Singer EVAN has marked a successful solo debut with his first solo mini album, 'DEATH OF ME,' surpassing 500,000 copies in sales. According to Hanteo Chart, an album sales tracking site, EVAN's first mini album, released on September 7, had sold a cumulative 502,677 copies as of September 9. Surpassing 500,000 copies shortly after its release is especially meaningful as it is EVAN's first album as a solo artist.

The album also achieved notable results on global charts. 'DEATH OF ME' topped the iTunes 'Top Albums' charts in 11 countries and regions, including Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, and Türkiye, and entered the charts in a total of 34 countries and regions. On Japan's Oricon 'Daily Album Ranking,' it ranked fourth as of September 8, confirming strong interest in overseas music markets.

The music video for the title track, 'Death of Me,' is also continuing to receive a positive response. It surpassed 10 million views on YouTube on September 9 and ranked fifth on YouTube's global 'Daily Trending Music Videos' chart, while also placing in the top 10 in a total of nine countries and regions. The successive rise in album sales, chart rankings, and music video views highlights global fans' growing interest in EVAN's solo activities.

'DEATH OF ME' is an album that captures EVAN's determination to steady his tangled emotions and move forward. He personally led the album's overall production, weaving his own story into sounds across various genres. The album features alternative rock, UK garage-based pop, dream pop, and more, showcasing the musical direction EVAN envisions as a solo artist.

EVAN took his first step toward independence in June with the release of his solo debut single, 'RIDE OR DIE.' The song topped the iTunes 'Top Songs' charts in nine countries worldwide and also ranked first on Tencent Music's weekly Korean chart in China. With his first mini album now achieving half-million-seller status and strong global chart results, EVAN has further expanded his presence as a solo artist.

EVAN began his music show promotions with Mnet's 'M Countdown' on September 10. As he presents his unique music and story through performances of 'Death of Me,' attention is focused on what stages and activities he will pursue next after setting meaningful records alongside the album's release.
