BTOB Breaks Records Following 'Be Together' Release

In June 2015, BTOB dropped their first full-length album, "Complete."
On Feb. 21, they released their newest album, "Be Together," which is packed with an impressive tracklist.
"The Song," "Intro: Footsteps," "Be Together," "My Way," and "Dance With Me" are just some of the songs featured in their third regular album.
Following the release of "Be Together," BTOB reportedly broke its own first-week sales record from four years ago.
According to Hanteo Chart, "Be Together" sold over 113,000 copies during its first week of release.
The success of the group's third full album is impressive because they even beat their personal record following the release of "HOUR MOMENT" in 2018.
At the time, "HOUR MOMENT" sold 91,207 copies on its first week of release.
"Be Together" also sold more than double the first-week sales of "4U: OUTSIDE."
Prior to the release of "Be Together," BTOB went on a four-year hiatus because the members completed their military service.
During a press conference on Feb. 21, BTOB Eunkwang shared what "Be Together" is all about and said that it is about togetherness.
He also said that the title of the album shows BTOB's desire to always be next to their fans through their songs.
Hyunsik also revealed that "Be Together" was produced by two members of BTOB.
He admitted that producing their own album was quite challenging, but it was also fulfilling especially when everything was coming together.
