Hanteo is not "Korean sales", such thing doesn't exist. Hanteo is a worldwide union of stores that reports to them, now having many mainstream chain stores including in USA and Japan

To sum up is basically doubling good chunk of the sales. Quite pathetic mediaplay, if you ask me

Hanteo used to have most of their signed in stores in Korea, but developed a lot ever since BTS started distributing in larger stores

Also, calling it "Korean sales" when most of them are for China and SEA. Almost stopped after all the online sales rolled in day first lol

Gaon is more accurate, because it gives the number of all album copies produced and shipped to any store across the world.

Tho you need to remember Gaon are shipments to stores. So if a company awfully overship, the copies get returned and minused from total on the yearly report

If the shoe fits stans already in offensive

This doesn't apply to even one company

what. the. fuck.
