DJ DOC takes crown from miss A on Gaon chart

Korean hip-hop trio DJ DOC has scored their first win on Gaon's single chart, taking the crown from one month winner miss A with their latest single "I'm a Guy Like This."

Data released by Gaon on Thursday indicated that the group stepped up to the No. 1 spot on the chart during the week of August 1 to 7, pushing down miss A's debut song “Bad Girl Good Girl” by four slots.

DJ DOC, composed of members Kim Chang-ryul, Kim Ha-neul and Jung Jae-yong, was one of the most popular hip-hop groups in Korea in the late 1990s. They returned to the music scene for the first time in six years with their seventh full-length album released on July 29.

"They Live Well" by Homme, a collaboration group of 8eight's Lee Hyun and 2AM's Changmin, climbed up six spots to second place and placing in the top tier of Gaon’s single chart was the new song "From Me To You" by female duo Davichi.

Meanwhile, K-pop princess BoA's sixth studio release "Hurricane Venus" made its debut atop the albums chart and SHINee's second full-length record "LUCIFER" and DJ DOC's seventh album "風流" dropped a notch each to second and third place, respectively.
