82MAJOR Reaches No. 1 in First Week Since Comeback

Eighty-two Major set a new record for itself on the album chart, achieving initial sales of 131,089 copies just 5 days after releasing their second single “HEAT.” The title track “Like Fire” entered the Melon Hot 100 at position 64 within 30 days of its release and reached No. 1 on the Bugs Real-Time TOP100 chart 4 days ago, marking their first time at the top of a domestic music chart since Debut.

Music and Album Performance “Like Fire” ranked third on Spain’s iTunes chart and appeared among the top positions on global K-pop charts in Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and others. It also made it onto China’s Wangyue Music chart. These results are attributed to 82Major’s growing global popularity.

Concerts and Award Appearances Eighty-two Major held a release commemoration live event at Gwanghwamun Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul on the 2nd, where they met with fans and members of the public. They then performed their comeback stages on major music shows including Mnet’s “M Countdown,” KBS 2TV’s “Music Bank,” MBC’s “Show! Music Core,” and SBS’s “Inkigayo.” Their styling, featuring fighter-inspired elements, bandages, and performances using matches, effectively conveyed the intense concept of “Like Fire.”

Award Wins In the first week following their Comeback, 82Major attended the “SPOTV K-POP AWARDS” held at Incheon KINTEX on the 6th and won the “Global Connect Award.” At the ceremony, they performed a combination of their new song “Like Fire” and their previous track “TROPHY.” With dancers creating a ring-like stage using red ropes, 82Major transformed into fighters and delivered a powerful intro. They then showcased their performance skills by presenting the high-energy “Like Fire” stage followed by a dramatic dance break for “TROPHY.”

Continuing Their Activities With record-breaking initial album sales, their first No. 1 on a music chart since Debut, and an award win in their first week back, 82Major will continue promoting “HEAT” through various music shows as well as online and offline content.
