This is a list of the fastest-selling albums in South Korea.

Love Yourself: Answer by BTS is the current fastest-selling album in South Korea with over 1.9 million copies shipped to stores in its first 8 days of release.

Hanteo[edit]

This the list of the highest weekly album sales in South Korea, as recorded by the Hanteo Information System established in 1993.

Hanteo releases album sales on a daily basis, but does not cover all retailers.[citation needed] However, Hanteo coverage has greatly increased over the past decade, which is why million-sellers from the mid and late 1990's do not appear on this list.[citation needed]
