Inkigayo - Episode 1278

Aug 10

Written By Joe L

SBS’ Inkigayo (Episode 1278) ended the week, Sunday, with one of the best music shows of the year due to the amount and quality of performances. Also, since Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s music shows were cancelled, Inkigayo was only the fourth music show of the week for some groups. First, Queenz Eye, Yves, and Yena performed and shined on the stage.

Next, ifeye performed their comeback “r u ok?”. Won Hwayeon, the vocalist, shined due to her strawberry blonde hair. Also, she was the only one who wore a grey top which combined with her hair made her stand out. STAN IFEYE!

Then, SAYMYNAME performed their comeback “ILy”. Shuie, the new Chinese member who joined one month ago, shined . Also, they used her photo as the thumbnail. She was also the first ending fairy, doing a pointing motion when saying “I Love U”. And when they showed everyone in the group, Shuie gave a little wave. STAN SAYMYNAME!

Next, ICHILLIN performed their comeback “XL”. They dropped this song on Thursday, Jul 31, this is only their second week of promotions, and this is their second performance on Inkigayo E.Ji , their leader, shined due to her musicality and stage presence. Also, she shined more due to her being the only one wearing a fancy scarf. STAN ICHILLIN!

Finally, KiiiKiii performed their comeback “Dancing Alone”. They just dropped this song four days ago, on Thursday, Aug 7, 2025. So this is a new strategy and it might work due to the good reception of the song. Jiyu, their leader, shined in a mint green top. Also, Jiyu shined more due to her being the only one having a bob cut. STAN KIIIKIII!

Blackpink won with “Jump” again for the third week in a row. Let me know if you want a part two about Yena and Yves.

Congratulations to Blackpink and to all the performers!
