Why? Do I look like a fan of an artist whose album ARIRANG just made K-pop history by going No.1 on the Billboard 200 for three consecutive weeks, becoming the first group album to do so since Babel by Mumford & Sons in 2012, remaining the only Korean act ever to achieve that milestone, earning 124,000 units this week including 71,000 pure sales, posting 532,000 first-week pure sales - the biggest weekly sales for a group album in more than a decade - and casually treating the Billboard 200 like a long-term residence?
