Established in 2008, the KMCA introduced the official South Korean charts in 2010[1] and record certifications were implemented in April 2018.
The KMCA divides certification for songs in streaming and downloads.
For songs released before 2018, Gaon published the Gaon Observation Board that record songs that reach 100 million streams and 2.5 million downloads.
The first song to be certified Platinum for both streams and downloads was iKon's "Love Scenario" in June and November 2018.
Paul Kim's "Every Day, Every Moment" is the highest certified song in both categories.
