&TEAM’s Korean Debut Album Sales Exceed 1.2 Million

&TEAM, the dynamic K-pop group from HYBE Labels, has achieved monumental success with their first Korean mini-album, “Back to Life.” Released on October 28, 2025, the album’s remarkable sales performance immediately cemented the group’s status as a million-seller, signaling a powerful entry into the Korean music market and showcasing their impressive chart performance from day one.

A Million-Seller on Day One

The immediate impact of “Back to Life” was nothing short of spectacular. On its release day, October 28, 2025, the album sold an astonishing 1,139,988 copies, according to data from Hanteo Chart. This incredible figure instantly bestowed the “million-seller” title upon &TEAM, a rare and significant achievement for any group’s first Korean release. This initial success set the stage for a record-breaking week.

Record-Breaking First-Week Album Sales and Chart Performance

The momentum continued throughout the album’s first week, culminating in historic achievements in both Korea and Japan. The group’s strong album sales demonstrated their dedicated global fanbase and the successful strategy of HYBE Labels.

Stunning First-Week Sales in Korea

By the end of the first-week sales period, which concluded on November 3, 2025, the total number of copies sold reached 1,222,022. Hanteo Chart officially confirmed these figures on November 4, 2025, noting that “Back to Life” recorded the highest sales for any Korean album released in October 2025. This powerful debut underscores the significance of first-week album sales as a key performance indicator for a K-pop group in today’s competitive industry.

Historic Milestone on Japan’s Oricon Chart

&TEAM’s success was not confined to Korea. On November 4, 2025, Japan’s leading music chart, Oricon, announced that “Back to Life” had topped its Weekly Album Ranking for the chart dated November 10, 2025. This marked a historic moment, as &TEAM became the first Japanese artist to ever top the prestigious chart with a Korean-language album, proving their powerful dual-market appeal.

The Creative Force Behind “Back to Life”

The album’s success is backed by the creative vision of top industry producers. HYBE’s chairman, Bang SiHyuk, along with producer Soma Genda, took the helm for this project, crafting the album and its title track, also named “Back to Life.” Having officially debuted in Japan in 2023, &TEAM’s successful Korean debut with this new album marks a significant expansion of their career, solidifying their position as a rising force in the global music scene.
