(Seoul=News1) YoonKyoungChung = A2O LITE, the girl group launched by Lee Soo-man, the 'father of K-pop', is gaining explosive popularity.
A2O LITE’s debut single, NEON, reached No. 1 on Melon’s Top 100 chart at 11 p.m. on October 14, roughly 29 hours after it was released at 6 p.m. on October 13.
It was the fastest a debut song had ever reached NO.1 on Melon’s Top 100 since the chart was revamped in August 2021.
NEON pushed '퇴사할게여' by I-DLE’s Jeon Soyeon, which had held the top spot for an extended period, down to No. 2.
'NEON' has been drawing attention for its sound, which differs from the mainstream K-pop formula of today and evokes the style of K-pop from an earlier era.
Some listeners have even noted similarities to Girls’ Generation’s 'The Boys' and f(x)’s music.
Another notable point is that Yoo Young-jin was involved in the song's production. He played a key role in shaping SM Entertainment’s past successes, from H.O.T.’s “Warrior’s Descendant” to aespa’s 'Next Level'.
Fans have also begun looking for celebrity lookalikes among the members.
There has been an overwhelming number of comments saying Aiching, with her straight brown hair, reminds them of BoA during her early debut years.
Many others say OA resembles S.E.S.’s Eugene and Jessica from Girls' Generation
AI-powered dance challenges have also been flooding social media in countless variations.
Reaction videos from international fans on YouTube are also gaining popularity.
All eyes are now on what kind of impact Lee Soo-man’s new project, launched after his departure from SM Entertainment, will make in the K-pop industry.
