WATCH: EXO Baekhyun and IU's "Fighting" Scene Trends After Their Respective Comebacks

In light of EXO's Baekhyun x Bol4 and IU x Suga's collaboration songs, fans and netizens who anticipated the major releases of these artists have a special and hilarious way to celebrate.

On May 6, soloist IU, in collaboration with BTS's Suga, dropped a new track, titled "Eight," which is presently drawing massive attention from fans due to its captivating melody and lyrics. It is perfected through the combined musicality of Suga, who produced the song, and IU, who delved into her inner self to pen the lyrics.

Upon release, the two stars eventually topped the charts, and earlier on May 8, their track reportedly achieved an all-kill chart, which brought joy to their fans.

Meanwhile, a day after their release, Bol4 kicked off with a new track, "Leo," featuring EXO's Baekhyun, a pre-release song for her upcoming album. The song showcased the sweet melody and vocal-blend of the two singers, giving off a heart-fluttering narration of a person's feeling, seeing someone you love.

As soon as "Leo" was released, supporters of Bol4's Ahn Ji Young, who debuted as a soloist following the withdrawal of her former co-duo member Woo Ji Yoon. The song received lots of love as well, rising to the charts as #2 on MelOn, Genie, Bugs, Soribada, and more.

Due to this, fans and supporters of IU and Baekhyun, alleviate the intensity and pressure of stealing and maintaining the no. 1 spot in various charts through adding humor to the friendly competition.

In particular, the two fandoms, EXO-Ls and Uaenas, are actually long-time friends as the two artists became friends after starring in the hit Korean drama, "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo." IU, who played the role of Hae Soo and Baekhyun, who played the character as the 10th Prince Wang Eun, exhibited an enemy-turned-friends relationship in the drama, in which fans enjoyed the most (and still do!). And whenever the two singers face off in the charts, there's this iconic scene that fans and even viewers will never forget, and that's the scuffle of the two characters that remains a source of a good laugh to everyone.

The legendary fighting scene, which became a meme, has resurrected as IU and Baekhyun's songs compete as no. 1 and no. 2 in several domestic music charts.

But to clarify, this is a pure inside joke between the two fandoms, and this already happened in 2019 when EXO's title track for their 6th album, "Obsession," and IU's "Blueming" are also racing over the no. 1 spot. EXO-Ls and Uaenas are, in fact, enjoying this lighthearted and amicable so-called "fan war."

Also, fans are expecting IU and Baekhyun's final face-off on May 25, the solo comeback date of the male idol, as he is set to release his second mini-album "Delight."

On the other hand, both songs are well-received by the mainstream, proving their influence and popularity through their praiseworthy skills.

Congratulations on the successful IU x Suga and Bol4 x Baekhyun's collaboration songs!
