• How are Netizens Reacting to IVE Beating NewJeans to get #1 on Melon

    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"?
