EXO’s Baekhyun has achieved a remarkable milestone with the release of his fourth solo mini album, Hello, World. Launched on September 6 at 6 p.m. KST, the album has already made an astonishing impact on the charts and sales records.
In a stunning display of popularity, Hello, World sold a phenomenal 893,214 copies on its first day alone. This figure not only eclipses Baekhyun’s previous solo first-week sales record of 868,840 copies, set by his 2021 mini album Bambi, but also demonstrates a significant leap in his sales performance. The album’s debut day success is particularly noteworthy given that the week isn’t over yet, suggesting that the final sales numbers could rise even higher before the end of September 12.

The album’s immediate success extends beyond impressive sales figures. Hello, World has made a strong debut on global music charts, with the album reaching No. 1 on the iTunes Top Albums charts in 33 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, India, and Thailand. The title track, “Pineapple Slice,” has also dominated, hitting No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs charts in 24 regions, from Colombia and Ecuador to Russia and Vietnam.
Baekhyun’s return to the solo scene comes after a three-and-a-half-year hiatus, making this release a highly anticipated event for fans worldwide.

The event, set in a three-story building, will offer fans unique experiences including a music room, photo booths, exhibitions, and lucky draw events. Attendance will require advanced reservations to ensure a safe and organized experience.
With Hello, World marking a career-best achievement for Baekhyun, his fans and the music industry alike are eagerly watching to see how high this record-breaking album will climb. Congratulations to Baekhyun on his incredible success!
