IVE's "After Like" has once again reached a new peak on MelOn Top 100, surpassing NewJeans’ smash hit “Attention”. With this, the rookie girl group has set several records.

On August 28, a post about IVE began trending on TheQoo's community board under the title, "FINALLY, A FOURTH-GENERATION GROUP WITH THREE SUBSEQUENT HITS".

The netizen then listed the following achievements made by IVE in just a few months of promoting with just 3 songs

ELEVEN
The song is anticipated to be rated seventh on the 2022 annual charts after winning 13 number-one positions on music shows and a whirlwind run of success.

LOVE DIVE
One of the songs that sums up 2022. There's a good chance that the song will be number one on the year-end charts in 2022.

After LIKE
Hey, they just made it to the top of Melon. It had more listeners than LOVE DIVE ever had at its peak.

Meanwhile, other netizens quickly responded with comments such as:

"LOVE DIVE" was a really good song, and so are "Eleven" and "After LIKE."

Their music is really so good.

IVE's songs are so good that I listen to them every day, even though I mostly listen to songs by girl groups.

I really don't know how they choose such good songs.

One of my friends said that one of their songs wasn't that great, and I got into an argument with her ㅋㅋ.

Can people have such different ears??

"LOVE DIVE" really was a huge hit.

I really don't like old songs, but for some reason I really like this one.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Even a woman in her 30s felt something when she heard their songs….

I don't usually listen to idol songs, but I only recently found out about IVE, and now I can't stop playing their songs. Even the new song they just put out was great.

Kids, even an ajumma like me in her 30s loves IVE's music… I love you….

They definitely threw the door wide open for the 4th generation. They don't work for a big company and are still beginners, so I'm not sure they'll get the daesang, but they should.

Even my mom, who is in her 50s, sings along to LOVE DIVE..

Aren't all 3 songs super successful?? They're cool.

What are your thoughts on IVE's "After LIKE"?

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
