Furthermore, ‘ICONIC BY MISTAKE’ earned its second No. 1 trophy on Mnet’s ‘M Countdown,’ broadcast on the 9th. On both occasions, it achieved full points for its digital song performance.

With its highly addictive hook and a standout performance that showcases the incredible synergy of the three groups, it has captivated global K-pop listeners.
Notably, the intuitive point choreography in the chorus has rapidly spread as a viral challenge across various social media platforms, significantly boosting its popularity. A massive wave of participation has been observed from HYBE Music Group label artists, including BTS’s Jungkook, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, TWS, and KORTIS, alongside famous influencers, dancers, and dedicated global fans.
The production of ‘ICONIC BY MISTAKE’ involved a collaborative effort across HYBE labels: BELIFT LAB handled the performance, SOURCE MUSIC was responsible for visual creative, and HYBE-Geffen Records managed A&R. While maintaining the creative autonomy and independence of each label, HYBE Music Group provided comprehensive support for the project’s overall strategy and operations.
