'Dimension: Answer': Enhypen break 4th-gen repackage album record with 630k pre-orders

Enhypen got 930k pre-orders and 1.1 million actual sales for their previous album 'Dimension: Dilemma'

Having announced their first repackage album, 'Dimension: Answer', in December 2021, Enhypen also launched the pre-orders for it on the same day. And since repackaged albums usually have just a couple of new songs apart from their original album tracklist, there isn’t much hype around them. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for super rookies Enhypen as they have crossed 630k pre-orders for ‘Dimension: Answer’, the repackage of 'Dimension: Dilemma'. This makes it the highest pre-ordered repackage album by a 4th-gen K-pop group.

Having debuted only in November 2020, Enhypen became the fastest and youngest K-pop group to cross 1 million sales for their first studio album, ‘Dimension: Dilemma’. The album was bound to be a million-seller since it reached 910k pre-orders. They became the first fourth-gen act to reach 500k first-day sales and crossed 800k in a week. They were the only fourth-gen act to have two albums in the top 20 of Billboard 200 at that time and also topped Hanteo, Gaon and iTunes. Enhypen is also the youngest K-pop act to get Hanteo’s ‘Initial Chodong Gold’ badge.
