Group Infinite member Nam Woo-hyun has achieved a solo career high in first-week sales.
Released on the 30th of last month, Nam Woo-hyun's fifth mini album 'Tree Ring' recorded over 44,000 copies in first-week sales (sales from the album's release over the first week), setting a new personal best.
This figure significantly surpasses the first-week sales of his first regular album 'WHITREE', released in 2023, and reaffirms his musical growth as a solo artist and the explosive interest from global fans.
'Tree Ring', meaning tree rings, symbolizes the maturity of a tree. It not only showcases the musically matured aspect of Nam Woo-hyun, but also conveys a promise to continue growing musically and connecting with fans, like a ring, one of his symbols.
The title track 'Only, Go Straight' is a rock and roll track depicting a pure pursuit of love over fierce guitar riffs and powerful drum beats. The message of choosing to go straight toward only one person delivers both intense and refreshing energy to listeners on hot summer days.
The music video for 'Only, Go Straight,' featuring Nam Woo-hyun transformed into a baseball player and actor Song Ji-woo, who starred in 'Squid Game Season 2', has surpassed 1 million views on YouTube, maintaining its heated popularity.
Having achieved a career high in first-week sales, Nam Woo-hyun has successfully marked his return as a 'premium vocalist' and is actively promoting with his new song 'Only, Go Straight'.
