K-netizens react to Stray Kids setting the highest pre-order sales record in K-pop history for their 3rd full album '★★★★★ (5 STAR)'

AKP STAFF

Stray Kids' third complete album, '★★★★★ (5 STAR),' set a new all-time record in Kpop with over 4.93 million pre-order album sales. 

On May 30, KST, the group garnered significant attention for this outstanding achievement, setting a new milestone in K-pop history. The previous record was held by SEVENTEEN, who had 4.64 million pre-orders for their 10th mini-album 'FML,' last month.

Stray Kids' second full-length album, 'NOEASY,' released in August 2021, marked a significant milestone for the group, with approximately 1,675,000 copies sold.

Building on their success, their mini-album 'ODDINARY,' released in March 2022, continued their streak of million-selling records, reaching sales of approximately 1,856,000 copies. Their subsequent release, 'MAXIDENT,' in October of the same year, surpassed expectations with approximately 3,421,700 copies sold. This remarkable feat elevated Stray Kids to the esteemed status of a "Triple Million Selling Artist."

Korean netizens are impressed with this amazing feat and commented, "I think they're more popular overseas than in Korea," "I'm excited to hear their new songs," "This is really amazing," "It's so crazy how the pre-order number is almost 5 million," "Wow, congrats," "I think they have really good results thanks to overseas fans," "I think they're really popular in Japan," "This is really crazy how they have so much popularity overseas," "This is so awesome,"  and "They might come out as the top worldwide."
