According to Luminate data, J-Hope's six-track album garnered 50,000 equivalent album units within its initial seven days of availability in the US. This total included 44,000 units from album sales, along with 4,000 SEA units and 2,000 TEA units.
Notably, J-Hope's solo discography has made significant marks on the Billboard 200. His first solo EP, "Hope World," released in March 2018, debuted at No. 38 on the chart.
Despite his ongoing mandatory military service, J-Hope is expected to be discharged in October, continuing his musical endeavors thereafter.
