Korean netizens were also shocked by the incredible numbers. Many noted how difficult it was for a solo artist to achieve these numbers and stated this was proof that BLACKPINK would go down in history as one of K-Pop’s biggest groups ever.
“Wow, that is crazy AF.”
“Wow, the speed at which the numbers are rising is amazing. Is she going set a record for solo albums?”
“Why does it seem like all of a sudden, her popularity has risen like crazy? I heard Dior’s sales went through the roof recently too.”
“Wow, BLACKPINK is seriously a historic K-Pop group.”
“It’s amazing, considering how hard it is for a female solo idol to achieve these numbers.”
“Wow….”
“Wow, I think she’s going to surpass a million today.”
“LOL, wow, I thought the song came out today.”
