Singer and actor Do Kyung-soo has moved beyond a reverse hit with his 2022 release 'Popcorn' and is now on a long-term success trajectory.

Released in 2024, 'Popcorn,' a track from Do Kyung-soo's third mini-album 'Growth,' has gained word-of-mouth momentum amid the spring season and the wedding season, steadily climbing major music charts.

The song, released two years ago, has gradually begun a reverse hit trend, reaching as high as 12th on Melon's Top 100 daily chart and surpassing 35 million cumulative streams. On Spotify, it has also exceeded 30 million cumulative streams, while maintaining top positions on major music platforms including 8th on Genie's real-time chart and 2nd on Bugs' real-time chart.

The popularity of 'Popcorn' is not limited to a temporary trend; it has held top positions on major charts for over three weeks since early April, marking its significance as a long-running hit rather than just a reverse hit. The song's warm and sweet atmosphere aligns perfectly with the gentle sensibility of the spring season, capturing listeners' attention.

Do Kyung-soo also appeared on Dingo Music's 'Vertical Live,' delivering another lingering impression and emotional impact with a 2026 live version of 'Popcorn.' This has reignited the song's buzz and expanded its influence, spreading through SNS algorithms and further bolstering its long-running popularity.

The song 'Popcorn' is characterized by its sensory expression comparing the excitement of love to the moment popcorn pops, enhanced by whistle sounds, an upbeat rhythm, and Do Kyung-soo's signature smooth vocal tone, earning widespread public affection.
