Regarding their consecutive million seller streak the group stated, "It hasn't even been a month since our album came out, and the fact that the album sold over a million copies is unbelievable. We feel that we must work harder to match the love we have received." They continued, "These results are all because of the fans. With a grateful heart, we will continue to create good music and performances."
