aespa Achieves Historic 1 Million 1st-Week Sales Milestone As K-Pop Girl Group

aespa has returned triumphantly with yet another album that's destined to hit the million mark in sales!

As of November 17, the Hanteo Chart made an official announcement stating that aespa's latest mini-album, 'Drama,' astonishingly sold a total of 1,130,379 copies within its first week of release, spanning from November 10 to 16.

Remarkably, aespa has made history as the first female artist on the Hanteo charts to achieve over 1 million copies sold for three distinct albums within their debut week. Prior to 'Drama,' Aespa accomplished this feat with their earlier mini-album 'MY WORLD' and their 2022 release, 'Girls.'

In addition to its success in South Korea, 'Drama'has been dominating music charts in China, securing the top spot on QQ Music's and KuGou Music's digital album sales charts. Notably, the album's title track, 'Drama,' climbed to No. 1 on QQ Music's music video chart and rising chart as well.

aespa, the highly praised K-pop girl group, has returned with their fourth mini-album, 'Drama,' featuring the title track of the same name. This new release comes on the heels of their previous success with 'My World,' which debuted in May, marking their second mini-album release of the year.

Recently, aespa members revealed that their original plan was to release ‘Drama’ instead of ‘Spicy’ in early 2023. They had dedicated a year to work on this song. According to an industry insider, aespa's founder Lee Soo Man's efforts to incorporate sustainability themes into the lyrics led to a complete revamp of the melody, lyrics, and arrangement.

The revised version of ‘Drama’ was officially launched on November 10, notably devoid of the previously controversial sustainability-themed lyrics. Fans expressed relief that aespa's input was considered, resulting in changes to the song.

However, netizens persist in expressing frustration over the styling choices made by the company for the aespa members, raising concerns about potentially risky styling decisions.
