Capitol Music Group's SuperM Makes Super Chart Debut

Congratulations!

Congratulations to CAPITOL MUSIC GROUP, whose all-star group SUPERM debuted #1 on the Top 200 chart with "The 1st Mini Album SUPERM'. The occasion is historic, as they are the first debut K-Pop act to do so. SUPERM also set the record for biggest ever debut sales in the U.S. by a K-Pop artist. The five-track EP was released as a joint venture between SM ENTERTAINMENT and CAPITOL MUSIC GROUP with distribution via CAROLINE.

The members of SUPERM commented, "It’s like a dream come true. We are happy that our new challenge achieved such great results, and we would like to thank everyone who believed in us and supported us."

Producer SOO-MAN LEE said, "As a producer, I am proud of the members for joining me in this new challenge and I am also grateful for the KOREAN and global fans who supported us. I am very happy to partner with STEVE BARNETT and CMG and I look forward to the greater things we will do together. This is a result of the support and effort of all SM employees and other staff members."

CMG Chairman/CEO STEVE BARNETT replied, "SUPERM made history today. Congratulations to the group, producer SOO-MAN LEE, SM ENTERTAINMENT and everyone at CAPITOL and CAROLINE. This is only the beginning. There’s lots more to come from SUPERM!"

The group's first ever live performance was at the landmark CAPITOL RECORDS tower on OCTOBER 5 and was live-streamed by more than two million fans. Their world television debut followed OCTOBER 9th on THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW where they performed their debut single, Jopping. A video of the band teaching the host how to 'jop' went viral, hitting 1 million views in 12 hours, while the official video for the song has garnered over 25 million views in its first week of release.

A series of live shows, titled We Are The Future Live, starts NOVEMBER 11th and will include stops at NYC's MADISON SQUARE GARDEN and THE FORUM in LOS ANGELES.
