Seventeen have just released their new album 17 Is Right Here with 33 sound.
They became the first kpop group to have 3 albums with 2 million copies sold.
However, the number of album purchases does not correspond to the number of streams. They have collected 404k streams in the Spotify global? And we’re only starting with 1 million streams on the Spotify counter? The netizen found it suspicious.
It turns out that the netizen’s suspicions were real, and photos have emerged showing the Carats buying masses and hundreds of boxes filled with the new seventeen album.
The Seventeen albums were thrown in the streets of shibuya .

It’s sad that Seventeen has been working hard for over 8 years for their fans, but in the end they’ve been sabotaged by CARATS too.
Knetz reacts to this:
1. The truth is that fans are paying for trash
2. This means all of K-pop’s first week album sales are meaningless.. If you look at the records, they’re on par with Adele and Taylor Swift
3. The album is really useless. This culture needs to end
4. I think it is right to impose an environmental tax on idol albums
5. Nowadays, album sales are meaningless. K-pop needs to change now. Is this the age where album sales and digital music can be #1 as long as you have the money?
6. They must be so happy because they sold millions of copies
7. HYBE again?
8. K-pop culture is getting weird
9. That’s why I don’t believe in first week album sales
10. How do singers feel when they see their albums thrown away like that?
11. That’s why they sell millions of copies
12. What’s the point of selling millions of copies when the album is thrown away like this?
