On October 19, JxJ officially debuted with their first mini album “DREAMSCAPE” and its dreamy title track “12 o’clock.” According to PLEDIS Entertainment, the album sold a staggering 656,011 copies on its very first day — the most any unit album has ever moved in Hanteo history.
A Global Chart Sweep
The record didn’t stop at physical sales. “DREAMSCAPE” claimed No. 1 on Line Music’s realtime Album Top 100 chart in Japan, topped QQ Music’s digital bestseller albums chart in China, and hit the top of iTunes Top Albums charts in at least six regions worldwide. The title track “12 o’clock” also reached No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs charts in countries including Singapore, Argentina, and the Philippines.
The Power of Jeonghan x Joshua
Jeonghan and Joshua are two of SEVENTEEN’s most beloved vocalists, and fans have long been waiting for an official unit from the pair. With DREAMSCAPE, they proved the demand was real — and that SEVENTEEN’s sub-units can pull blockbuster numbers all on their own. For Jeonghan, the debut also marks a major milestone in his ongoing return to group activities.
