Kim Hyun Joong sets new record in Japan


Kim Hyun Joong has sold a record-breaking number of copies of his new Japanese single.

On June 11, Japan’s music chart Oricon announced, “Kim Hyun Joong made a record for reaching 100,000 sales with his all three singles. It’s the first time this has occurred for any Korean solo singer active in Korea.”

Kim Hyun Joong’s third Japanese single ‘TONIGHT’ sold 116,000 copies in the first week. It is the singer’s third single album to sell over 100,000 copies in the first week of release following his previous singles ‘KISS KISS/Lucky Guy’ and ‘HEAT’.

A representative of Universal Music Japan said, “Not only the new album ‘TONIGHT’, but also the previously released singles ‘HEAT’ and ‘KISS KISS/Lucky Guy’ are having orders until now. They are sold out already in some stores, proving his hot popularity.”
