Perfect All-Kill (PAK) is a very important achievement every K-pop artist wants to achieve when releasing a product. It best reflects whether the Korean public well receives the song. A song reaches PAK when it reaches #1 on all iChart charts (including Melon, Genie, Bugs, FLO, VIBE and YouTube music). Perfect All-Kill songs are considered big hits in Korea. This record is hard to set and it’s even harder for rookie girl groups. After nearly 7 years, no girl group can still beat BLACKPINK in the record of the fastest group to reach PAK.
1. BLACKPINK – 6 days
Before rising to the status of a global girl group, BLACKPINK was already a “dinosaur rookie” thanks to an unbelievably impressive debut. 4 YG girls debuted on August 8, 2016, with their first single “Square One”, including 2 songs “Whistle” and “Boombayah”. While Boombayah quickly broke the YouTube view record, Whistle achieved outstanding results on Korean digital music charts. Only 6 days after its release, Whistle topped all digital music charts, helping BLACKPINK achieve the first Perfect All-kill in their career on August 14, 2016. Up to now, BLACKPINK is still the fastest K-pop group to achieve Perfect All-kill since their debut.

2. NewJeans – 146 days
As the rookie receiving the most attention right now, NewJeans is considered the perfect ‘next BTS’ of HYBE. NewJeans quickly gained popularity right after its debut. The first comeback with Ditto helped NewJeans conquer all digital music charts after only 6 days of the song’s release. With this achievement, NewJeans achieved the first Perfect All-kill 146 days after their official debut.
