━━ ☄︎ ALBUM RECEPTION

☆ DEVIL BY THE WINDOW received 10M views in 24 hours, a pleasant increase ASPEN MEDIA had hoped to see for their official debut.

★ ASTERYX performed the track for two weeks, being nominated four times, two on THE SHOW, one on SHOW CHAMPION, and one on INKIGAYO. ASTERYX received their first and second wins on THE SHOW and SHOW CHAMPION with DEVIL BY THE WINDOW.

☆ the album was dropped alongside a video titled "EPISODE ONE : RECONNECTIONS" which was a continuation of their storyline and showcased the lives of the boys prior to being signed to the company and finding out they would be debuting together. it was also revealed via this episode that the former sixth member was planning on debuting solo under the same company, after he fully recovered.

★ VIN and EDEN were the most popular members this era mostly due to their lines and their overall vibes for the album. none of the members were considered 'least popular' this era.

☆ shortly after promotions ended, ASPEN MEDIA showed the fandom name for ASTERYX, which was revealed to be ASTARIX; the fans were the stars to ASTERYX and to avoid confusion, the spelling was adjusted to be different.

★ this era was also the start of ASTERYX's first official reality series titled AX'S NIGHT OUT, which premiered on MNET and had a total of four episodes. they still released AX-CAM footage during the filming of the reality show, but for the four weeks it was primarily behind the scenes or dorm/daily life footage.

☆ all songs on PAY THE PRICE charted on domestic and international charts, the peak being TINNITUS as it reached number 5 on genie, WE LOST THE SUMMER re-peaked at 15 on bugs and genie, and the lowest being SCAR which peaked at 57 on flo and melon.
