Why does NCT 127 struggle with Hanteo sales?

    In top 10 best selling albums on Hanteo, besides Hybe artists, both albums are by NCT Dream. Sticker by NCT127 has 2.1 million preorders, yet the Hanteo sales is lower than Txt, who only has 1.4 million preorders? Did SM have a problem with shipping?

    My theory: NCT's fandom is pretty international. Therefore it's not unrealistic to think that to some places, the albums are not distributed so that they automatically count for Hanteo, but come with a QR code you can scan and verify the album yourself, with the help of a whosfan account. But a lot of NCTzens are also big multis. Multis tend to care less about charts, so many fans who bought the album might not realise the importance of verifying the sale on Hanteo.

    They're dumping the albums off-shore

    International? But their Spotify streams are weak too.. thought it was the fans bulk buying by the boxes and dump it on orphanages or something

    A lot of TXT albums are bought on Weverse Shop and It's a certified store on Hanteo.

    OMG at this point every anti should already know that: not all shops are Hanteo certified.

    Weverse is Hanteo certified (and TXT fans were buying from there), Target and SM are not.


    It's not a rocket science.

    BTS has a way bigger in international fanbase than any other acts and have lesser gap than nct 127.

    almost every army including the international ones use Weverse shop now and before that existed there was a similar gap. I don't think any group groups really care that much and just go for the best deals.


    this is the year end 2019 numbers

    Back then, theres less store affiliated with HT. It would be make sense if BTS the one have the largest gap because they have a lot of international fans and more unaffiliated stores want to sell their albums. Even last year MOTS is one of the best sellers in pure sales in us and jp. Suddenly other less popular group than BTS have bigger gap doesn't make sense.


    Due to HT new policy , its harder to find a kpop store that isn't affiliated with HT. Which store/part of fandom/area/country is 127 selling exclusively for this big gap between hanteo and gaon? Sm overproduce 127 album bc they thought 127 have the same selling power as dream. Obv not dreams always outselling 127

    Then why would they overship 2.4m and not 2.1m? Goofy ahh

    And dream still failed to reach Sticker's Gaon number? Lol

    Atp I'm guessing you're not even a dreamstan but actually a nct anti trying so very hard to get others to drag dream in order to defend the other units

    As a smart dreamzen, I always know that people that keep on praising Dream while shitting on 127 aren't dreamzen. They just wanna pit Dream and 127 against each other. I'm sad that dreamzens always got accuse. I hope 127zens can be smart too. Like me
