X1 made their Billboard chart debut on the Charts social 50 and Emerging Artist no. 6 and no. 11, making them the first Korean artist to land a spot on the Social 50 prior to debut. They also has sold over 500,00 physical copies of their EP in first week of sales and broke the record for having the highest first week sales for a debut album, which was a record that previously by Kang Daniel with his debut album.

My favorite member is Lee Hangyul, he was born on December 7th 1999 in Namdong-gu Icheon, South Korea. He’s my favorite member because of his visual and his dance but mostly because of his visual. Lately Hangyul is a hot topic on social media because he wore batik (from One It Indonesia) at the airport. Here’s my favorite picture of my love of my life.
