★ HOW YOU CAN HELP ★
1. Physical Sales
There are two charts that monitor physical album sales. The ‘Hanteo’ chart monitors the daily, weekly and monthly sales, and counts towards the weekly music show rankings. Sale from many, but not all, stores are reflected on the chart.
The ‘Gaon’ chart is a comprehensive chart which tracks the total yearly album sales, physical and digital, and together with the ‘Hanteo’ chart it counts towards the end-of-year award shows. Note that ‘Gaon’ also has a number of other ranking charts.
For your sale to count towards the charts, you must buy from retailers that directly contribute towards those charts, or whose sales go through ‘Hanteo’. Sales from the following retailers count towards the charts:
2. Online Voting
- You will need to create a Mnet ID (very simple process, as the site is available in multiple languages).
- Voting starts on Friday, 11:00 KST, and ends on Monday, 9:00 KST
- One vote, per account, per day
- Ten votes per IP address, per day
SBS Inkigayo
- You need to download the SOTY App on your iPhone or Android phones.
- The voting takes place every week, from Sunday (just after the SBS Inkigayo broadcast) to Saturday.

3.
SNS Points (SBS Inkigayo)
SNS points are worth 35% of the overall SBS Inkigayo score. You can help gather points for HISTORY through the following:
-
YouTube:
- Stream HISTORY's What Am I To You official MV: Watch NOW
- Stream any of HISTORY’s videos through the official YouTube channels: LOEN Tree
- Stream their performance recording through the official broadcast channel station, when uploaded: Mnet | MBC | KBS | SBS
Please play the videos in full. Do not mute the video while playing (You can simply lower the volume, but not entirely, and plug in your earphones. That way you don’t need to listen, if you don’t wish to) Like the videos, post comments, and spread them. It’s best to watch the videos on YouTube, rather than viewing the videos embedded on other sites.
-
Twitter:
Use the
#히스토리,
#HISTORY and
#난_너한테_뭐야 hashtags when tweeting. Please use only one hashtag per tweet, or they will be disregarded. Your tweets will only count if your account is set to public while tweeting. If that is a problem, please create a separate twitter account. Participate in fanbase trending activities.
-
Facebook:
- Follow the official 히스토리 - History Facebook page.
- Like their page
- Like, comment on, and share their posts
4.
Public Interest
Although the "public research/interest" is no longer counted in the criteria, it can still help towards garnering public interest, which raises HISTORY’s profile and works to attract new fans. The more people search about HISTORY on news sites, it means the more interested the public is.
- Use Korean search engines/news sites and search for 히스토리, 난 너한테 뭐야 or each member's name: 송경일, 나도균, 김시형, 김재호 and 장이정
Go to the sites listed below and search. The more you search, the better!
