TXT’s Yeonjun has made an explosive entrance into the solo music scene. With the release of his first mini-album, he has achieved a rare milestone surpassing 600,000 sales in just one week, securing his position as one of the strongest new solo artists in K-pop.
A Record-Breaking Solo Debut
According to Hanteo Chart, Yeonjun’s debut mini-album NO LABELS: PART 01 sold 601,105 copies within its first week. The momentum was immediate and overwhelming. On its first day alone, the album recorded approximately 540,000 sales, signaling Yeonjun’s immense drawing power even outside of TXT.
Based on only three days of tracking, NO LABELS: PART 01 still topped the Hanteo Weekly Album Chart for the week of November 3–9, making his debut one of the most powerful first-week performances of 2025.
Growing Global Influence
The album continued its strong performance across multiple major charts. On Circle Chart, Yeonjun earned two No. 1 rankings, securing a double crown and reaffirming his rising status in the industry. The title track “Talk to U” also made its way onto several streaming and digital charts, proving its broad appeal and signaling early public resonance.
Yeonjun’s popularity extended beyond South Korea as well. In Japan, the album topped the Oricon Daily Album Ranking (as of November 10) and ranked No. 3 on the Weekly Digital Album Ranking for the week of November 17. His rapidly expanding global impact highlights his potential to become one of the next-generation leaders among K-pop soloists.
A Clear Artistic Identity
NO LABELS: PART 01 is more than a commercial success — it is a statement of Yeonjun’s identity as an artist. Critics have praised the album for showcasing the essence of “Yeonjun core,” a blend of bold musical choices, confident vocal delivery, and striking performance energy.
For the first time, Yeonjun steps forward without the TXT label attached, offering a project that reflects his own creative vision. He participated in writing every track except “Forever,” and contributed to the composition of several songs. He was also deeply involved in the choreography, shaping not only the sound but the visual direction of his solo debut.
Industry insiders note that his active involvement in the music, production, and performance demonstrates his commitment to building a sustainable and authentic solo identity.
Global Promotions Begin With U.S. Appearance
As part of his international promotions, Yeonjun appeared on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show on November 14 (KST), marking a major milestone in his global outreach. His confident presence and dynamic performance are expected to further amplify interest in his newly launched solo career.
With NO LABELS: PART 01, Yeonjun has not only delivered one of the strongest solo debuts of the year, but has also established himself as a powerful new voice in K-pop — one capable of defining his own path beyond the group that first introduced him to the world.
