[BTS CONTENT] I hope with BE, no matter if it's one version or overly expensive with no bundles/playlisting/fansigns....

already 3.5M and 6.7M, lets make it 7M lovelies

And that 3.5 million is also without Chinese bars!

The bulk buying narrative should be dead in a ditch when it comes to BTS from now on.

Bulk buying accusations have been flying around in kpop at many artists even before bts was around... I’ve been around a while and have seen it happen plenty of times. Same old shit.

Ngl I wouldn’t ever take that bullshit to heart and just keep happily stanning. It’s been less stressful/annoying that way. You know they’re never gonna stop, jealousy rears its ugly head wherever you go.

very cool

LOL I can't believe that BE can sell about 3M units with that price but yeah that 7M is looking good.

Woah what? We have 3.5 for BE already. That is insane especially given the price and one version.

Ppl will not understand ever...

That Like Fav like fanfom.

BTS use their best to give us high quality, Diverse Discovery with their blood, sweat, tears... Same with we Army fandom...

We give our BTS best as BTS gives their best to their Army.

I didn’t know BE sold so well omg!!!

I wonder what excuse western media and stans are going to use to downplay bts now. They liked mentioning how many versions bts albums have while completely ignoring even worse album juicing tactics from their western artists.

when did this happen

This is physical + digital right?

That this settles the narrative of versions/bulk buying for ARMY alone. Our core active fandom is huge enough with just one version with no other incentive to buy (esp for the price) and going forward if we clown ourselves with 7M+ sales because of the regular 4 versions they usually do, no clapped kpop stan should be getting brave.

Can somebody translate this ^ for me?

Standard Edition can easily pull 2 million on Gaon, probably more.

3.5M sold for a 50 dollars album? There should be articles about this. Has any other acts (korean or western) done this before? And in how many months? BE was released in November 2020. That’s just 2 months plus ago? Right?

So many questions lol. I know the answers but damn. It just blows my mind

Don't you know that we are the 'endless pockets' fandom ? Apparently to be ARMY you gotta be rich and buy 5 albums each come back, that's the number one criteria.

I knew BE did well despite kpop & western stans saying the opposite. But damn the sales gonna def increase
