A2O LITE's 'NEON' Reaches Seven Wins, Edging IVE and NMIXX on Music Core

A2O LITE's "NEON" collected its seventh music show trophy on Saturday, winning MBC's Music Core with 6,557 points, Soompi reports.

The October 31 episode put "NEON" in a first-place race against IVE's "Looks Can Kill" and NMIXX's "Birthday Wish," and both rivals performed on the night: IVE with "Looks Can Kill," NMIXX with "Birthday Wish."

The seventh trophy extends a debut run that moved fast. Soompi previously reported that "NEON" notched a perfect all-kill within two weeks of the group's debut, and the group's own account marked the run on X: @A2O_LITE posted "INKIGAYO 4th Win" on October 25, a post with 164,428 views and 8,223 likes, and a second post that day thanked fans for a first-place nomination on SBS's Inkigayo, drawing 388,539 views.

Fan chart accounts keep their own scoreboard. @aoyuned posted on X on October 28, quoting @KshowAnalysis1's breakdown of a second straight Show Champion first place, a "Double Crown" for "NEON," and added: "Congrats 'NEON' and A2O LITE for the 6th win."

@ChartsA20LITE posted on X an October 25 ranking of 5th-gen girl group songs by Korean music show wins: "Magnetic" at 12, Hearts2Hearts' "RUDE!" at 5, and ILLIT's "It's Me" and "NEON" tied at 4, with "NEON" marked up one. That count predates the wins that followed.

The rest of the Music Core bill ran deep: BESTie with "Love Options," ATEEZ with "DRIP," RIIZE with "Insomnia," ILLIT with "You're Under Arrest," NCT WISH with "I SPY," ALPHA DRIVE ONE with "Talk to me," XLOV with "Hush," AND2BLE with "Potion" and "French Kissing," EVNNE with "LOOK AT MA," FLARE U with "Bloom," BE BOYS with "CAME FOR THE GLORY," LA POEM's You Chaehoon with "Made for This," YUHZ with "B.B.B," cosmosy with "Give Me Love," B THE HOOD with "CHOP!," and VIBY with the Korean version of "Gotcha."

On TikTok, @a2o.lite posted an "INFINITE CLIP 2" for "NEON" on October 28, made with INFINITE STUDIO, A2O's 4DGS (4D Gaussian Splatting) technology, with technology by 4DV.ai; it has 1,546,595 plays and 357,588 likes. @yunosify posted an encore-stage clip from M Countdown dated October 22 and captioned "3RD WIN," with 553,113 plays.

Six days after the group's account posted "INKIGAYO 4th Win," the count reads seven.
