Ki. Exactly. There's a reason why SM is investing in album sales so much this year. It's been stated many times that the total profit of digital sales of a single are not enough to cover the costs of a music video (
!)
Korea's the only market in the world where the subscriptions ($5 a month on melon(right?)) are the main source of the sales. And with the digital sales dropping like crazy in korea (70% in 2012!) labels cannot make money out of single sales when you have to pay songwriters, producer, music video costs, and share the profits with 5-7 members.
I agree that f(x) should aiming 2NE1's place. Hopefully their album sales are good.

You know someone hit the bottom when their arguments depend
on articles, polls and fake sales.
The whole argument was over ever since you and andre posted the real sales

Right. They better cling to 0.03 sales, looks and
fake netizenbuzz opinions.
