Boy group NCT WISH (NCT 위시) has fired the starting gun for a successful comeback.

Released on the 20th, NCT WISH's first full-length album and its title track of the same name, 'Ode to Love', immediately reached No. 3 on Melon's TOP100 and No. 1 on Melon's HOT100 based on peak rankings, setting new all-time records for the group on these charts. All tracks from the album entered major domestic digital music charts including Melon and Bugs, signaling NCT WISH's emergence as a dominant force in digital music.

Additionally, according to domestic album sales aggregator Hanteo Chart, the album sold 1,285,184 copies on its first day of release (as of April 21), achieving million-seller status solely through one day's sales and setting a new personal record for the fastest million-seller achievement, opening the door to an unstoppable upward trajectory with this album.

With this, NCT WISH has become the third million-seller in their discography, following their second mini-album 'poppop' and third mini-album 'COLOR' released last year, continuing their dazzling career-high momentum.

Moreover, the album topped daily charts across major domestic album platforms including Hanteo Chart, Yes24, and Circle Chart Retail Album Chart. It also secured No. 1 on China's largest music platform QQ Music's digital album sales chart, earned 'Double Gold' certification for exceeding 500,000 yuan in sales, ranked No. 1 on Tencent Music's integrated K-pop chart across its five music platforms, placed No. 2 on KuGou Music's digital album sales chart, claimed No. 1 on Japan's AWA real-time rising chart, and reached No. 2 on LINE Music's real-time album ranking, proving its widespread popularity beyond Korea.

Furthermore, the 'Ode to Love' music video, featuring visuals that encapsulate so-called 'wishcore', has received positive responses by maximizing NCT WISH's unique sensibility. The pre-released track 'Sticky' music video, unveiled on the 13th, also garnered explosive attention by topping Korea's daily popular music video chart on YouTube and reaching No. 1 on QQ Music's weekly K-pop music video chart in China.

NCT WISH's first full-length album 'Ode to Love' consists of a total of 10 tracks, including the title song of the same name, and showcases the group's even clearer musical identity.
