Sold 60k in a day with 4x the price of the korean version. J-ikonics remain superior. We needed this good news and they delivered.

[GRISHA - A Yoonbin Stan]

[Mind_control]

J-konics remain superior. They did their best to cheer them up today at concert too. Screamed so loud for Ju-Ne.

 

It's their best 1st day sale to date. Congrats iKON!

[Namie-Knowles]

Good job. Might hit 90,000 by the end of 2018

Probably 90% day 2 drop with that hi-touch album booster all but canceled.

Postponed I believe

Welcome Back sold 101k copies, Return is coming to surprass his hyung. Surely in 2019 they will release their 3rd J-album New Kids series in Japanese.

[Artemosia]

Impressive given the really high average retail price compared to some other acts, relatively small marketing campaign and absence of any discount by a chain like Tower! Plus, their sales keep increasing! 

[1Q98]

how many hi touch events?

[Hunnybin]

Congrats iKON! We love supportive j-ikonics! 

[BlueGreen]

how many hi touch events?

 

 

3 times on 3 different days for a total of 9. December 16 at 11:30, 1:30 and 3:30 in Osaka; December 17 at 11:30, 1:30 and 3:30 in Fukuoka; & December 19 at 11:30, 1:30 and 3:30 in Tokyo. To receive an invitation ticket you must but a set of 3 CDs for a total of Â¥ 6,000. So one 3 cd set gives you one invitation ticket. The album also has a 2CD+2DVD version, 2CD+2Bluray version, CD+DVD version, a regular CD version, and 7 individual member playbutton versions for a total of 11 versions. Pretty typical YGEX release strategy for certain of their groups and nothing new really. It wouldn't work as well without the fandom to buy these things and proves ikon's fandom strength.
