Display MoreIt was pretty big in Korea because of all the Korean references in the song. From the instrumental to the lyrics to the MV. It was #2 on Gallup 2018 even though it was released in late August.
When kpop fans were busy mocking BTS for "western validation", BTS went on and released one of the most traditionally inspired songs any kpop group has ever released. And then this performance happened :

BTS got many praises on Korean platforms for this performance especially from the people of older generations because of how they showed Korea's traditions in this performance (that's why they are the only kpop artist known outside kpop's usual demographic, not just because they are always in the news ). This performance was trending on Korean platforms even till the next year's MMA.
'IDOL' is one of the reasons why BWL got 934k ULs on Melon on its 1st day (still BTS' highest 1st day ULs) and would have gotten lot more if Melon had not crashed in the 1st hour of its release....

rain definetly has an impact on the charts, just look at all the songs about rain rising

It's crazy how much the weather impacts the charts in South Korea
pop! yesterday was loosing so much ULs cause of the rain but today it's sunny and its currently gaining slightly more hourly ULs than Love Dive
We come from different parts of the world so im curious to know if the weather affects the charts where you guys live
in my country, weather has no impact and its really only during christmas season that we see some weird chart movements with christmas songs rising obviously

best producers but the songs not hitting lot...
eitheir BEP lost their touch or the gp just doesnt care about StayC, BEP produced some of the biggest gg hits of all time

TFTMN was 4th on the 2018 year-end chart? Must have missed that.
A very dubious infographic that clearly needs some quality checks.
pretty sure its YE chart except for the gfriend bar rough songs which are their weekly chart peak positions lol...
idk who made this graph but they clearly wanted to prove a narrative

Pop! surpassed Love Dive in terms of ULs so she may be 3rd on the next daily update

Oh Gaon. So Gaon Weekly, Monthly, Yearly? Either way now you've qualified your statement.
On melon too

Yup i knew i was missing one

Talking about JYP gg's failling to maintain the hype, I think you guys are being rough with Twice
They had a string of 9 #1 hits which im pretty sure has only been done by IU and maybe another 2nd gen artist or soloist im forgetting about
Other than IU, some artists just start to decline and leave place for newer ones, plus twice still performs ok in sk
Itzy on the other hand has 1 hit song and a okay performing song that would be called a flop if it was released by Twice
IMO, Twice just naturally declined and also the encore scandals didnt help

Well she actually peaked at #2 under LD the day before WSG made their debut so she wouldnt even repeak
