According to Post Content, Most of [C=NCT] Fans Order Their Album In Ktown. Even Chinese fans who buy in bulk also buy from there.
NCT DREAM returns with a repackaged album entitled "Beatbox". A post on the Theqoo website stated that the Ktown4U site did not record the results of selling the album to as many as 200,000 copies.
According to the contents of the post, most NCT fans ordered their album in Ktown. As you can see, a total of about half a million left Ktown. Even Chinese fans who bought in huge quantities also bought them from there.
However, in reality, on May 30 or comeback day, due to the problem of album availability that is already rampant in SM, it is not reflected in sales. On the first day of the comeback, their album was sold out and even offline, it was announced that "Beatbox" was sold out.
There is a high demand for the album version of Digipack because the members decorated it themselves. However, they are stuck in a situation where there is no such supply.
Meanwhile, at Ktown4U, they announced that they were unable to record bulk purchases from Chinese fans. Ktown4U said, "We don't know when it will be available, we can't record the results." However, if you look at the official statement from the Chinese bar fan site, it's clear that Ktown4U is in charge of this.
Bar China realized that Hanteo changed their criteria for calculating album sales. On the first day, a bulk buyer group from China asked Ktown4U and Ktown4U said that they would record all first week sales.
But on the first day, only 110,000 copies out of 300,000 were recorded. They asked Ktown4U why it happened. Ktown4U suddenly changed their words and said, "We don't know when it will be in stock again, so we can't see [the result]."
"This raises the question of why they didn't tell them beforehand because Chinese bars still have other options as where to buy albums. What's even funnier is that Ktown4U said that they couldn't record it, but other websites could record the numbers well," wrote the netizen who published the post. .
"What's even more annoying is that they have already surpassed 800k in their first week of sales. If only they counted the extra 200k copies, they could become 'million seller in first week'. That would be NCT Dream's first 'million seller in first week'. repackaged album," he continued.
"I'm not just talking about Dream fans, but can we trust Ktown4U in the future for another idol album?" the lid. This post also reaped sympathy comments from netizens.
"That's crazy, what a shame... It's not like a trivial 200k album, do you know how much is in the amount of money?" netizen comments. "Wow what an unfair situation, they can reach 1 million..." said another netizen. "Who wants to buy in bulk from Ktown again in the future? Damn, I'm not a fan and I'm so upset," said another.
"But this is indeed Ktown's fault, but another problem is that the production company can't reach that level of production... I don't think I've ever seen a production company make this much..." said a netizen. "Wow... They could have surpassed 1 million..." another commented. "For fans, the first week of sales is very important... SM production for idols is very bad. I don't know when they will wake up. By the way, I will cut Ktown from now on," added another.
