The purpose of Director Kim's call was very simple. It was just to share some good news with Liu Xin'an about Red Velvet's success in pre-sales this time.
In today's digital age, buying physical albums is something only fans would do.
Therefore, the sales of albums nowadays have significantly less value compared to the past.
However, the company still values these figures, and they serve as proof of Red Velvet's popularity.
Bae Juhyun and her team analyzed that the success in pre-sales this time was largely attributed to the variety show they did in China and the recent hype of the "Anpei Law." S-M's investigation into this matter was even more straightforward.
Previously, Bae Juhyun had a lot of personal fans, but never to this extent.
Since she and Liu Xin'an started subtly promoting the "couple" pairing and guiding the public opinion... her previously somewhat stagnant popularity saw a terrifying upward trend once again.
