MOMOLAND clears up suspicions of CD hoarding...investigation reveals "not applicable"


MLD Entertainment said, "On the 25th, album retailer Mihwadan Records posted an apology regarding MOMOLAND album hoarding through its official cafe.


The published apology states that after an investigation by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, it was concluded that both the first and second albums "do not constitute hoarding, which is an act of a related party purchasing in large quantities," which falls under Article 26 of the Music Production Act.


MOMOLAND's third mini album "GREAT!", released on January 3rd, had daily sales of 8,261 copies on February 12th, which raised suspicions that MOMOLAND had hoarded the album, but as the issue grew, Hanteo Chart submitted a petition to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the competent authority.


After an investigation, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism concluded that both the first and second sales fall under Article 26 of the Music Production Act, "and do not apply to hoarding, which is the act of an interested party purchasing in large quantities," and conveyed this to the investigation requester.


(From K-POP News)


MOMOLAND's third mini album "GREAT!" was released on January 3rd. It all started when they sold 8,261 copies in just one day on February 12th.


This led to suspicions that MOMOLAND had hoarded the album, and the issue quickly spread.


Some sales charts caused a commotion and petitions were submitted to the relevant ministries, and the popularity of MOMOLAND, which had just begun to rise as a new girl group, was instantly thrown into disarray.


The number of posts criticizing this on the Internet increased, and it seemed that MOMOLAND's popularity had reached its limit.


However, the title track "Boom Boom" is music with boundless brightness and generosity that embraces and repels all of that.


The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has now concluded after an investigation that neither the first nor second investigations constituted hoarding, an act of a related party purchasing in large quantities, which falls under Article 26 of the Music Production Act, and has conveyed this to the party that requested the investigation.


A representative from MOMOLAND's agency also said, "Since the results of the first and second investigations by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism showed that it did not constitute hoarding, we are glad that the misunderstanding was cleared up.


We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who believed in and supported us until the end. We hope that this will put an end to the hoarding issue, and MLD Entertainment and MOMOLAND will work harder in the future to do their part to contribute to the development of K-pop." For MOMOLAND, who have recently joined the ranks of the most popular girl groups amidst the constant sarcasm and criticism from their haters, this incident from just a few months ago has become a familiar one.


MOMOLAND is about to embark on their summer comeback.


The "Teaser" from their comeback song "BAAM" has also been released, and it looks like the colors of the tropical "Southeast Asia" will dominate girl music this summer.


This season seems just right for MOMOLAND, who set the pace with "boom boom".
