According to YG entertainment, BLACKPINK's full album 'The Album' has already received over 800,000 pre-orders. Pre-orders from Korea surpassed 530,000 copies and over 270,000 copies were ordered from America and Europe combined. This number is expected to be much higher as the pre-orders from China will be a lot.

Guys, can we stop with the fanwars please? This is the reason so many people are leaving K-Pop. Yes its ok to disagree with certain things, but that doesnt give you the freedom to spread negativity. Were humans. We have different opinions and thats ok. Just be mature about it. Its not hard to support others while still cheering on your favs. Anyways, congratulations Blinks from an ARMY! This a huge achievement and you should all be very proud.
