Netizens congratulated ZEROBASEONE for reaching an impressive sales number despite being newly debuted and expressed their awe for the group.

Read their comments below:

“When I saw the 780K pre-orders news, I thought that this was it, but they actually went above!”

“The last time a group did this was in 1997 and it was Sechs Kies. Congrats boys! The floral theme of ‘In Bloom’ looks promising.”

“When they were revealed to have sold 700K copies, I thought ‘they’ll probably go a bit higher, but they’ve surpassed way above 700K.”

“This isn’t even their first week sales, let’s go even harder.”

“Oh I wonder how many pre-orders they’ll reach in total.”

“Yeah even if they don’t surpass 1 million actually, they’re already selling super well.”

“A boy group hasn’t sold a million with their debut album since 1997. So this is extremely unique.”

Congratulations to ZEROBASEONE for this accomplishment!
