Just two days after their debut, ZB1's album sales exceeded one million, but it was discovered that a large portion of the albums were discarded?!

In the KPOP industry, it is not uncommon for fans to buy albums in large quantities to support their favorite artists and boost sales. Moving albums is often seen as a common practice within fan circles, and it is an unspoken agreement among fans. However, there have been numerous instances where improper handling or disregard for the albums after purchase has been observed, leading to criticism and labeling it as wasteful.

The boy group SEVENTEEN recently released their 10th mini album, "FML," on April 24th this year. Notably, they achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing 4.55 million sales in the first week, setting a new record for the highest "first-week initial sales" in K-pop history. However, the release became subject to controversy when fans were discovered randomly discarding albums, sparking discussions and raising concerns within the fandom.

Many netizens who observed this concerning behavior expressed their opinions, stating, "Even though this is not the first time such actions have occurred, why purchase albums if they are just going to be discarded?" "It generates a significant amount of waste." "It is truly detrimental to the environment." "Although it is a common practice in K-pop culture, can we not litter like this?" "If the idols were aware of this, they would probably feel embarrassed, wouldn't they?" These comments reflect the concerns raised by netizens regarding the improper handling of albums and its environmental impact.
