ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo has reached over 210,000 initial sales. 

Cha Eun-woo released his first solo mini-album "ENTITY" on the 15th. The album sold 217,133 copies (album sales in a week of release). 

This kind of record makes him one of the top 20 male K-pop solo artists of all time. He ranked 18th after J-Hope, D.O., and Kai. 

The new album has gained global popularity. It topped iTunes' "Top Album" chart in 21 countries/regions (as of Saturday). These include Brazil, Japan, Spain, and Denmark. 

Not only that. It was listed in top 10 in 34 countries/regions. Vietnam, Russia, and Thailand ranked second. Turkiye, Indonesia, and Malaysia ranked third. 

The title track "STAY" was also loved. It ranked top 10 in 13 countries/regions. It was ranked top in seven countries including Argentina, Mexico, Peru and Chile.

"ENTITY" is Cha Eun-woo's first solo album in eight years since his debut. He honestly expressed various emotions he felt as artist Cha Eun-woo and Lee Dong-min, his main persona.

"STAY" is a country pop song. It conveys a message of consolation to those who broke up. The calm yet powerful guitar performance is harmonized with Cha Eun-woo's emotional tone.
