The band slid into the top spot after moving 135,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Of that, 100,000 copies were traditional album sales.

This is the first K-Pop album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and the group’s second Top 10 record following Love Yourself: Her. It’s also the biggest week yet for K-Pop in overall units and traditional album sales. Plus, it’s the first primarily foreign-language No. 1 album in over 12 years!
