For the first time in 10 years, K-pop album sales have declined, dropping from over 100 million copies in 2023 to 93 million in 2024. This unexpected downturn has sparked discussions about the industry's future, as physical album sales had been a major revenue driver for K-pop artists.
Despite the decline, the market remains optimistic about a potential rebound in 2025. With BTS and BLACKPINK both set for highly anticipated full-group comebacks, industry experts believe their return could reignite album sales and global fan engagement. BTS, following their military hiatus, is expected to make a massive impact, while BLACKPINK's renewed contracts hint at major projects ahead.
As the K-pop industry looks ahead to 2025, fans and analysts alike are eager to see whether these powerhouse groups can reverse the decline and push album sales back to record-breaking levels.
