Following a show-stopping performance at a major film awards ceremony, Hwasa of MAMAMOO has achieved a rare chart domination in South Korea. Her song “Good Goodbye” earned a Perfect All-Kill on November 30, making her the first female solo artist to secure this achievement in 2025.
What a Perfect All-Kill Means
A Perfect All-Kill (PAK) is a major milestone on South Korean music charts. It means a song has reached the number one spot simultaneously on the real-time, daily, and weekly charts of all major domestic music streaming services. These platforms include Melon, Genie, Bugs, YouTube Music, Flo, and Vibe, with their data aggregated by the Instiz iChart. This accomplishment demonstrates a song’s widespread popularity with both the general public and music fans.
The Blue Dragon Film Awards Performance
The surge in popularity for “Good Goodbye” is widely attributed to Hwasa’s poignant live performance at the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards on November 19. For the stage, she was joined by actor Park Jeong-min, who also stars in the song’s music video. Their performance recreated scenes from the video, telling a story of a couple’s separation with palpable emotion and chemistry. The stage was hailed as a highlight of the ceremony, captivating the audience of actors, industry figures, and viewers at home. This powerful presentation introduced the song to a massive new audience and triggered its climb to the top of the charts.
“Good Goodbye’s” Journey to the Top
“Good Goodbye” was first released on October 15, 2025, under Hwasa’s label, P Nation. The song is a warm yet emotional farewell track where Hwasa expresses a wish for her former lover’s happiness. The music video, featuring Park Jeong-min, quickly gained traction, surpassing 50 million views on YouTube.
After its release, the song performed well, but it was the Blue Dragon performance that propelled it to new heights. On November 22, the song began its ascent to the number one position on major domestic charts like Melon’s Top 100. This “reverse run” on the charts, where a song gains popularity weeks after its release, culminated in the song achieving its first Real-Time All-Kill on November 30, followed shortly after by the comprehensive Perfect All-Kill.
