IVE Wins November’s “NPOP Artist Of The Month,” RIIZE Wins 3rd “Rookie of The Month”

IVE has been named the “NPOP Artist of the Month” and RIIZE the “Rookie of the Month” on Naver and Playlist’s music broadcast NPOP.
AMPERS&ONE, WHIB, KISS OF LIFE, XODIAC, OMEGA X, GHOST9, Weeekly, MCND, Soojin, Giuk, VIVIZ, and Youngjae made appearances during the live broadcast on November 20. Furthermore, Umji, a girl group member from VIVIZ, was November’s special MC.

The monthly results, which include “NPOP Artist of the Month” and “Rookie of the Month,” are also revealed on the same program.

Here, IVE—who performed the songs “Baddie” and “Either Way” on NPOP—was recognized as the “NPOP Artist of the Month.” IVE’s distinct appeal is particularly evident in “Baddie,” which has a hip and intense atmosphere, and “Either Way,” which was the first song to be released on NPOP and garnered notice. IVE demonstrated their intense appeal even after the official release of their new album “I’VE MINE” by winning another No. 1 trophy last month.

In the meantime, RIIZE was chosen as the “Rookie of the Month,” demonstrating their promise by taking home the title for a record-breaking three times.

NPOP is not like other charts that use weekly computations to determine rankings. Based on monthly computations, it releases its chart, which generates a comprehensive ranking by taking into account many elements such music scores and album sales, pre-votes, live votes, viewership, and search volume. During the first three weeks of the month, Wednesdays are when taped VOD programming is shown on NPOP, a channel available on Naver NOW. Every month on the fourth Monday, the live broadcast airs.
