Kim Hyun-joong has set the record for selling the most number of singles in a day in Japan.
The website of the prestigious Oricon chart reported on Wednesday that Kim achieved the feat after selling close to 72,000 copies of his Japanese debut single "KISS KISS/Lucky Guy" on the day of its release which placed him second on yesterday's Oricon daily chart.
Kim's new record, released in three versions, has also taken over the first three slots of Japan's Tower Record singles chart.
Kim, one of Korea's most popular celebrities in the Asia region and particularly in Japan, will mark his official debut in Japan with an event commemorating the release of his single at the Yokohama Arena in the Kanagawa Prefecture on February 5.
