At 4:30 p.m. KST on the 21st, the mini-album already sold a total of 29,578 copies. It went on to sell 38,203 copies by the end of the day. Youngjae's "SUGAR" almost doubled the idol's previous first-day sales record of 19,718 copies set by his debut album "COLORS from Ars."

It is also worth noting that the first-day sales figure of Youngjae's "SUGAR" is just 7,730 copies less than the first-week sales of "COLORS from Ars" (45,933 copies).
As the GOT7 member still has six days to go before his official first-week sales period ends, it remains to be just how much higher the sales will increase over the following days.
Congratulations to Youngjae on his new highest first-day sales!
