EXO's Baekhyun proves once again why he’s a force to be reckoned with in the K-pop world, even after 13 years in the industry.

The singer just hit a major milestone, selling a jaw-dropping 1,096,995 copies of his 4th mini-album, Hello, World, within its first week of release, according to Hanteo Chart.

Released on September 6, Hello, World broke Baekhyun's personal record for first-week sales, with nearly 900,000 copies flying off the shelves on the first day alone. In just five days, the album crossed the 1 million mark, solidifying his position as one of K-pop’s top-selling solo artists.

This marks a new era for Baekhyun, who recently established his own agency, INB100. Despite the new challenges, he's showing no signs of slowing down, consistently breaking records and reaching new career heights.

Baekhyun also had a stellar year earlier with his Snacks Party fan meeting tour, selling out every show across the nation. He then followed up with a highly successful solo Asia tour—his first since debut—featuring sold-out encore performances. Now, with Hello, World, Baekhyun has achieved his third consecutive million-seller album, a feat that further cements his legacy as a top-tier male solo artist.

As Baekhyun continues to ride this wave of success, fans can’t wait to see what’s next from this K-pop legend. Baekhyun's dominance in the industry continues to grow, and it's clear that he's not done making history just yet
