Tomorrow X Together (TXT) member Yeonjun's solo career is shining simultaneously in the Japanese and American markets. Yeonjun's second mini-album, 'NO LABELS: PART 02', ranked 2nd on the Japanese Oricon Weekly Combined Album Chart (compiled July 13–19) as of July 27. This is one step higher than the 3rd place record set by his first solo release last year.

His achievements in the U.S. market are equally striking. On the July 25 Billboard charts, the second mini-album 'NO LABELS: PART 02' landed at No. 16 on the 'Billboard 200,' the main album chart. This marks the highest ranking for an album released by a Korean solo artist this year. With this achievement, Yeonjun has successfully entered the 'Billboard 200' for two consecutive times following his first solo album, while also recording 1st place on the World Albums chart and 4th place on Top Album Sales.

The response in Korea is also fervent. With the title track 'Ice Cream,' he achieved two music show wins, taking 1st place on KBS2 'Music Bank' and MBC 'Show! Music Core,' respectively. The album recorded 661,924 copies sold in Korea on its release day, marking the highest first-day sales for a Korean solo artist album this year. Yeonjun is scheduled to continue his promotions by appearing on Mnet 'M Countdown' on July 23.
