The original soundtrack for TV animation series "Bastions" was released the previous day.

The song claimed the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Top Songs charts in these countries, including the United States, France and Australia, as of 9 a.m., Big Hit Music said.

"The Planet" is the septet's new song as a full lineup in nearly a year since "Yet To Come," which was released in June 2022.
