t/n: 밀어내기 = pushing album is another bulk buying tactic to boost numbers of albums for the first week sale while accounting for future sales (used for fansign/fanmeet) without selling it in the present time
Min Heejin said "even if it's one album is pushed out, it's still being pushed. If you're asking why we say it was pushed, it's because the albums were distributed to the retailers to boost first-week sales records. If there's a goal to break a record within a week, and they think that team won’t make it, they do bulk-buying, and that’s when we use the term ‘pushed.’
She continued, even just one album can take away someone else's #1 spot. But in this case, the 80,000 albums, it’s not the number itself that matters. The issue is that it raises suspicion that ILLIT’s sales surged on the last day of their first week just to break NewJeans’ record.
