekly and world charts, topped the Oricon daily and weekly album rankings (the group's sixth Oricon number-one overall, and fourth consecutive), and the title track took the top spot on KBS 2TV's Music Bank. Four straight million-sellers is a benchmark that very few fourth-generation groups have reached.

The awards column filled in as well. On the 26th, MTV VMAJ 2026 announced that &TEAM had won Performance of the Year and Best Asia Song for Back to Life, a double win that comes with a performance slot at the full ceremony at Tokyo Dome on November 29.

The encore setlist and what LUNÉ can expect

For the KSPO Dome shows, the group has expanded the setlist to incorporate Mark on Me tracks alongside the repertoire that carried them through the full tour. A special stage prepared specifically for the encore run is also on the bill. &TEAM's choreography has always been one of the more technically demanding in their generation, tightly synchronized group formations with the kind of full-body commitment that reads well in arenas, and after 23 shows the members have had plenty of time to push the staging further.

The group has said the Seoul finale is partly about closing the loop with LUNÉ, their fandom, who followed the tour across months and multiple countries. That kind of gratitude tends to translate into something specific in the room, looser, more present, less like a show and more like a conversation. Whether or not the dome captures that feeling, the album they're performing from has given them more emotional range to work with than anything they've released before.
