After the massive success of iKON’s Love Scenario, iKON’s haters start attacking iKON and call them a ‘one-hit wonder.’ Are they?
This might surprise new K-pop fans but Love Scenario is not iKON’s first ever hit song.
As an answer to all iKON’s haters, iKON is not a one-hit wonder.
iKON’s Love Scenario is just one of the successful songs of iKON and is the second song from them that marked history in Korea.
The first song from iKON that became a massive, huge hit in South Korea is “My Type.”
My Type is one of iKON’s debut songs in 2015.
Despite being a debut song, it already achieved Certified All Kill and has been #1 in all music charts for 6 consecutive days.
iKON is the first K-pop group in the new generation to achieve a Certified All-Kill with their song “My Type.”
My Type charted for 48 weeks on Melon 100. Also, My Type is one of the boy groups’ songs which achieved 1 million downloads along with Bigbang, Exo, Winner, and Block B.
It has been a huge success that almost everyone in Korea knows the entire song and couldn’t stop singing to it even up until today. Men, women, teenagers, young adults, and even adults, loved the song and is one of the most unforgettable hit songs in Korea.
The massive success of My Type made iKON won Song of the Year for the month of September at the Gaon Music Awards just months after their debut.
Also, with My Type’s massive success, iKON became a “monster rookie” as they won Best New Male Artists on all year-end award shows which made iKON the second K-pop group in history to get a Grand Rookie Slam. The first K-pop group is SHINee.
- November 7th 2015 MelOn Music Awards as “Best New Artist”
