K-pop group 82MAJOR (Nam Sung-mo, Park Seok-joon, Yoon Ye-chan, Jo Sung-il, Hwang Sung-bin, Kim Do-gyun) is setting the standard for step-by-step growth based on talent and musicality.

Within just two years of their debut, 82MAJOR has solidified their presence as 'performance idols' by proving their skills on stage and reinforcing their substance with musical depth. They have tangibly demonstrated their growth trajectory, increasing their concert venue size tenfold and their initial album sales by over thirteenfold.

Launched with the bold confidence of a 'complete idol' group, 82MAJOR held their first solo concert immediately after their debut. While the initial venue accommodated 300 seats, they made a powerful entrance with unwavering conviction in their performance. Since then, they have expanded their concert venues with each album release, culminating in their recent solo concert held at a 3,000-seat capacity (total of 3 performances, 1,000 seats each). Selling out all shows, they've simultaneously proven their fandom's tangible growth and their on-site competitiveness.

The growth is also evident in their album sales. Compared to their debut album, recent albums have seen initial sales (first-week sales) increase by approximately 13 times. Their debut album 'ON' sold 7,780 copies initially. This was followed by Mini 1st Album 'BEAT by 82' with 21,124 copies, Mini 2nd Album 'X-82' with 38,927 copies, and Mini 3rd Album 'SILENCE SYNDROME' with 61,398 copies, showing continuous growth with each release.

Their latest Mini 4th Album 'Trophy' recorded 103,438 copies, marking the team's first milestone of surpassing 100,000 initial sales. This unbroken upward trend clearly illustrates 82MAJOR's growth curve. The skills proven on stage have led to fandom expansion, and the resulting achievements are reflected in their album sales, distinctly demonstrating phased growth.

82MAJOR has lived up to their representative title of 'performance idols.' They have proven their abilities by delivering flawless live performances and choreography across all stages, including concerts, music shows, and festivals.

Consequently, the stage is central to all their activities. 82MAJOR meticulously refines stage details, executing messages and formations with high completeness. This identity is concentrated from their debut song 'FIRST CLASS' to their recent comeback title track 'Trophy.' They have imbued substance into the 'performance idol' moniker by precisely coordinating energy and teamwork over intense hip-hop-based beats. Furthermore, they showcase the current status of 82MAJOR, expanding from 'music to listen to' to 'music to watch' on stage.

Their music also clearly defines 82MAJOR's unique color. They have maintained genre consistency with hip-hop as their core. Amidst the trend of groups flexibly altering genres based on concepts, 82MAJOR is a rare team that has continuously developed hip-hop-based sounds. The structure, featuring rhythm-centric beat composition, rap making, and vocals, has become the team's unique narrative with each album.

Notably, all members participate in song production, establishing their identity as a 'self-producing idol' group. Beyond simple lyric and composition contributions, they directly coordinate the sound direction and nuances of the message, actively participating as creative entities. This leads to authenticity and profound musicality, positioning 82MAJOR as a team recognized for their skills in both performance and music.

Korean netizens are praising 82MAJOR's consistent growth, commenting things like, "They truly prove their skills," "I'm even more excited for their future," and "I'm happy thanks to these stage masters."
