6 Groups Who Set the Fastest Records in K-Pop: BLACKPINK, EXO, More!
With dozens of K-pop groups active in the industry, many different major milestones can be achieved, such as setting a new record. However, while different types of records can be attained, be it personal or as a whole, one of the most common is the fastest time to hit a milestone in the industry. And these K-pop groups did just that!
From BLACKPINK to EXO, here are six groups who have set the fastest records in the K-Pop industry!
1. BLACKPINK
BLACKPINK
In August 2016, BLACKPINK debuted with "Whistle" and "BOOMBAYAH." Just six days after their debut, BLACKPINK achieved a perfect all-kill (PAK), becoming the fastest K-Pop group to do so.
PAK is when a K-pop song hits No. 1 on all eight major music and real-time, daily, and weekly charts in Korea. So far, BLACKPINK is the only group to achieve this with a debut song.

The record was previously held by MAMAMOO, who had a solo concert two years after their debut.
