K-pop powerhouse IVE has added another impressive record to their illustrious career on Billboard Japan.

According to recent Billboard Japan charts, the group's sensational hit song 'After LIKE' has officially surpassed 200 million streams on the platform's streaming aggregation. This monumental achievement marks IVE's third song to reach this remarkable milestone, following their debut track 'ELEVEN' and the hit 'LOVE DIVE'.

Released on August 22, 2022, 'After LIKE' is a mega-hit that masterfully blends various genres, including EDM, pop, and house, built upon a foundational kick rhythm. Upon its release, the song dominated domestic music charts, achieving a perfect all-kill (PAK) and securing 14 music show wins, solidifying IVE's strong presence. Furthermore, its success extended globally, with extended chart runs on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, proving their international appeal.

Since their official debut in Japan in 2022, IVE has consistently demonstrated their immense popularity in the country. They graced the Tokyo Dome stage for their first world tour encore concert and recently captivated approximately 100,000 fans across four cities during their 'IVE SCOUT' IN JAPAN' fan concert tour earlier this year. Their third Japanese album, 'Be Alright,' released in July, topped the Billboard Japan Top Album Sales chart, reaffirming the 'IVE syndrome' in the region.

IVE's global journey continues with the recent successful conclusion of their 'SHOW WHAT I AM' Seoul concert, the opening of their second world tour. The group is set to embark on tours across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. This latest Billboard Japan streaming record further underscores IVE's expanding global influence and raises anticipation for the new chapters they are poised to write on the international music scene.

Korean netizens are celebrating the achievement, with comments like 'IVE is truly amazing!', 'Three songs with 200 million streams, this is insane!', and 'After LIKE is a certified bop!' flooding social media platforms.
