[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] The group SF9 is emerging as a leading idol by consecutively winning first place on music shows.

On the 17th, SF9 took the top spot on KBS2's 'Music Bank' with their new song "Good Guy," marking their first win on terrestrial broadcasting.

Earlier, on the 16th, SF9 achieved their first-ever first place on Mnet's 'M Countdown' after 3 years and 3 months since their debut.

Having released their first full-length album 'FIRST COLLECTION,' SF9 is showing an upward trend in both album sales and digital charts.

According to Hanteo Chart, SF9's first full album 'FIRST COLLECTION,' released on the 7th, sold approximately 69,000 copies in its initial week, topping both the daily and weekly charts (week 2 of January: sales from the 6th to the 12th). This is nearly 2.5 times the initial sales of their previous album 'RPM,' released last July.

SF9 also broke their own record on digital charts. The title track "Good Guy" entered Melon’s real-time chart at 58th place, surpassing their previous best with "Don't Be Pretty," which peaked at 81st. Notably, the song even climbed as high as 33rd on the same chart, proving its popularity.

SF9 made a comeback after about seven months by releasing their first full album 'FIRST COLLECTION' on the 7th. Currently, SF9 is actively promoting their comeback with the song "Good Guy."

SF9 is a nine-member boy group that debuted in 2016. Since then, they have promoted with songs such as "O Sole Mio," "MAMMA MIA," and "RPM."
