Top 5 Best Selling Korean albums for groups, male soloists and female soloists

BTS

BTS 4/5 pretty good for a group that peaked in 2018

That font though

BTS and Seo Taiji!

Its still weird how good he was at spotting his successors back in 2017, before any US promo and before Her.

Also, in case this would include non-Korean language albums by Korean artists, then BOA has some huge sales:

Valenti: 1 249 197

Listen To My Heart: 932 000

Love & Honesty: 653 630

BTS slaying the list

Thats in Korea i believe ? I'm sure BoA sold more than 600k too...

BTS is probably going to occupy top 5 for groups.

Also the male solo is list looks hard to crack but I hope bts solos make it into that list.

Woah BTS dominates top 4 albums.

Wow bts having top 4! kings!!!

I’m really suprised to not see boa on the female list but wow Lee so ra killing it !

Dazzling!

BTS TOP 4

i'm impressed by the Male Soloists but i can't believe no one has cracked that top 5 since 1997

who knows.... BTS have surprised as more than once... that said... it'll probably be a while before we get physical albums for their solos

Yup, I kinda think maknae line can get it, but I hope hyung line surprises us and proves me wrong.

Wow BTS.

I think if the solo albums would actually be promoted and would receive as many versions as most current albums do, they would make it.

If they had (online) fansigns like everyone except BTS (I think?), it would be almost guaranteed. Solo stans would buy like crazy to get this chance.

I think the first one to get official solo debut (no matter who) can break the record. Coz it'll be huge (& sort of long due) that finally(!) one of the BTS' members is doing non BTS activity.

After that it might tail off because of continuos solo activities but if anything I have learned from this fandom that is to never underestimate.

PS : I think one of Tae or JK will be the one start their solo activities. Can be RM as well to lead from the front.

Edit :

Huge respect for BoA who opened up a japanese market for korean musicians.
