KickFlip’s KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1 Tops Hanteo Weekly Album Chart With 521,643 Copies

According to allkpop, KickFlip’s fifth mini album, KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1, claimed the top spot on the Hanteo Chart’s weekly album ranking for the second week of October. The record was released on October 6, and the chart period ran from October 5 to 11, so the rankings captured the album’s first full week on the market.

The album sold 521,643 copies during that tracking window, enough to finish ahead of every other release in the week. Hanteo’s weekly ranking is one of the most closely watched benchmarks in the Korean music industry because it is built on physical album sales, and the album index for the week reached 499,265.90 points. For a group that is still expanding its audience, a first-place finish in a crowded market is a clear sign of how strongly fans have responded to the new release.

The week’s chart also offered a snapshot of the wider October comeback season. Yesung’s second full album placed second, and N.Flying’s ninth mini album finished third. Those three results show how many established and rising acts are competing for attention this month, and how quickly a well-supported release can translate into large numbers of physical copies.

The title “Pt. 1” suggests that the album is the first installment in a larger series, so fans can expect further releases from KickFlip as the project continues. Groups in this position often use early chart success to plan promotions, tours and merchandise, and this result gives KickFlip a strong base to build on.

Chart figures can change as tracking periods continue, so the numbers above reflect the weekly report cited by allkpop. Either way, this week marks a measurable milestone in the group’s comeback and a strong start for the series.
