(G)I-DLE Achieves Perfect All-Kill on Korean Charts with B-side “FATE”

On March 26, the South Korean girl group (G)I-DLE achieved a remarkable feat as their B-side track, “FATE,” from their latest album “[2],” clinched a Perfect All-Kill on iChart. This accolade signifies the song’s ascent to the number-one position on all major Korean music platforms across both daily and real-time charts, a challenging milestone in the competitive realm of K-pop.

Despite minimal promotional efforts, “FATE” garnered substantial attention, primarily fueled by (G)I-DLE’s live stage performance on “Lee Hyori’s Red Carpet.” The song’s ability to drive crazy the Korean audience underscores its undeniable appeal and resonant quality.

Cube Entertainment’s strategic decision to commence promotional activities for “FATE” on music shows post its All-Kill status, surpassing the album’s title track, “Super Lady,” reflects a calculated approach to harnessing the song’s burgeoning popularity and maximizing its impact on the industry.

Remarkably, “FATE” marks the third song to attain Perfect All-Kill status in 2024, following IU’s “Love Win Alls” and BIBI’s “Bam Yang Gang.” This milestone solidifies (G)I-DLE’s position as the first girl group to achieve Perfect All-Kills in four consecutive comebacks, a testament to their enduring relevance and musical prowess displayed across releases such as “TOMBOY,” “Nxde,” “Queencard,” and now, “FATE.”
