first things first, thank you @xingstallion for this comprehensive thread since I didn't collect data on AAAF https://twitter.com/xingstallion/status/1113040633978073088

How Beautiful Goodbye did in the first few hours on korean music sites

tbh back before he debuted we were so so worried since late Mar 2019 chart was dominated by digital monsters
Taeyeon - Four Seasons
Jang Beom June - Every moment with you
not to mention IZ*ONE releasing new album BLOOM*IZ on the same date & BOL4 that released a song on Apr 2

but Beautiful Goodbye turned out to be loved by the general public especially among Korean men, it got over 900k unique listeners on Melon within 24 hours (data above)

oh I should thank IU for posting an instastory on Apr 1 about Flower (1st track on AAAF, composed by Kim Je-hwi who worked with IU in Through the Night before)
she helped to promote Jongdae in a way

Chen got his 1st win on MBC Music Core & 2nd win on SBS Inkigayo.
FYI it's really hard to win on Inki because of the high requirement on digital chart performance yet he did it https://twitter.com/b2utifulife/status/1249719544316231680

up to today, Beautiful Goodbye is the song with the highest total unique listeners on Genie from any EXO members (ok sorry if my English is kinda messy but you can refer to this thread I did) https://twitter.com/b2utifulife/status/1244925457021059072
