Epik High’s done something wonderful with new album

Hip-hop trio Epik High is sweeping music charts at home and overseas with its long-awaited ninth full-length album “We’ve Done Something Wonderful.”

Since their release on Monday evening, the album’s two lead tracks “Home is Far Away” and “Love Story,” each featuring singer Oh Hyuk and IU, quickly cruised to the top of seven local music charts including Melon and Naver Music.

Other tracks from the album -- which feature star-studded artists such as Crush, Suhyun of AKMU, Kim Jong-wan of Nell, Song Min-ho of Winner, Simon Dominic, The Quiett and Lee Hi -- also secured high spots on music charts. 

The album went strong on foreign music charts, topping the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 10 countries including Columbia, Peru, Vietnam and Hong Kong.

Following the release of its new album, Epik High will hold solo concerts, which will take place on Nov. 3 and 4 at Blue Square Samsung Card Hall in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
