[K-enter] Baekhyun's new album becomes 4th consecutive million-seller

Time for some K-entertainment news with Bella Kim.

As you said in the opening, today’s K-enter is filled with K-pop stories. Who are we starting with?

We are going to kick off with Baekhyun. His latest album, “Essence of Reverie” has become a million-seller. According to Hanteo Chart, Baekhyun’s fifth EP reached the milestone just two days after its release. This marks his fourth consecutive million-seller out of a total of five solo albums. It’s also notable that this record makes him the first K-pop solo singer to achieve the feat in the 21st century.

“Essence of Reverie” explores Baekhyun’s reflection on his past and future, and it has topped iTunes top albums chart in 24 regions.

Meanwhile, Baekhyun will meet with his fans around the globe during his first world tour, starting next month.

We’ve seen several artists become million-sellers, but doing it four times! Wow!

Our next story is on a K-pop group?

NCT 127 just wrapped up their fourth world tour with a finale concert at the Tokyo Dome. The group kicked off “Neo City -The Momentum” world tour in January at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul and met with fans in over 15 regions across North America and Asia through 24 shows in total. This tour was held in the hopes of continuing to moving forward as one team and to show off their unlimited energy. They also reached their 100th solo concert during this world tour.

The finale concert, to wrap up the five month-long tour, was held on May 21st to 22nd at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. On top of performing their hit songs, the group thrilled the fans even more by performing Japanese tracks as well.

So much efforts they put into this concert for their fans!

Lastly, we will continue with another K-pop group that is about to kick off their tour.

RIIZE will hold their first solo concert, the “2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR ,” from July 4th to 6th at the KSPO DOME in Seoul. It will then expand to over 14 locations worldwide, including Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and Indonesia.

Notably, the Seoul concert, which will kick off the tour, sold out all the shows just through advance ticket sales for official fan club BRIIZE members.

Meanwhile, RIIZE released their first full-length album “ODYSSEY” on May 19th, reaching number one on domestic and international charts.

Exciting for all the BRIIZE around the world. Thank you Bella for today’s stories.
