This is the first time a rookie has done so since SM Entertainment‘s boy group SHINee debuted in 2008.
On top of that, iKON has proven to be a strong force on the digital charts as well, becoming the first to artist to win the Rookie of the Year and an Artist of the Year (monthly award by Gaon) at the same time!
