TXT’s Yeonjun Sets 2026 Korean Soloist First-Week Sales High With NO LABELS: PART 02

TXT member Yeonjun has added a new benchmark to his solo career, with NO LABELS: PART 02 recording the highest first-week sales for any album by a Korean soloist so far in 2026.

According to Hanteo Chart figures reported after the album’s first tracking week, the mini album sold 738,072 copies from July 10 through July 16. The total gives Yeonjun a clear new personal best and places the release at the front of this year’s Korean soloist sales field.

The result was already signaled early. NO LABELS: PART 02, led by the title track Ice Cream, reportedly moved more than 660,000 copies on its first day alone. That one-day total was enough to surpass the full first-week count for Yeonjun’s previous solo mini album, NO LABELS: PART 01, which had sold 601,105 copies during its opening week last year.

A Solo Record Built On Fast First-Day Demand

First-week sales have become one of K-pop’s most closely watched commercial indicators because they capture the intensity of preorders, fandom organization, and release-week purchasing. In Yeonjun’s case, the latest number shows not just steady support from TXT’s established fan base, but a notable acceleration from his first solo chapter to his second.

The scale of the increase is significant. Moving from 601,105 first-week copies to 738,072 means Yeonjun added more than 136,000 copies to his prior opening-week record. For a soloist who is also active as part of a major group, that kind of growth suggests that the NO LABELS project has developed its own commercial identity rather than functioning only as a side release.

The timing also matters. The album arrived on July 10, giving it a full seven-day Hanteo tracking period through July 16. By the end of that window, it had secured a 2026 high among Korean soloist albums, a category that remains competitive as more idols use solo projects to define individual sound, image, and performance style.

What The NO LABELS Series Shows About Yeonjun’s Position

Yeonjun has long been recognized as one of TXT’s most visible performers, and his solo releases have given that profile a separate commercial lane. The title NO LABELS also carries a useful promotional idea: it frames the music around flexibility and self-definition, themes that fit an idol who is balancing group identity with individual ambition.

That balance is important in today’s K-pop market. Group popularity can create the runway for a solo debut, but repeat growth usually depends on whether listeners and collectors see the project as distinct. NO LABELS: PART 02 improving on PART 01 indicates that Yeonjun’s solo brand has retained attention between releases and converted that interest into measurable album demand.

The achievement also reflects how album sales continue to function as a public scoreboard in K-pop. Streaming performance, music show results, and international charting all tell different parts of a comeback story, but first-week physical sales remain especially visible because they are immediate and easy to compare. For fans, a record like this becomes both a celebration and a signal that an artist’s next solo step will be watched closely.

For TXT, Yeonjun’s new high adds another layer to the group’s broader momentum. Strong solo numbers can reinforce the individual star power inside a group without weakening the group itself, especially when the member’s solo work is presented as an expansion of the overall artistic ecosystem.

With 738,072 first-week copies now attached to NO LABELS: PART 02, Yeonjun enters the second half of 2026 with a clear commercial milestone. The record does not answer every question about the album’s long-term chart life, but it does establish one immediate fact: his second solo mini album opened with stronger demand than any Korean soloist release reported so far this year.
