Artist trio JYJ recently set a sales record by making around 6.8 billion won, or $6 million USD, off their debut album, ‘The Beginning,’ in just one day.
The album, which is set to be released on the 12th, received an overwhelming number of sales because of successful pre-ordering and ticket sales made at a showcase at a Korean university. Because the album was so popular, its price eventually rose to 41,600 won each, or $37 USD. Although there were only 99,999 copies of the album’s special luxury edition made, around 400,000 orders for it were made, while 200,000 orders for the regular-edition album were made during a single day. In addition, tickets for an 11,000-seat concert in Seoul were sold out in just 15 minutes and earned the boys about half a million US dollars, or 600 million won.
Because the album received so much popularity, the producers have stated, “We will considering releasing the special album in other different forms” to accommodate those who did not receive a chance to make their orders.
