Girl group Hearts to Hearts just pulled off a shocking clean sweep with four music show wins, proving their explosive popularity.
On the March 21 broadcast of MBC Show! Music Core, IVE's 'BANG BANG', KiKi's '404' ('New Era'), and Hearts to Hearts' 'RUDE!' were nominated for first place.
Hearts to Hearts took the crown with a total score of 7,336 points, combining 5,000 for digital and album, 386 for video and broadcast, 950 for pre-voting, and 1,000 for live voting. IVE placed second with 5,976 points, and KiKi ranked third with 5,447. Although Hearts to Hearts did not attend the show, the MCs accepted the trophy on their behalf, saying, "Congratulations on first place. We'll make sure to deliver the trophy."
'RUDE!' is a house-based dance track defined by a rhythmic groove and bouncy synths, with lyrics capturing the cute, rule-breaking mischief of free spirits who refuse to be tied down.
Meanwhile, Hearts to Hearts also won first place on the March 14 broadcast.
