Enhypen has taken Japan by storm, topping major music charts with their latest release. According to the December 2nd Oricon chart update, the group’s second full-length repackaged album, Romance: Untold-Daydream- (Daydream), claimed the top spot on the weekly album ranking. This marks the group's ninth album to achieve this milestone on Oricon’s weekly chart.
The album sold an impressive 185,000 copies through Oricon’s sales channels between November 18 and 24, showcasing the group’s strong presence in the Japanese market. This feat adds to the album’s global success, having surpassed 1.4 million sales in its first week—a new record for the highest first-week sales of a K-pop repackaged album.
Enhypen’s achievements with Daydream have also reignited interest in their earlier releases. Their second full-length album, Romance: Untold, re-entered the Billboard 200 chart at #7 on the chart dated November 30. This remarkable resurgence reflects the group’s growing influence on the international music scene.
Beyond their chart-topping performance, Enhypen continues to solidify their foothold in Japan with an active schedule. The group is set to perform on Fuji TV’s FNS Music Festival on December 4, further extending their reach in the Japanese entertainment industry. Enhypen is also in the midst of a successful dome tour across Japan, captivating fans with high-energy performances and their signature charisma.
The group’s success underscores their ability to connect with a global audience while maintaining a stronghold in key markets like Japan and the United States. Their consistent chart dominance and record-breaking sales reflect a combination of musical innovation and a dedicated fanbase.
Enhypen’s recent triumphs not only highlight their evolution as artists but also signify their growing impact within the competitive K-pop industry. As they continue to break records and captivate fans worldwide, the group is poised to remain at the forefront of the genre’s global expansion.
