🔥 Record-Breaking First Week Sales

Global boy group &TEAM has set a new milestone with their Korean debut mini album “Back to Life.” According to Hanteo Chart on November 4, the album sold a total of 1,222,022 copies within its first week (October 28 – November 3).

This achievement makes it the best-selling Korean-language album released in October and ranks it among the top-selling albums of 2025 overall. On its release day alone, “Back to Life” sold over 1.13 million copies, instantly propelling &TEAM into the million-seller club.

🏆 Chart Performance in Korea and Japan

On the same day, Japan’s Oricon announced that “Back to Life” had debuted at #1 on the Weekly Album Chart (dated November 10). Notably, &TEAM became the first Japanese artist to top Oricon’s Weekly Album Chart with a Korean album, marking a historic moment in the transnational K-pop era.

This double success across both countries underscores the group’s growing global influence and the solid support of their international fanbase.

🌐 A Symbol of Cross-Border Growth

&TEAM’s success reflects the deepening integration of K-pop’s production system with the global music landscape. As part of HYBE’s “Multi-Home, Multi-Genre” strategy, the group embodies cross-cultural collaboration and artistic diversity — expanding the label’s vision of music without borders.

Through &TEAM, HYBE continues to demonstrate that the synergy between Korean creative direction and global artistry can yield both commercial success and cultural resonance.

🎧 The Meaning Behind “Back to Life”

The album “Back to Life” captures &TEAM’s unity, evolution, and primal energy. Drawing from the group’s symbolic “wolf DNA” and HYBE’s “global DNA,” the record channels instinct, challenge, and rebirth. It serves as both a reflection of their journey and a declaration of identity as artists ready to transcend limits.

With its bold sound and message of resilience, the album positions &TEAM as one of the next-generation leaders of global K-pop.

💬 &TEAM’s Expanding Presence

After debuting in Japan in 2023, &TEAM has steadily expanded their footprint across Asia and beyond. With appearances on Korean music programs, variety shows, and digital content platforms, the group is solidifying its status as a truly transnational K-pop act.

“Back to Life” not only marks a triumphant Korean debut but also signals the beginning of a broader global ascent.
