Editor’s Take
The firm facts here are the release date and time, the five-song count, the two promoted tracks, Ahn Ji-young’s credit on all five songs, and the Chae Jong-hyeop video. The anniversary link comes from Nocut News’s report on the release timing. We found no chart or sales results for October Archive, and no tour or fan-meeting dates, so this post does not assess how the album is doing. That is our reading of the sources listed here.
