On August 8, the mini-album was physically released. According to Hanteo statistics, it sold 262,815 copies on its first day of release, which is a significant figure for any artist, let alone a rookie trio. This made ‘New Jeans’ Hante’s best-selling debut girl group album. The previous record holders were LE SSERAFIM, whose first album ‘FEARLESS’ sold 176,861 copies on the first day. The album was also the third girl group debut album to have the highest first-week sales on Hante, after jumping to the top on the first day of release. NewJeans’ first album was released digitally on August 1st, with a physical CD to follow on August 8th.
