When have two massively hyped comeback from two different KPOP groups/soloist battled it out for the top of the charts?

Eye- did we just forget Bigbang and EXO in 2015

Love me right Vs bang bang bang

iu vs bts when dna was released

edit: iu’s was a surprise release for her fans, my bad. but she ranked #1 and bts #2

The most iconic summer battle in history

Sistar Shake It and AOA Heart Attack were released on the same day

IU vs GD/Taeyang in 2015 infinite song challenge, competing in the same show and released at the exact same time. There are no other two releases with as many ULs combined in the first 24h as those had.

both songs were 🔥🔥🔥

I remember Sistar managed to edge out on chart (obviously cause they are digital queens) but Heart Attack went on to win 3 trophies against Shake It on music show. AOA had much better physical sales and fanvoting

i can only think 2NE1 (Comeback Home) and SNSD (Mr.Mr) but they have a week gap of release if im not mistaken

is there any situation like that happen again on kpop ?

The shady move of YG to schedule 2NE1 comeback on same week of SNSD's annoucned comeback. Then SM postponed the comeback due to "technical issue" with MV. And then on music show, 4minutes ended up winning against both of these groups. It was hilarious

Boy With Luv (BTS), Kill this Love (Blackpink), and Fancy (Twice). If I remember correctly, KTL was released first, BWL after a week, and Fancy after another week. The competition wasn’t on the charts but Youtube. I guess this was the most hyped month from the 3rd gen’s biggests.

It was a critical timing for Bp and Twice.

BP released KTL amid burning sun scandal and the song slightly underperformed on K charts. Fancy was Twice's transitioning to a more matured sound.

Jennie's solo was released on 12 Nov whilst Twice's Yes or Yes on 5 Nov
