Ha Sung Woon Agency Apologizes for 1st-Week Sales Data Error
On July 27, the company released a statement acknowledging that a portion of the first-week sales data for Ha Sung Woon’s eighth mini-album had been inadvertently omitted.
“After checking, [we have learned that] in the process of recording the first-week sales for Ha Sung Woon’s eighth mini album, part of the sales were mistakenly recorded for the July 24 chart, which is after the end of the first-week sales period, and therefore omitted from the first-week sales,” the statement read.
“Due to the fans pointing it out, we became aware that part of the first-week sales data for Ha Sung Woon’s eighth mini album was omitted, and together with the album retailers, we are currently in the process of finding out whether Hanteo Chart can revise [the first-week sales figure] to reflect the omitted amount,” it continued.
