Gaon started certifying K-Pop songs and albums in different categories starting in 2018, which is why all of the songs on this list are from a 2018 release and onward. In order for a song to be platinum certified in terms of downloads, the song must have 2.5 million downloads or more, which is a huge amount and it shouldn’t be too surprising that only 21 songs have had this certification! Here are those 21 songs, including the day they were released and the day they were certified.
