Their debut full-length album “Armageddon” broke records, surpassing 3 million streams within 24 hours and reaching 1 million streams in just 5 hours, driven by hits “Supernova” and “Armageddon”.
Additionally, aespa’s solo concert track “SYNK: PARALLEL LINE – Digital Single” and fifth mini-album “Whiplash” both dominated the Melon charts. “Karina’s “UP” achieved Real-time All Kill and topped the Melon Real-time chart.
IVE swept three major awards at the MMA 2023, Album of the Year, TOP 10, and Millions TOP 10. Their second mini-album “IVE SWITCH” released in April was a huge success, and title tracks “HEYA” and “Accendio” dominated the Melon charts.
tripleS is the largest K-pop group with 24 members. They made headlines with their first full-group comeback in May, releasing the album “ASSEMBLE24” featuring all 24 members. Notably, their title song “Girls Never Die” achieved a remarkable feat by entering the Melon TOP 100 chart.
