SEVENTEEN's "Meboz" Dokyeom X Seungkwan's "Blue" is also going viral among overseas music fans.
"Blue" recently ranked No. 1 on Spotify's "Daily Viral Song" (26th, same standard) in Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The chart is ranked by data on songs whose number of plays and frequency of sharing have increased rapidly recently. Dokyeom X Seungkwan also ranked in the top 10 on the chart in Hong Kong (3rd), Taiwan (3rd), Singapore (6th), and Korea (9th). It is an unusual achievement as an authentic ballad in the intense performance-oriented K-pop market.
The mini-first album "Soya Song" with "Blue" entered the U.S. Billboard main album chart "Billboard 200". In addition, good performance continues overseas, ranking third in Japan's Oricon "Weekly Album Ranking" and "Weekly Total Album Ranking." The album previously topped China's largest music platform QQ Music's weekly chart for the EP of the 'Digital Best-Selling Album' (counting period January 9-15).
"Soya Song," released on the 12th, is an album that unravels the theme of "ordinary love" with emotional storytelling. The six songs arranged along the trajectory of love delicately captured the emotions accumulated in everyday life, drawing sympathy and immersion from listeners. In particular, "Blue" was well received for portraying the complex mind felt when the stride of love is out of alignment with Dokyeom X Seungkwan's appealing voice.
As it is a song that anyone can empathize with, there have been a series of voluntary challenges from fans. The "Duet Challenge," which harmonizes with Dokyeom and Seungkwan, was the most popular. As related videos poured out on social media, "Blue" rose to the top of Instagram's "Increasing Popularity Audio." On the 28th, the performance song of "Blue" will be released on Seventeen's YouTube channel, and it is expected that fans will continue to participate in the challenge.
The 'Vocal Challenge' of 'Gachang Master' is also drawing attention. Starting with the group Davichi, artists from various genres, including Gummy, Kim Tae-woo, Younha, Daybreak, 10CM, and Woods, reinterpreted "Blue" in their own colors, adding to the fun of listening. Recently, Apink's Jung Eun-ji, Day6 Young K, Boy Next Door Sung-ho and Riu, and TWS Youngjae and Kyung-min have also participated, igniting the long run popularity of "Blue."
