Meanwhile, fandom NSWERs defended the group. They mentioned how the user wanted to accuse NMIXX of doing "Sajaegi," a term for chart manipulation which consists of boosting sales by buying one's own album en masse.
Others claimed that NMIXX was able to sell this many albums since they're from JYP Entertainment, one of the big four agencies know in the K-pop industry.
Read their comments below:
- "It feels like you want to accuse them of doing Sajaegi. But you have to know that they're from JYP, a listed company, which also means they can't exactly do that."
- "NMIXX are just that impressive for reaching that high figure. Looks like you're jealous of them?"
- "To you dumb people, JYPE is a listed agency, so them committing Sajaegi is far from happening."
- "So why is its suspicious that a Big 3 company is selling lots of albums? To be honest, you guys are the ones who are looking down on NMIXX."
- "Did you like to say that NMIXX are indeed selling this many albums because they're doing really well? Thank you for the post by the way."
