Girl group aespa’s first EP “Savage” has sold over 500,000 units in the 15 days since its release on Oct. 5, its agency SM Entertainment said Thursday.  
 
“For a rookie group who has only been active for 11 months, the sales are exceptionally high,” SM evaluated. 
 
Exact sales were 513,292 units, according to data compiled by the agency until Wednesday.  
 
"Savage" reached No. 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, the highest ever for a K-pop girl group’s first physical EP. “Savage” also entered nine other Billboard charts such as Artist 100, World Albums chart, Independent Albums chart and Billboard Global 200.
