K-Pop Blog > Nolae > Hanteo Family

As you may have noticed, Nolae is an official Hanteo Family member. We're going to explain to you exactly what this is all about and how you can support your favorite idols by ordering your albums from a Hanteo Family member!

We have already introduced you to the biggest Korean charts of South Korea, which include the Circle Chart or the Melon Chart as well as the Hanteo Chart. If you want to know more about it, you can continue reading here.

Here is the most important information about the Hanteo Chart:

The chart has existed for over 30 years and counts how many times an album has been sold. There are several different charts like the Physical Album Chart, which reflects how many physical albums were sold in the last hour, daily, weekly and monthly. In addition, there is, for example, the Digital Chart, which analyzes data from streaming services, the Music Chart, which combines digital and physical sales, or the Social Chart, which examines the influence of artists in social media.

And where does the Chart get its data? From the Hanteo Family members!
Hanteo works with over 1,500 stores worldwide that are designated as certified Hanteo Family members. Hanteo can access the sales figures of the stores at any time and thus reflect them in the charts in a very up-to-date way.

How can you support your idols by shopping at Nolae?

As mentioned earlier, Nolae is also a Hanteo Family member.

This means that every album you buy in our store is automatically counted by Hanteo. So you support your idols with every order in our store! Nolae is one of the few Hanteo members in Europe.

Your album purchases are only counted by the chart if the store is a Hanteo Family member. So if you want to make sure that your support really reaches your idols, you should buy only from Hanteo certified stores. You can recognize them by the official Hanteo Family symbol!

Hanteo has also been giving awards to the most successful K-Pop artists since 2021 as part of the annual "Hanteo Music Awards". The winners, of course, are selected based on data collected by Hanteo.

In 2021, Treasure, Epex, and IVE, among others, won a Hanteo Award and shared their joy with their fans in video messages:

On February 10 & 11, 2023, the award ceremony for the 2022 Hanteo Music Awards will be held even offline in Seoul. We are excited to see who will take home an award this time!
