Yeonjun's second solo mini album did in 24 hours what his debut EP needed a full week to do. The TOMORROW X TOGETHER member's "NO LABELS: PART 02" opened with a first-day figure that reset his own career high.
How many copies did Yeonjun's NO LABELS: PART 02 sell on day one?
"NO LABELS: PART 02" sold 661,924 copies on its July 10, 2026 release day, taking No. 1 on Hanteo Chart's daily physical album chart and marking the highest first-day sales by any Korean soloist in 2026 . That single day outsold the entire seven-day first week of his 2025 debut EP "NO LABELS: PART 01," which moved 601,105 copies .
The EP was released through Big Hit Music at 1 p.m. KST .
Who, what, when, where: the release
"NO LABELS: PART 02" is Yeonjun's second solo mini album as a member of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, issued by Big Hit Music on July 10, 2026 at 1 p.m. KST. The six-track EP closes the two-part solo arc the singer opened with "NO LABELS: PART 01" in 2025, and arrived while TXT remained active as a group rather than during any hiatus .
The tracklist runs "Vanilla," "Ice Cream," "Baby Wassup?," "No More Disco," "Fxxking Star" and "Long Way Long Ride," with "Ice Cream" serving as the title track . Yeonjun's credits go beyond performance: he took part in the choreography for "Ice Cream" and wrote lyrics for two side tracks, "Baby Wassup?" and "Long Way Long Ride" . Billboard's pre-release coverage of the tracklist and choreography snippet flagged the same split between title-track spectacle and self-written album cuts .
On the framing of the project, Yeonjun described the EP as reflecting "his growth both musically and personally," an album on which he could take "one step forward" — Yeonjun, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, via The Korea Herald.
One reporting note worth carrying: The Korea Herald describes the release day as a Friday — July 10, 2026 was a Friday — while some aggregated summaries render the date as July 11. The Big Hit-sourced stamp of July 10, 1 p.m. KST is the one used by Soompi and Billboard Philippines, and it is the date Hanteo's day-one tracking window follows.
NO LABELS: PART 02 vs. PART 01: the record by the numbers
Measured side by side, NO LABELS: PART 02 outpaced Yeonjun's 2025 debut solo EP on every domestic sales metric. Day one landed at 661,924 copies against PART 01's 542,660 — roughly 22 percent higher . The wider gap is the one that gives the record its shape: that single-day figure alone passed PART 01's entire seven-day opening of 601,105 copies, so one day of PART 02 did what a full week of PART 01 did .
| Metric | NO LABELS: PART 01 (2025) | NO LABELS: PART 02 (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Hanteo first-day sales | 542,660 copies | 661,924 copies |
| Hanteo first-week sales | 601,105 copies | 738,072 copies (July 10–16) |
| Circle Chart weekly (shipments) | Weekly album chart No. 1 | 581,091 copies, No. 1 (week published July 16) |
| Billboard 200 peak | No. 10 | No. 16 (chart dated July 25) |
Hanteo Chart logged 738,072 copies across the July 10–16 tracking window, the highest first-week total by a Korean solo artist in 2026 . The pace was visible before the week closed: three days after release, the EP already sat at No. 1 on the Hanteo Weekly Album Chart for the July 6–12 period, per Soompi.
Korea's two certifying bodies count different things, which is why the numbers diverge. Hanteo tallies point-of-sale scans from registered retailers; Circle Chart counts shipments from the distributor. On Circle, NO LABELS: PART 02 entered the weekly album chart at No. 1 with 581,091 copies for the week published July 16 — Yeonjun's second solo Circle No. 1 after PART 01 .
He also took a Circle "double crown" that week, topping both the physical album chart and the digital download chart, then repeated the same pair of No. 1s on July's monthly charts . Holding sales and downloads at once matters because the two are usually driven by different buyers — collectors on one side, casual streamers and download purchasers on the other — and PART 01 did not sweep both in the same window.
Why it matters: the global chart spread
The domestic record converted into a broad international chart footprint within two weeks of release. "NO LABELS: PART 02" debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 dated July 25, 2026, announced July 21 — Yeonjun's second solo entry on the chart after "NO LABELS: PART 01" peaked at No. 10 in 2025 . The same week it reached No. 1 on Billboard's World Albums chart and No. 4 on Top Album Sales, making it the fourth best-selling album in the United States for that tracking period, while Yeonjun re-entered the Artist 100 at No. 17 in his third week as a soloist .
The lower Billboard 200 placement against PART 01's No. 10 is less a step back than a reflection of how that chart weights streaming alongside sales; the No. 4 on Top Album Sales — a pure sales measure — is the closer comparison to the Hanteo and Circle figures. Title track "Ice Cream" also entered the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 89 .
Outside the U.S., the release spread across several markets at once:
- Japan: No. 1 on Oricon's Daily Album Ranking, Yeonjun's second consecutive Oricon daily chart-topper as a soloist .
- iTunes albums: No. 1 on the Top Albums chart in 11 regions, including Japan, Thailand and Saudi Arabia, plus No. 5 on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart and No. 10 on the European chart .
- iTunes songs: "Ice Cream" took No. 1 on Top Songs in 10 regions, including the UAE, Vietnam and the Philippines .
Read together, the spread points to a buyer base distributed across East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Gulf and Europe rather than concentrated in Korea — the kind of geographic base that shapes which cities appear on a routing plan if a solo tour follows.
Fan logistics: release party and how to watch or stream
Yeonjun's promotion cycle for "NO LABELS: PART 02" ran through three channels fans could access without a ticket: a Seoul release party, two Korean music show stages, and standard retail and streaming distribution. Big Hit Music staged the release party in Seoul on July 9, 2026, the day before the EP's 1 p.m. KST launch on July 10, and streamed it globally on Weverse LIVE, YouTube and TikTok with live performances of the new tracks plus a talk segment (source: The Korea Herald, 2026-07).
The TikTok stream drew 2.8 million viewers, which Big Hit Music described as the highest artist livestream viewership on the platform that year — a figure worth noting because it indicates how much of the audience arrived through a free, non-ticketed surface rather than a paid fan-club channel (source: Billboard Philippines, 2026-07).
On the domestic broadcast side, "Ice Cream" took trophies on KBS2's "Music Bank" and MBC's "Show! Music Core", the two weekly programs that most reliably host post-release stages for a Big Hit release (source: Soompi, 2026-07). Practical access points for fans:
- Physical EP — the six-track set ("Vanilla," "Ice Cream," "Baby Wassup?," "No More Disco," "Fxxking Star," "Long Way Long Ride") through Big Hit's official retail channels (source: Billboard Philippines).
- Digital — available on all major streaming and download platforms; the EP led iTunes Top Albums in 11 regions.
- Replays — release party and music show stages remain viewable via Weverse, YouTube and TikTok.
The concrete takeaway: no tour dates have been announced alongside PART 02, so the release party stream and the two music show stages are currently the only performance footage of this album — and the buyer base behind 738,072 first-week copies is the number to watch if solo dates follow.
