Two days. That’s all it took for DAY6’s **Young K** to blow past a record he set himself. His comeback with **“YOUNGEST”** isn’t just performing well — it’s rewriting his personal sales history in real time.

### What Happened?

On July 27, Young K returned with his second full-length solo album “YOUNGEST” and its title track “Shut The Door.” On its first day of sales alone, the album sold 52,698 copies, breaking his previous first-week sales record of 40,189 copies within just a single day. That earlier record had stood since his 2023 debut full album “Letters with notes.” [soompi](https://www.soompi.com/article/1858177wpp/day6s-young-k-takes-just-2-days-to-double-his-1st-week-sales-record-with-youngest)

By the end of the very next day, the numbers climbed even higher. Hanteo Chart reported that by July 28 KST, “YOUNGEST” had already sold a total of 106,461 copies — meaning the album took just two days to more than double his previous first-week record.
