IU clinched the No. 1 spot on SBS's music program 'Inkigayo' this afternoon, even in her absence. The 'Inkigayo' MCs have promised to deliver the trophy on her behalf, marking a significant achievement for the beloved artist.

IU faced stiff competition from Girls' Generation's Taeyeon with her solo track 'To. X' and Lim Jae-hyun with 'Rhapsody of Rain', but her latest single 'Love Wins All' emerged victorious. The win is notable not only for IU's absence but also for the song's popularity and the buzz created by its music video, which features BTS member V.

The on-screen chemistry, visuals, and acting between IU and V have captured fans' attention and intensified the spotlight on 'Love Wins All'.

Meanwhile, girl group (G)I-DLE made a comeback on 'Inkigayo', overcoming challenges including health issues faced by members Minnie, Yuqi, and Shuhua. Despite these setbacks, all members rallied to perform their new song for their fans. Their title track 'Super Lady' showcased the group's powerful choreography and charisma, led by leader Soyeon, signaling a pivotal moment in their career.

IU's win on 'Inkigayo' without a physical appearance underscores her enduring popularity and the strong reception to 'Love Wins All', further cementing her status as one of K-pop's leading figures.
