I was thinking about why this year feels so uneventful… like there’s scandals sure, but where are the hits? The song of the summer was for sure golden. Idol group wise famous did well in Korea but internationally im not sure. Same with the boy next door song. While internationally i did see Go a lot on tiktok, but it’s not a hit in Korea. Overall, the only hit this year both in korea and internationally was probably like Jennie.
For the second part:
I looked through melon and just listed all the songs that have over 150k likes on the website for the poll or over 150 mil on Spotify. I’ll also include some stats I found down below for the major groups. I’ll be excluding groups some of the newer groups like unis, ahof, etc cuz they don’t have the stats yet.
