“Golden” by HUNTR/X is the first song to secure a Perfect All-Kill in the second half of 2025. HUNTR/X and Saja Boys, the fictional groups featured in the hit Netflix animation film, ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ are rewriting history by dominating charts not only in South Korea but worldwide. K-pop fans are fascinated by the success of these fictional groups, particularly amazed by HUNTR/X achieving the coveted and rare Perfect All-Kill. 

A Perfect All Kill (PAK) means a song is simultaneously ranked #1 on all major South Korean music charts, both in real-time, daily, and weekly categories, including the iChart by Instiz. It’s the highest achievement for a digital release and shows overwhelming popularity across all platforms like Melon, Genie, Bugs, Flo, and YouTube Music. Notably, during the first half of 2025, only two real songs were able to score Perfect All-Kills. Here’s a look at those two standout hits:

REBEL HEART by IVE

IVE has been known for consistently delivering chart-topping hits and scoring Perfect All-Kills left and right since the early days of their career. The group extended their legacy with “REBEL HEART,” which captivated listeners across the nation with its lush soundscape, rich vocal harmonies, and comforting lyrics. With majestic production, the song swept South Korean music charts, securing the coveted Perfect All-Kill.

TOO BAD by G-DRAGON feat. Anderson .Paak

G-DRAGON broke charts with “TOO BAD,” the title track of his long-awaited third studio album, ‘Übermensch.’ Featuring acclaimed American musician Anderson .Paak GD created a vibrant collaboration that became an instant hit. It’s no surprise that the song swept through every South Korean chart, earning the King of K-pop another Perfect All-Kill. As the idol group member with the most PAKs to his name, G-DRAGON proved his enduring influence once more.

The first half of 2025 is marked by an unusual scarcity of Perfect All-Kills. Against this backdrop, the fact that only IVE and G-DRAGON could captivate both fans and the general public to score PAKs speaks volumes about their artistry and impact.
