For every K-pop idol, going solo from the group is an important milestone. This marks a strong change in their career and is an opportunity for idols to express their unique musical personalities.

Therefore, the fact that debut songs receive many trophies at weekly music shows in Korea is considered the first step for idols to reach the prestigious year-end awards. Below are the 5 idols whose debut songs "won" the most weekly trophies according to Kpopping data.

Jungkook BTS 12 trophies (Seven)

Released in July 2023, Seven is a song included in Jungkook's (BTS) debut solo single, marking the official start of his solo career. The song has a gentle, addictive melody, combined with the rap part of American female rapper Latto.

Upon release, Seven immediately topped iTunes charts in over 100 countries, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and UK Official Singles Chart, and entered the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 - an extremely rare feat for a Korean solo artist.

In Korea, the song won 12 weekly trophies on 4 music shows (Mcountdown, Music Core, Music Bank, Inkigayo) in less than a month, becoming the solo debut song with the most wins for a solo idol.

G-Dragon 11 trophies (Heartbreaker)

Heartbreaker was released in 2009, opening the solo career of "BigBang leader" G-Dragon. The song has an electropop style mixed with hip hop, clearly showing G-Dragon's unique and pioneering musical personality in K-pop at that time.

The MV attracted a lot of attention with its unique, unconventional visuals and rebellious style, far from the popular boy group image at that time. Despite some controversies, Heartbreaker was still extremely successful commercially, reaching over 3 million downloads (a record at that time).

At the weekly music show, Heartbreaker won 11 weekly trophies, leading all charts for a long time.

This was the highest number for a solo idol at the time of 2009, making G-Dragon hold the record for many years before being broken by Jungkook.

Taeyeon 11 cups (I)

Equal to "king" G-Dragon is Taeyeon (SNSD) with I - 11 trophies at weekly music shows. I is a song with a gentle style but enough for Taeyeon to show off her powerful voice, clearly showing the mature color and emotional depth in her voice.

The MV was filmed in New Zealand with majestic natural scenery, evoking a sense of freedom and a desire to escape from constraints, true to the spirit of the song's lyrics.

I received positive feedback from both experts and the public, quickly topping digital music charts for many weeks, contributing to paving the way for the success of Taeyeon's later songs, helping her become the top female solo artist of Gen 2.

Jisoo 9 trophies (Flower)

Jisoo is the last member of BlackPink to go solo, and is also the one who "won" the most weekly trophies when solo.

Flower is a pop song that combines traditional Asian music, creating a unique and strange color. The MV reached more than 100 million views in less than a week. Notably, the song's choreography also became a global trend, covered by many idols and fans on TikTok and Instagram.

Flower helped Jisoo win 9 weekly trophies, making her name on the list of the most successful female solo idols. Although she chose to go solo later than the other members, Jisoo has proven her personal charm and ability to dominate the stage with her own unique color.

Seungri 7 trophies (Strong Baby)

Strong Baby was released in January 2009, included in Big Bang's album Remember but promoted as Seungri's first solo debut. The song attracted attention thanks to its transformation from an innocent youngest member to a more mature, masculine and seductive one.

The song brought Seungri 7 weekly cup wins, becoming a stepping stone for Seungri to his next solo activities.
