QuoteTo put that figure into perspective, Hot Sauce outperformed the No. 2 bestselling title of May, Tomorrow X Together’s Chaos Field: Freeze, more than two and a half times over. That runner-up managed to sell 693,217 copies in just one day (including presales), as it was released on May 31.
Hot Sauce was so popular, it actually outsold the rest of the titles that appear inside the top 20 on the list of the bestselling albums in South Korea in the month of May combined. That group includes new releases from the likes of ENHYPEN, ITZY, ATEEZ, EVERGLOW, Highlight and several other NCT-branded acts, such as NCT, NCT 127 and a handful of other NCT Dream products.
that's amazing, I didn't realize it when the gaon update was shared, but hot sauce really outsold everyone else, even nct (old releases) lol
