While the boys continue to rank high on music charts in Korea, they've also been spotted at #1 on iTunes top album charts of Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. They also hit #39 on a chart for the U.S. as well.
With all this immediate success, it seems the boys had a hard time believing it themselves judging by their thoughts expressed through an interview with the media.
Kang Seung Yoon: "It was a totally unexpected result so it was bewildering. In order to repay the support that our fans have given us, I thought that I should work harder."
Song Min Ho (Mino): "I'm deeply moved by it! Thank you so much! It's amazing. More and more fighting!"
Nam Tae Hyun: "I can't believe it."
Kim Jin Woo: "I'm really happy. It feels surreal. I will work harder."
Lee Seung Hoon: "Lee Hi and Akdong Musician achieved good results that are not typical of rookies before us so I congratulated them, but at the same time I felt a lot of pressure. As much as we prepared a long time, the results turned out to be good so it feels like I made it up to those who waited for us so I'm happy."
With these feats under their belt, WINNER will go on to perform at the 'AIA Real Life: Now Festival 2014' alongside their YG Family artists on the 15th and then finally perform their debut stage on 'Inkigayo' on the 17th.
