Girls' Generation moves 1 million units

The June 1, 2011 self-titled first Japanese album by 9-member kpop group Girls' Generation reached 1 million units on the 11th of this month.
This is a first for a Korean artist since Boa's "Listen to My Heart" (1.29 million units), Boa's "Valenti" (1.4 million units) and Boa's "Best of Soul" (1.2 million units).
It's also a first for a Korean group to reach the million mark in Japan.

Sales included the original album released last June, and the repackaged album released on December 28 of last year.

While repackaged albums are unknown in Japan, they are common in South Korea which doesn't release singles. A repackaged album includes additional recordings and new packaging and features, put out as "Limited first release", "Limited release" and "regular". The combination of these three helped Girls' Generation hit the one million mark.
