Can TVXQ save the music Industry?

Their fourth album has broken 200K sales.

TVXQ's fourth album "Mirotic" has sold over 200K copies after only two weeks of release, and on the 13th their total sales amounted to 208345 copies. These two years, artists such as Big Bang (sold 132000 copies), Brown Eyed Girls (112000) copies, etc. have been under the curse of "not being able to sell more than 150,000 copies.

" Each year, TVXQ's sales rankings are higher than before. According to charts, their first single in 2004 "Miduhyo," sold 242580 copies, ranking eighth. Their second album, "Rising Sun,' sold 222472 copies in 2005, ranking fourth, and their third album "O. Jung. Ban. Hap" in 2006 sold 349317 copies, ranking first. TVXQ's third album sold the most copies within Korea in 2006. Everyone is anticipating their fourth album to outsell the third album and reach a sales mark of 35K, as they have broken the 20K mark in just two weeks. Where does TVXQ's sales power come from? First, fans want to collect the CDs, and they are the biggest source.

According to SM's calculations, TVXQ's official fanclub has 800,000 members.
