Fandoms Express Support For Groups Who Made Waves This Year

Circle Chart's announcement gained fans' attention online. They expressed their love for their favorite groups who made it on the list, as well as their unconditional support for them.

"Stray Kids' albums are selling pretty well."

"LE SSERAFIM made it too."

"TXT only had 1 comeback this year, but they are selling well!"

"If they included DREAM's winter album, they would be even higher."

"So, Stray Kids is a group that sells this well huh, wow."

Others pointed out if results like these in the past were out publicly, it would be considered as manipulation. They also emphasized how much K-pop has grown from its roots to being normalized in foreign areas.

"Kpop seriously grew in such a ridiculous way. If you showed this to me a few years ago, I'd consider this as chart manipulation."

Some congratulated the artists while voicing out album variety is an important aspect in getting accumulative results.

"Congratulations to all! As someone who has been interested in Korean and Japanese album sales for a long time, I do think it's important to look at how many comebacks a group has released and how many versions. It's super impressive to get these numbers, but I think it's important to keep that in mind."
