Jaebum's solo album "There's nothing left to sell"
Scarce supply of albums, 2nd production is in the works

There is only a scarce supply of Jaebum's solo albums left.

'Count On Me' was released on the 13th and has shown an impressive speed of sales. According to album research site Hanteo Informations, Jaebum recorded 26,983 album sales within 3 days as of the 15th at 5 PM.

Such speed helped Jaebum's album rank #10 in overall album sales. The popularity of the album can also be found in retail stores. Retail stores are competing against one another in securing the most Jaebum albums. They have reached a point where it is difficult to even secure enough for sale, causing the producers to go in for a 2nd round of production.

An associate of Warner Music Korea stated, "There was about 20,000 in pre-orders that was out within a day. We produced 20,000 as extra and they are being sold in retail stores quickly. We then received extra orders so we made another 10,000. Basically, within 3 days, there's about 50,000 copies of Jaebum's album out in the market right now."

Companies are looking at Jaebum's appearance with jealousy and yet envy. Jaebum hasn't even been out promoting the album and has received such outstanding results, causing others to be on alert. Groups that are currently promoting are watching by while wondering how long this 'Jaebum Effect' will last.

Groups that are currently preparing to release their albums are also observing Jaebum's results. One team with a similar music style to Jaebum has decided to delay their album release to late summer or early fall. One associate stated, "It's not only Jaebum but the entire Korean music industry that's running around. We've been preparing a male solo singer but have decided to delay the release date."
