Commercial performance

[edit]

As You Wish sold 49,410 copies in its first week of release according to Hanteo. It debuted at number 2 on the weekly Gaon Album Chart. The album went on to sell over 63,000 copies in the month of November 2019, thus in just 11 days, ranking 8th on the monthly Gaon Album Chart. As of April 2020, the album has sold 96,647 copies in South Korea.

The album's title track, "As You Wish" was charted at number 106 on the Gaon Digital Chart on the week ending November 23, 2019.

Despite being released in November 2019, "As You Wish" has topped the major South Korean real-time charts such as MelOn, Bugs, and Genie in the morning of New Year's Day[7] for five consecutive years from 2020 to 2024. This phenomenon has been attributed to its hopeful lyrics and the belief among MZ (Millennials and Generation Z) that the first song one listens to on New Year's Day determines their luck for the year.[8]
