Oh okay , I see.
I guess years of hard dedication from the chinese fandoms have created that mindset, not that its right of course.

they joined the crowd

because chinese bars work as large group orders for fans in china. it is both cheaper and easier for chinese fans to purchase their albums through bars. chinese bars for every idol and group organize these group orders. it's not one single rich person buying 10k albums.
and the bulk buy phenomenon is not exclusive to chinese fans, or boy group fans for that matter.

Since they are very organized and concentrate in just one country, people cherrypick them a lot. I bet any other country has people who buy just as a much as one chinese citizen, but since It's a solo puchasing and It's impossible to monitorate, people don't really care.
There are people there who buy 100 albums and people who buy just 1 in the group order like anywhere.

China has a population almost 100x bigger than Korea. It's not really bulk buying when you think about it.

Could be, and just like the other commenter mentioned it is mainly driven as group purchases, and thats probably why they stand out

Groups used to get dragged for not having fans. Now they get dragged for having fans?

Haters should pick a narrative and stick to it

It's really interesting, cause I remember that, during their God's Menu/Back Door they were getting great streams for a group that used to sell around 300k back then.
Some K-pop stans used to drag them for having too many casual listeners and this interest wasn't translated into fandom power and physical sales.
Now they are dragged, because their fans buy albums...

The argument chinese sales = bulk buy happen when certain fanbase wants to discredit sales from groups like Blackpink aespa and now SKZ which has huge support there. People are just pressed. Stay pressed they will still get the sales

Well it's around 20 times bigger but based on your analogy, China should slaughter America for being the biggest Music Market in the World.
The simple fact is, China based fans are notorious for bulk buying Korean albums for the sole purpose of their biases charting high or selling more than other Kpop Groups.
There is nothing wrong with fans that bulk buy but there is a problem when fans try to use those numbers to claim their bias is more popular
