On January 24, KST, South Korea's largest platform that aggregates music sales, Hanteo Chart, announced that MAMAMOO member Wheein's second mini-album called "WHEE" had set a new record for the singer in terms of first-week sales.
According to Hanteo Chart, Wheein's "WHEE," which was originally released back on January 16, had sold more than 63,900 album copies in its first week of being released (from January 16 to 23).
