In 2024, around 92.7 million music albums were sold in South Korea. This includes both domestically sold albums, and those sold overseas by certified vendors. It also represents a roughly 20 percent decrease since the previous year, which had seen record sales. While digital music streaming is popular in the country, buying physical albums is particularly popular among K-pop fans, which helps drive physical album sales.
