The group AND2BLE is continuing its global expansion, sweeping the top ranks of major local album charts ahead of its official Japanese debut.

Comprising Jang Hao, Yoo Seung-ean, Riki, Kim Kyu-bin, and Han Yu-jin, AND2BLE is achieving remarkable results in the Japanese music market with its first mini-album, 'Sequence 01: Curiosity,' released on the 26th of last month. Despite being a Korean release, the album is receiving an enthusiastic response locally.

Specifically, the album ranked second on the All-Store Comprehensive Album Weekly Chart at the Japanese record shop Tower Records (chart period: June 1 to June 7, 2026). In particular, it topped the K-POP Daily Chart at the Kyoto branch an impressive four times and reached a peak of second place on the K-POP Weekly Chart. Subsequently, it also climbed to first place on the Umeda branch's daily chart, proving the high level of interest from local fans. The group also made its presence known on major official charts. AND2BLE ranked second on the Billboard Japan Download Album Chart (chart period: May 25 to May 27, 2026) and fourth on the Oricon Weekly Combined Album Ranking (chart period: June 1 to June 7, 2026). Their domestic performance is also formidable. Based on the Hanteo Chart, this album surpassed 730,000 copies in first-week sales, ascending to fourth place for the highest first-week sales of a debut album in history. Having won twice on music shows with the title track 'Curious,' AND2BLE is currently continuing promotions with the sub-title track 'Aura,' demonstrating the irreplaceable potential of a rookie group.
