On the same day, it was recorded by Hanteo to have sold over 600,000 copies in South Korea, a new record for the most first-day sales of a K-pop sub-unit.[9]
On November 22, they performed at the Dream Concert festival in Abu Dhabi.[10][11] On November 28, Pledis announced the pair's Double Up Live Party tour, visiting five cities across Asia in early 2026 between Seventeen's dates on the New_ World Tour.[12]
