One netizen created an online community post explaining that before, it used to be so rare for artists to sell over 500,000 albums, but now it's frequently happening.

For 2021 alone, you have 12 artists who reached the 500,000 albums milestone.

They really have a solid fandom," "Baekhyun and Lisa are really awesome. They're solo artists and still marked a high sales volume," "ENHYPEN grew so much in just one year," "I think, aside from BTS (they're the top of the top), all the k-pop groups increased in album sales," "I think BLACKPINK should be here too," and "Wow, they're all making so much money."
