According to the RIAJ, ENHYPEN was given their first-ever official double platinum certification for their second Jaanese single album, "DIMENSION: SENKOU."
Since its release back on May 3 of this year, ENHYPEN's latest album has since then shipped over 500,000 units until today.

In addition to "DIMENSION: SENKOU," ENHYPEN also received a gold certification in Japan for their Korean debut mini album "BORDER: DAY ONE," which was originally released back on November 30, 2020, and has more than 100,000 units since its release.
This also means that "BORDER: DAY ONE" has become the only Korean debut album to receive a certification by the RIAJ in Japan, setting a new feat for the Korean boy group.
With the two new additions to their certifications in Japan, ENHYPEN also sets a new record, becoming the first and only K-Pop artist to have all of their released albums be officially certified by the RIAJ since their debut.
