Only seven K-Pop groups currently appear on the MelOn Top 100 chart

For the past few years, girl groups and female artists have been leading the way on Korean music charts. While they still tend to outperform their male counterparts in this area, there are now more boy groups ranking on charts like Melon Top 100 daily ranking, which could mean a resurgence in boy group popularity is happening!

Currently, there are seven different K-Pop boy groups that have at least one song charting in the Top 100 (not including the group members’ solo work).

Two groups — N.Flying and digital boy group PLATE — have a song on the chart right now. N.Flying’s song “Into You,” released on June 25, 2024, is currently ranked at #57, and peaked at #54.

PLAVE, meanwhile, has his song “WAY 4 LUV” currently ranked at #92, previously peaking at #60. It was released on February 26, 2024.

The other group with two songs trending in the chart is BTS.
