*This content was translated by AI.

Group Waker is on a full-fledged growth trajectory in the global short-form market.

WAKER (Kohyun, Kwon Hyeop, Lee Jun, Rio, Saebyeol, Sebeom) entered both countries at the same time, ranking 49th in Korea and 28th in Japan with their new song "LiKE THAT" on the YouTube Daily Chart on the 11th.

Due to the nature of the short-form chart, which is aggregated based on actual user reactions and content consumption, the performance shows that Waker has secured buzz and strong fandom firepower in both Korea and Japan. In particular, Waker is a team that has built up local fandom centered on performances and fan meetings by using Japan as its main stage of activities before its debut, and it is evaluated that the direct cam and fan content filmed through this process spread through the short-form platform, leading to the chart performance.

Waker, who has built a solid fan base with Japan as his main stage of activities, captured the domestic market through this comeback, drawing meaningful responses from both Korea and Japan. With the simultaneous entry of the charts in Korea and Japan, expectations for expanding activities in the global market are also rising.

It is also noteworthy that artists belonging to small and medium-sized agencies, not large agencies, have entered the global algorithm-based chart. Waker's performance in the short-form platform structure, which is difficult to spread without actual user reactions, adds meaning in that it is made of content competitiveness and voluntary consumption by fans, not marketing.

Earlier, Waker made a comeback on the 8th with the release of his third mini album, In Elixir: Spellbound. The new album, which has a full-length album-level completeness, entered the second place on the daily album chart of the Hanteo Chart on the day of its release, and the title song "LiKE THAT" is attracting global attention, ranking 23rd in the X real-time trend.

Meanwhile, Waker plans to continue its active comeback activities through various online and offline contents and music broadcasts.
