Singer Lim Young-woong achieved the Gold Club by exceeding 7.2 billion cumulative streams of music released on Melon.

Previously, Kakao Entertainment opened the ‘Melon Hall’ of the music platform Melon. ‘Melon Hall of Fame’ is a space of honor that celebrates the Melon records of domestic and foreign artists and domestically released albums.

A total of 91 teams entered the 'Artist Category (Billions Club)', which celebrates artists who have achieved more than 1 billion cumulative streams of music released on Melon.

BTS recorded a cumulative 12.3 billion streams and was the only group to enter the 'Diamond Club', which only artists with more than 10 billion views can enter.

IU, Lim Young-woong, and EXO are in the 'Gold Club' with more than 5 billion views. 19 teams, including Seventeen, Blackpink, Red Velvet, Heo Gak, Sung Si-kyung, and Park Hyo-shin, entered the 'Silver Club' between 2 and 5 billion won.

In particular, Lim Young-woong has already surpassed the Gold Club by exceeding 7.2 billion streams as of May 7, and is running at lightning speed to achieve the Diamond Club.
