The children's educational comic "Mellow TV Team Nappa 1" topped Yes24's overall bestseller ranking in the first week of June. It is the first comic book released by "Mellow TV," a YouTube channel with 900,000 subscribers. Buyers in their 40s accounted for 77 percent, suggesting that demand for gifts for children drove sales.

Ranking second was "My First Real Estate Textbook" by author Song Hee-gu. Following his previous work, "The Story of Manager Kim Who Owns a Home in Seoul and Works at a Large Corporation," this new release also explains the principles of real estate investment in a novel format tailored to beginners.

"Park Gom-hee's Pension Wealth Class" by author Park Gom-hee rose to seventh place, boosted by the publication of a limited edition commemorating sales of 250,000 copies. Interest in philosophy books also continued. The Nietzsche philosophy book "Nietzsche's Transcendent" recorded eighth place, while "Sophie's World," considered a classic introductory philosophy book, climbed back up to 19th place.
