Why are K-pop idols’ albums being thrown on the streets?
This is not the first case of a K-pop album being treated disrespectfully. Just a few days ago, Seventeen’s latest album, “17 Is Right Here”, was thrown out on the streets of Japan with a sign saying, “Take whatever you want.” Since then, similar incidents have been reported online for various other groups’ albums. Many fans believe that people bought these albums in large quantities mainly because of the “photocards” and “codes” that could be used to resell the album. Some photos show that the albums are not even in their plastic packaging, which means that the photocards have already been removed. This explains the large purchases.

Furthermore, the top three contributors to this ruin have been identified as HYBE Labels, JYP Entertainment, and Kakao Entertainment.
