Many netizens might have seen the fear as a “joke” or “dramatic,” but a recent photo of the MelOn real-time chart following the release of Lim Young Woong’s album proves otherwise.
On June 6 (KST), Twitter was shocked when it was revealed that Lim Young Woong had not only made it to number one on the MelOn Top 100 but was dominating the top ten with five of his tracks.
Top 10 on MelOn TOP100 currently:
#1 Lim Young Woong – Grain of Sand
#2 (G)I-DLE – Queencard
#3 Lim Young Woong – Love Always Run Away
#4 Lim Young Woong – Our Blues, Our Life
#5 aespa – Spicy
#6 Lim Young Woong – If We Ever Meet Again
#7 IVE – I AM
#8 Lim Young Woong – Polaroidโฆ pic.twitter.com/CJMhwoNXGy— Kpop Charts (@kchartsmaster) June 5, 2023
Of course, the chart changed. Lim Young Woong’s place had dropped within a few hours, but he was still present among the huge K-Pop idols.
An image shared on the Korean forumย theqoo seemed even scarier as it showed that the singer had occupied all of the top ten spots on the chart. While many pointed out it wasn’t as prestigious as the MelOn Top 100, it was still proof of the singer’s huge influence.
When the photo of the charts was posted, while it gained the attention of Korean netizens, international K-Pop fans were also shocked.
In a post on Reddit, fans shared their thoughts on the dominance of the trot singer, whether it was their respect for theย ajummaย fans or their constant surprise at how dedicated the fan base is.
