Company should limit how much a person can buy the album to avoid wastage

Put all the members pc in one album, no special pc, lucky draw for fansign. No one is listening to cd nowadays so physical album has actually lost the relevancy. Any thought?

lmao you think companies actually care about the environment and not profits

why would the company do that when they can do it individually and make more money.

I mean, if you want only groups from the Big 4 and a handful of solo artists.

Companies need money to produce groups. Idols need money to continue in this career path that they've chosen.

Honestly, the conversation around wastage and albums is so unnecessary. There are a thousand other areas where greater sustainability is warranted, and yet you choose to get on your high horse about an issue that impacts a miniscule percentage of the world's population. Talk about first-world problems.

K-Pop companies are structured to wring as much money out of fans as possible, and some of them still appear to be struggling. If they did what you suggest we'll see a lot of smaller companies fold.

I suppose an option is to charge crazy money for an album, like $100. But people are weird and buying 10 x $10 albums will always feel more palatable than 1 for $100.

Company should just sell those merchandise(photocard, poster) inside the album instead of CD and the outside box and sell the same price people will still buy.

Companies don't care because it's what makes them money, but I think there needs to be a new chart established just like with Oricon in Japan where a certain number of bulk orders do not count toward the charts. That way, companies can still make their money but we will be able to see the true legitimacy of groups that are actually popular.
