EVAN Tops 500K in Sales With Solo Debut EP 'DEATH OF ME'

EVAN, formerly of K-POP boy group ENHYPEN, has passed 500,000 in sales with his first solo EP. It marks a strong opening act for the singer's post-group career.

According to the album sales tracker Hanteo Chart on Thursday, EVAN's debut mini-album "DEATH OF ME" had sold 502,677 copies as of Wednesday.

The EP is also charting overseas. It reached No. 1 on iTunes' Top Albums chart in 11 countries and regions, including Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand and Turkey, and entered the chart in 34 countries and regions in total. In Japan, it landed at No. 4 on Oricon's Daily Album Ranking dated September 8.

"DEATH OF ME" is built around the idea of sorting through messy feelings and moving forward. EVAN produced every track on the record, which pulls from alternative rock, UK garage pop and dream pop.

The music video for the title track "Death of Me" crossed 10 million views on YouTube on Tuesday. It also ranked No. 5 on YouTube's global Daily Trending Music Videos chart and landed in the top 10 in nine countries and regions.
