Welcome to all Hallyuplusers to the Physical Sales Thread in the forum!
In this thread you will find all the information about sales in Korea of all K-POP groups and soloists, whether idols, indie artists or rock.
I started compiling group sales, but step by step I started to integrate idol (and not idols) soloists into my compilations, so I will try to provide, at least, the sales of successful soloists.
I must say that sales from 1998 began to be announced in South Korea, so sales prior to 1998 have been added with k-media and others as sources.
