Translation result.
AND2BLE has made an immediate impact on the K-pop scene, delivering results that far outpace typical rookie expectations. With their debut, the five-member group has quickly become one of 2026’s most closely watched new acts.
AND2BLE—Jang Hao, Yoo Seungeon, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, and Han Yujin—launched their career with the debut EP Sequence 01: Curiosity. Since its release, the group has posted strong showings across physical album sales, digital charts, and video platforms.
The group’s most notable achievement has come in album sales. Hanteo Chart reports that Sequence 01: Curiosity sold more than 560,000 copies in just three days, officially attaining half‑million seller status. The album also held the No. 1 spot on the daily album chart for three consecutive days, a sign of the group’s robust and highly engaged fandom. With first-week tracking still underway, industry observers are watching to see how high final sales may climb.
That momentum has translated to streaming and video as well. The music video for the title track “Curious” surpassed 10 million views in under three days, underscoring the speed and scale of global fan engagement.
Internationally, the album made an immediate mark. It entered the iTunes Top Albums top 10 in 23 countries and regions upon release and rose to No. 2 on the Worldwide Albums Chart. In China, the album topped QQ Music’s Daily Best-Selling Albums Chart and later reached No. 2 on the platform’s weekly ranking, strengthening the group’s presence in one of Asia’s largest music markets.
The title track “Curious” also gained traction across multiple territories: it entered the iTunes Top Songs top 10 in 13 countries and regions, reached No. 1 on Korea’s Bugs real-time chart, and ranked highly on Tencent Music’s Korean Song Chart in China.
Sequence 01: Curiosity serves as the opening chapter of AND2BLE’s long-term narrative universe. Built around the theme of curiosity, the five-track project examines the excitement, uncertainty, and subtle emotional shifts that accompany encounters with unfamiliar worlds, all presented through a cohesive, story-driven structure.
Having rapidly elevated every major metric from sales to streams, AND2BLE will give its first televised performance of “Curious” on MBC’s Show! Music Core today. As official music-show promotions begin, expectations are rising for what many already consider one of K-pop’s most promising rookie acts of 2026.
