ENHYPEN's 'THE SIN : BLISS' Debuts With 1.77M Sales and iTunes No. 1 in 23 Countries

ENHYPEN's eighth mini album THE SIN : BLISS sold 1,774,829 copies on its first day of release, according to Hanteo Chart, putting the group on track for what would be their fifth career "double million-seller" achievement.

The album dropped on the 21st, and by the time daily tallies closed, it had claimed the No. 1 spot on Hanteo's daily chart by a wide margin. The sales figure is particularly significant because this is the group's first full release since reorganizing as a six-member act, a comeback that ENGENEs have been watching closely.

Global momentum followed the domestic numbers. THE SIN : BLISS topped the iTunes Top Albums chart in 23 countries and regions, including Brazil, Japan, Malaysia, and Turkey, and entered the upper tier of Japan's Line Music real-time Album Top 100.

The lead single "Bloody Paradise" landed at No. 1 on Bugs' real-time chart, while all six tracks from the new album occupied positions 1 through 6 simultaneously, a clean sweep that also pulled older ENHYPEN releases back up the charts through the streaming boost that tends to follow big comeback days. "Bloody Paradise" also topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in 13 countries and regions, including Thailand and Argentina.

Thematically, the album builds around a narrative of two lovers who break a taboo together and gradually discover that their escape carries its own kind of blessing. That arc plays out across 10 tracks that move through Brazilian funk and several other genres, with Two Fools among the standout deep cuts alongside the title track.

The group appeared on MBC's music program Show! Music Core on the 22nd, giving fans their first televised performance of the new material.
