An AI-assisted song has made history on South Korea's music charts after reaching No. 1 on Melon's Top 100, surpassing new releases from several popular K-pop girl groups.
On November 13 at 5 PM KST, AI music project MEOMURU took the top spot on Melon's Top 100 chart with its digital single Have You Become the Adult You Dreamed Of? (꿈꾸던 어른이 되었나요?).
The song reportedly maintained its No. 1 position until 11 PM that evening, becoming the first AI-assisted track to reach the top of Melon's Top 100 chart.
Its achievement drew attention as the song climbed above releases from several established and rising girl groups, including RESCENE's With, A2O LITE's NEON, and ILLIT's I'll Arrest You.
Released in June 2026, Have You Become the Adult You Dreamed Of? is a rock ballad that explores the emotional struggles of adulthood and the differences between childhood dreams and reality.
The song reached No. 1 approximately five months after its release, marking an unusual achievement for a music project that uses artificial intelligence.
MEOMURU is an AI artist project created by Glorywave, a production team consisting of composers Lee Yong Seok and Choi Sung Hyuk.
Unlike traditional K-pop releases, the song's vocals were generated using Suno AI, an artificial intelligence music creation platform, rather than being recorded by a human singer.
However, human creators were still involved in the song's planning, lyrics, and overall production direction.
When introducing the project in June, MEOMURU explained its approach to using artificial intelligence in music.
“To me, AI is a modern instrument and a partner that helps turn my imagination into reality,” the project shared.
MEOMURU also clarified, “The vocals on this album were generated using Suno AI technology, while the planning, lyrics, and overall production direction were handled by the artist.”
The song's rise to No. 1 highlights how AI-assisted music is beginning to compete with releases from established K-pop artists on major domestic streaming platforms.
With Have You Become the Adult You Dreamed Of? reaching the top of Melon's Top 100, MEOMURU has achieved a notable milestone as discussions about the growing role of artificial intelligence in the Korean music industry continue.
