Debuting rookie boy group MODYSSEY (모디세이) has announced the birth of a "monster rookie" by achieving overwhelming success immediately upon debut.

MODYSSEY (모디세이, Han Wei, Pan Zeyi, Li Zihao, Lin Lin, Shuren, Li Chen, Rowan) surpassed the 300,000-copy first-week sales mark with a total of 302,026 copies sold on the Hanteo Chart Weekly Album Chart (April 13–19), securing a spot in the top two among rookie groups debuting in 2026 and leaving a powerful first impression on the music industry. This record is particularly meaningful as their journey, forged through two audition programs, has translated into tangible results.

MODYSSEY has continued a packed schedule of debut activities, appearing consecutively on Mnet's "M Countdown" on the 16th, KBS 2TV's "Music Bank" on the 17th, MBC's "Show! Music Core" on the 18th, and SBS's "Inkigayo" on the 19th.

Notably, they enhanced viewer enjoyment by maximizing concepts on every stage. The detailed stage composition and camera direction, reflecting the song's worldview, earned them the nickname "stage connoisseurs," showcasing a level of polish unexpected for a newly debuted rookie group.

MODYSSEY is also devoting special affection to communicating with fans who have shown endless love and support since their debut. They expressed fan love through a "reverse gift" event of unprecedented scale, drawing intense interest from a global fandom and generating a fervent response, including appearing on X (formerly Twitter)'s real-time trending topics.

MODYSSEY has confirmed appearances at "KCON JAPAN 2026" in Chiba Prefecture's Makuhari Messe from May 8 to 10, and at the "Mega Concert" at Incheon Yeongjongdo Inspire Arena on May 30.
