"Wow, IZ*ONE surpassed TWICE. But this is still not as surprising as SNSD taking the high place."

"SNSD's album from 2011 is still here, that's incredible."

"I did think it was some other 'The Boys', not 'The Boys' from SNSD. Unexpectedly the ranking is so high. Besides, congratulations to IZ*ONE."

"TWICE and SNSD are amazing. The number of TWICE albums on the list is stunning. And SNSD is a legend, surpassing many 3rd gen girl groups."

"IZ*ONE being No.1 is awesome! The chart is mostly TWICE's album, impressive. Surprisingly, there is an album from 2011, SNSD is great."

"SNSD? Really? What a legendary nation's group!"

"IZ*ONE is really great, that concept is great. There is also SNSD, a product that has been there for so long and still has high rankings."

"That's why SNSD should be considered a legend, their album was released nearly 9 years ago yet it still can compete with many on the chart."
