aespa's sales have even skyrocketed with their latest album's release, continuing their popularity growth!

According to Hanteo's latest update, the girl group's 2nd mini-album 'Girls' recorded a total of 1,126,000 copies in its first week of sales, setting a new impressive feat for K-Pop girl groups.

In fact, 'Girls' only took one day to smash aespa's personal record in first-week sales, as the album sold over 800,000 copies on the first day. The record was previously held by 'Savage,' which had 276,877 album sales during its first week, showcasing a massive jump in numbers.

Not only did aespa break their personal best, but it also set a new record among girl groups in Hanteo history. 'Girls' has become the best-selling album by a girl group in both first-day and first-week sales on Hanteo.

In addition, the girl group joined BTS, Seventeen, NCT Dream, TXT, and ENHYPEN as the only K-Pop acts to have an album surpassing the 1 million sales count in the first week of release.

With the number of sales 'Girls' pulled off, aespa has wowed the netizens with the record they have achieved. Some comments include: "The jump from 'Savage' to 'Girls' albums, the growth...", "The gap? That's freaking huge", "Their power as a 4th generation group...", "Wow! Over one million copies, just with a mini album?".

Wow, so many haters here. I bought a set of the albums myself, not mass buying. Everyone's album sales make a jump during the last couple of years, I'm not surprised.

Nothing against aespa but, That's the most fishy part actually. Having that much improvement in between 1 comeback, it doesn't seem real. Not to mention aespa got lot of hate for their live singing and having no stage presence. After this you expect their popularity/sales to go down, but instead it went up in massive numbers at that.
