13,878 of those copies were sold in the first day of going on sale. An additional 13,375 copies were sold on the second day, followed by 13,4000 copies being sold the next day. "Ear Fun" has sold more copies than any of its counterparts during those days, and was even the most searched item on Hanteo Charts (updated real-time). Some of CNBLUE's "rivals" are Shinhwa, SHINee, and 2AM.

Over in Japan, CNBLUE's Japanese debut single is also doing well. Over 100,000 copies were already sold, giving the group boasting rights of having a "Gold Album". Also, their second Japanese single "Where You Are" has set a new record in the neighboring country. With that song, it was the first time in 41 years that a foreign rock band hit #1 on the Weekly Oricon chart.
