Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.1

Chapter 77

On Sunday evening, after we rearranged the choreography, I ultimately passed out and when I woke up, it was the next week.

This means, that it is time to check the first week's album sales count.

The result was... incredible.

"...670,000 copies?"

"That's right!"

I asked the manager one more time.

"Not the pre-order volume, but the sales volume?"

"...Isn't it like that? Anyway, it is the sales volume!"

"..."

In this case, the pre-orders refer to the number of albums the retail stores had ordered in the prospect of how many albums they predict will be sold.

'I'm skeptical because this is more than it was originally.'

I can't believe it's 670,000 copies.

'It hasn't hit me yet.'

Even though the demand is much bigger compared to the supply, it's the sales volume that felt really paralyzing.

Considering the fact that TeStar's fan base is mainly formed in Korea through an audition show, this was even more amazing.

It's even more than it used to be.

'Wasn't it originally 600,000?'

Clearly, the initial album sale for the first week of a group that originally debuted with <IdolCo> was 600,000 copies. I couldn't figure out where the 70,000 came from...

"...Isn't this a new record for male idols' debut album sales?"

"Oh, uh..."

"Holy moly."

The other guys were also somewhat overwhelmed rather than happy.

If it had been 300,000 copies, we would have been rolling on the floor with happiness, but since it was double of that number, it felt somewhat scary.

Of course, one of us soon came to our senses and made a realistic judgement.

"...If so, will we be able to win first place next week?"

"...!!"

The tension rose at that moment.

Ryu Chungwoo opened his mouth.

"How much are VTIC sunbae-nim's sales this week?"

"I will check."

Kim Raebin immediately began the search.

You could check the weekly sales right from the album chart.

[LONG NIGHT / VTIC 312,608]

"...!"

"Wow."

It was unbelievable that it was in the second week.

'No matter how, the last day of the first week sales period passed.'

The total sales were at the level of very popular male idol groups.

At this point, I became curious about these guys' first-week sales period for this album.

//TN: The first week's total album sales counts are very important in the Kpop industry to determine the level of success of the artist. The sales are the highest during that period.
