K-netizens wonder how rookie boy group TWS beat IU's "Love Wins All" and broke her PAK streak

AKP STAFF

TWS has been the talk in various online communities recently after their debut track "Plot Twist" has been ranking high on various music charts.

Last week, the group was accused of Sajaegi or manipulating the music chart results after their song "Plot Twist" made it to the top 10 on the Melon daily chart. 

Then, on February 12, the track beat out IU's "Love Wins All," taking first place on the Bugs Music chart. Subsequently, TWS broke up IU's Perfect All Kill (PAK) streak, which stood at 336 hours. "Love Wins All" currently ranks as the 5th highest PAK song in history.

Korean netizens were impressed with the song's performance on the music chart but also wondered how it was able to beat IU's hit song.

They commented, "I'm curious about the song now, I'm going to listen to it," "I never heard the song but now it has my attention," "How did this song get to number 1?" "They beat IU?? I wonder if the HYBE artists' fans listened to their track," "I think their song was good enough to beat IU," "Wow," "This song is good though," "They beat IU + V, wow," and "Hul. They're monster rookies beating out IU."

HYBE really needs to get their bot farm in check since ain't no way the same company with TXT and ENHYPEN is magically having their newest boy group chart on par to BTS when even SEVENTEEN JUST achieved their 1st no.1 song with God of Music.

It's honestly ridiculous that there are people who say: "Now that the song is #1 on a random chart, I will listen to it." 🙄 Also, they didn't beat IU and V, because it's just a song from IU, V has nothing to do with it. I don't see the point why we should care. Sure, their MV doesn't have many views, but that doesn't mean people don't listen to the song on streaming platforms. Even if it's a cheat, we won't find out because it's HYBE. That will ruin their company for sure. And everyone knows that when IU releases her next song/album, no one will take the #1 spot from her for 2 months, at least. It's not like they beat her after a day, she was on top for 3 weeks, and it's only Bugs.
