YG Entertainment Rookie Group TREASURE Sells More than 700K Albums 3 Months After Debut
Treasure just debuted three months ago but they are already achieving phenomenal results, particularly with their physical sales.
The group had back to back releases of their The First Step series. They started with "Boy", followed by "I Love You" and now their latest for The First Step: Chapter Three is "Mmm", which is being received happily by many fans.
The latest single release has already sold more than 210,000 copies, as reported. They are stepping closer to becoming a "million seller" in their album sales, a very high feat for a group that only debuted last August 7. According to the company, the album is being bought not just by present fans of the group but also new ones.
The group is a product of YG's reality series "Treasure Box" where 29 trainees competed for a chance to debut in the new boy group of the entertainment company. They were supposed to be called Treasure 13, and comprised of two units, Treasure and Magnum. With the departure of Yoonbin, the group was merged and is now collectively known as Treasure.
According to Allkpop, YG says that Treasure will also release a full album by January of next year. They will also continue to promote their new release in music shows and will also perform in various award ceremonies at the end of the year.
