Is it safe to say kick it was a hit in korea?

It’s not a hit at least in Korea it crossed only 100M digitals points

It only crossed over 100M digital points, but it wouldn’t be considered a hit per say. I could be wrong, but I don’t remember it being stable on charts for too long (correct me if I’m wrong). But again, I could be wrong, though I do remember it’s dance moves being popular amongst youth, but other than that I can’t recall anything else.

it didn’t chart well

Exo Universe is no. 2 says a lot about the credibility of this list.

MelOn streams are even worse than Yt streams since Korean fans are hardcore streamers.

Unique Listerners in MelOn and Gaon index number are a way better indicator to judge songs.

"for boygroups" then sure (standards aren't high is this category), A HIT in general then NO

Boygroups usually dominate streaming because of mass streaming by fans.

Kkb was the most streamed song in melon history at some point but that doesn't mean it was a mega hit.

Nope

EXO universe charted over a year on melon AND Gaon and had like ~500mil digital index. Let’s not even.

No, far from it.

Didn't even cross that, it stopped being visible when it hit 99M

On boygroup standards? Yes, possibly most covered bg song from last year and every person who is interested on idol music on Korea have heard it. For the general public? No.

Depends on your definition of a hit.

If your talking about an actual hit in SK then I would say no. And is this list seriously saying that nct's kick it had more streams than bts' boy with love, dynamite, butter, dna, etc. Exo, big bang, and shinee should also have more entries. Ring ding dong, lucifer, love shot, universe, and sherlock had great digitals. I think this is just one per boy groups.

Now if you're talking about an average idol hit, sure. People who are into kpop have probably heard it. It was a hit in the kpop circle, but that was about it. Honestly that's about it for any bg these days. BTS, (maybe exo and shinee) are the only kpop bg that can get good digitals these days.

lmao melon streams are like the worst metric for defining a hit, especially when it comes to bgs with big fandoms

No. Did it even do 100M points on gaon? Looking at its performance it's not even close to the word hit.

Imo Nope a hit in Korea is atleast a perfect all kill.

And so?

Is it the the 2nd most successful song for a boy group?
