TXT's Yeonjun Sells 661,000 Albums on First Day
the man released a solo mini and immediately bodied every other soloist of the year. no notes, only screaming.
661,924 copies. ONE day. yeonjun released 'NO LABELS: PART 02' at 1 p.m. kst on july 10 and by the time hanteo finished counting he had the highest first-day sales of any korean soloist in 2026. the girlies are simply not okay.
for scale, because scale is the entire point here: his first solo mini needed a full WEEK to reach 601,105. he cleared that number before dinner on day one. the man is competing exclusively against himself and still not losing.
'Ice Cream' fronts the set and went straight to no. 1 on bugs' realtime chart at 2 p.m. kst — one hour after release. itunes fell in line right after: the album hit no. 1 in at least 11 regions, the single in at least 10. japan, thailand, saudi arabia, the UAE, vietnam, the philippines. it's a world tour, but of chart positions.
MOAs called this from the first solo teaser and were, annoyingly, correct. ate, left no crumbs, sent BIGHIT straight to the press release factory. 😮💨

TXT to Debut VR Concert 'Endless Ride' in Singapore
the boys strapped us into headsets for 'endless ride' — a first-person vr concert that's basically a fever dream on rails. it's their THIRD one, making them the reigning kings of a format nobody else committed to.
txt really looked at the concept of 'attending a concert' and said what if it was a dream, on a train, strapped to your face. 'endless ride' is a vr concert experience and i've never wanted a headset more in my life.
instead of watching a concert film from your seat like a peasant, everyone gets their own vr headset for a first-person view — the whole thing is built as a train journey drifting through dreamlike landscapes, with performances and little interactive moments made specifically for vr. it's giving lucid dream, it's giving main character, it's giving 'why is this a train and why do i care so much.'
and here's the part that's actually iconic: this is their THIRD dedicated vr concert. as in, txt is the first k-pop act to put out three of these. everyone else made one and clocked out; the boys built a whole cinematic universe in headset form. commitment to the bit is a love language.
the catch: it's a singapore exclusive at gv bugis+, running august 14 through september 3, with tickets going up july 24 (about $38–40). there are even weekly collectibles — photocards, postcards, the little treasures — so of course people will be going multiple times. for research.
anyway if you're in singapore, congrats, you get to ride the dream train. if you're not, we suffer in standard definition together. hold my hand.
