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.
2. IVE

Trying to grab a ticket for a K-pop concert is undoubtedly one of the most challenging things a fan will experience, and EXO's record just proves it!

With an incredible 0.2 seconds, EXO became the fastest group to sell out their tickets!

On August 17, 2021, five-member girl group SOLIA debuted with the digital single "Dream."

When K-pop groups just made their debut, it usually takes a while for them to hold solo concerts. But TWICE did it in record time!

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