Overall, "Supernova" also became aespa's second song to claim a perfect all-kill across the music charts since their title track "Savage" in 2021.
Earlier on May 24, MYs voiced out frustration online due to aespa's initial hurdles in achieving a PAK on the charts. "Supernova" has dominated the music charts in South Korea since its release on May 13, but fans wondered why the song wasn't able to attain a Perfect All-Kill.
The concerns eventually reached the platform iChart, which uploaded a post containing an apology, and an explanation regarding aespa's obstacle. According to the chart, the hindrance was due to "Supernova" hitting No. 3 on platform VIBE.
"We're sorry we couldn't make aespa's 'Supernova' a perfect all-kill," iChart tweeted.

The chart then explained, "We can't intervene with Vibe's ranking." This saddened fans, as some expressed frustration regarding the potential to secure a PAK and suggested iChart to remove VIBE.
