SEVENTEEN Achieves Second Platinum Certification in Japan

K-pop group SEVENTEEN (에스쿱스, 정한, 조슈아, 준, 호시, 원우, 우지, 디에잇, 민규, 도겸, 승관, 버논, 디노) has added another platinum certification to their accolades from the Japan Record Association. As of June 26, 2025, their song '손오공' from the mini album 'FML' has surpassed 100 million streams on local music platforms as of May. This marks SEVENTEEN's second platinum certification, following their first for '아주 NICE' in September of last year. The Japan Record Association awards certifications based on streaming numbers, categorizing them as Gold (over 50 million), Platinum (over 100 million), and Diamond (over 500 million).

In addition to '손오공', SEVENTEEN has received multiple Gold certifications for tracks such as 'Fallin' Flower (舞い落ちる花びら)', '만세', 'Ready to love', '박수', 'Darl+ing', 'HOT', 'HIT', 'Rock with you', 'Left & Right', '예쁘다', '울고 싶지 않아', and the special unit BSS (부석순) with '파이팅 해야지 (Feat. 이영지)'.

The song '손오공' draws parallels between SEVENTEEN's journey and the character Sun Wukong, depicting growth through trials and tribulations. Upon its release in 2023, it spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Global 200 and has since accumulated over 200 million streams on Spotify, showcasing its enduring popularity.

The mini album 'FML', which features '손오공', achieved nearly 4 million sales on its release day and has sold over 6.2 million copies within two months, setting a record for the highest sales of a single K-pop album.

Additionally, SEVENTEEN's fifth studio album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY' has also seen remarkable success, recording initial sales of 2.52 million copies, the highest for any K-pop album released this year. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, tying SEVENTEEN's highest chart position, and remained on the chart for three consecutive weeks.
