According to the September 2017 album chart released by Gaon Chart on the 13th, 'LOVER YOURSELF 承 'Her'' recorded sales of 1,203,533 copies in the 13 days after its release on September 18th, ranking first in the month. became.
This is the highest sales volume in the history of the Gaon chart, and the monthly sales of a single album for the first time in 16 years since God's 4th album (1,441,209 copies, Korea Music Industry Association) in November 2001. It is a great achievement that it has sold over 1.2 million copies.

Gaon, I picked up past data on album charts.
★ Year Work name Singer name Number of sales
2010 Bonamana Super Junior
2011 The Boys Girls' Generation 385,348
2012 Sexy, Free & Single Super Junior 356,431
2013 XOXO (Kiss Ver.) EXO 335,823
2014 OverdoseEXO-K 385,047
2015 EXODUS (Korean Ver.) EXO 478,856
2016 WINGS BTS 751,301
2017 "LOVER YOURSELF 承 'Her'" BTS 1200,000
It can be seen that the sales of the "god" 4th album (1,441,209 copies, Korea Music Industry Association) are outstanding.
This is because it was an era when streaming and download formats were not sold.
So even if you compare it with BTS's 1.2 million albums, it's just a matter of numbers.
No figures have been released for Super Junior's "Bonamana" in 2010. Since the influence of the K-POP boom is still scarce, the numbers are expected to drop significantly.
In 2011, when the K-POP boom began to spread around the world, the number of 300,000 units began to line up from Girls' Generation's "The Boys".
Followed by Super Junior (2012), EXO (2013), EXO-K (2014), and EXO (2015), and BTS sold 750,000 copies last year.
Looking at the data, EXO appeared around the time the K-POP boom bottomed out, and sales are increasing year by year.
Entering 2015, the impression is that it has sold 470,000 copies and has made a big splash. It can be seen that it has started to play a big role as the spark of the second K-POP boom. It can be said that it was BTS for boys and TWICE for girls (demonstrating their strengths in digital sound sources) that turned the boom that EXO ignited into a strong driving force and thickness.
The 1.2 million copies sold this time are proof that the globalization of K-POP is gaining momentum. I don't know if BTS will achieve 2 million units next, but I think there will be a group that will achieve that in the next 2-3 years.
