This is a list of the best-selling albums of recorded music in South Korea. To appear on the list, the figure must have been published by a reliable source and the album must have sold at least 1 million copies. As of 2022, Map of the Soul: 7 by South Korean boy band BTS is the best-selling album of all time in the country. Released in February 2020, the studio album claimed the record with over 4.1 million copies sold in less than a month. Kim Gun-mo's 1995 studio album Wrongful Encounter previously held the record as the best-selling South Korean album for 24 years, with an estimated 3.3 million copies sold—this includes figures based on illegal sales—until it was surpassed by BTS' Map of the Soul: Persona in 2019.
