SEOUL, July 7 (Yonhap) -- K-pop rookie boy group ENHYPEN's mini-album 'BORDER: 儚い', released in Japan on the 6th, topped the Oricon daily singles chart with sales of 152,254 album copies, according to the K-pop act's agency Belift Lab on Wednesday. 

This album contains Japanese versions of pre-released Korean songs "Given-Taken" and "Let Me In (20 CUBE)," as well as Enhypen's original Japanese song "Forget Me Not." "Forget Me Not" is earning popularity for being used as the opening song for the Japanese TV anime "Re-Main."

Enhypen, which includes Japanese member Nikki, garnered local fans even before the group's official debut in Japan after Mnet's global audition program "I-LAND" that picked the members, aired in the country.

Last year, the seven-piece act ranked first and second on the Oricon daily and weekly album charts with its debut album "Border: Day One." 

Since then, the group's second EP "Border: Carnival," released in Apri, has topped the weekly album chart for two consecutive weeks as well as the monthly album chart.

 

Enhypen have also been selected as the first overseas acts to become a fixed DJ for "All Night Japan X, a famous Japanese radio program.
