About Hanteo Chart's Album Authentication

Hanteo Chart's "Global Authentication Chart" was created by overseas K-pop fans, who are directly authenticating the albums as they purchase them.

Through album authentication, fans can protect the copyright of the artists, help validate the album as a genuine release, and prevent it from being reissued.

With that said, Hanteo's "Global Authentication Chart" ranks albums that had the most authentication. Since the rankings are generally based on the fandoms' participation, this chart presents how big and active the artists' global fans are.
