Love (S.E.S. album)

Love (Korean: 러브; Leobeu) is the third Korean studio album by S.E.S., released in October 29, 1999, by SM Entertainment. It sold 760,475 copies and became the second best-selling Korean girl group album at the time, only behind The Pearl Sisters' My Dear (1968). The lead single of the same name was promoted along with another single "Twilight Zone".

Background and release
The album includes "talk" tracks recorded by the group members before and after each song. Two singles were released from the album: "Love" and "Twilight Zone". The latter single uses the metaphor of a "twilight zone" to represent a state of uncertainty, with its lyrics containing themes of the complexities of love and longing. The song achieved a first place music program award on SBS's Inkigayo.

In Japan, the title track "Love" was recorded in Japanese and released as a single on April 21, 2000. The single was promoted as "Love ~Itsumademo Onje Kajima~" and featured the track "Round and Round" as a b-side. However, it was not commercially successful, peaking at only number 100 on the Oricon Singles Chart with sales of 2,030 copies. In November 2016, "Love" was remade as "Love [Story]" as part of S.E.S.'s 20th anniversary album Remember (2017).

Commercial performance
Love was a commercial success in South Korea upon its release, peaking at number one of the MIAK monthly album chart in October 1999 with 550,030 copies sold. It sold 723,528 total copies in 1999 and was one of the year's best-selling releases. It continued to show strong sales the following year, having accumulated total sales of 760,475 copies by the end of 2000. It remained the second best-selling album by a girl group in South Korea for 21 years until Blackpink's The Album (2020).
