HYBE's rookie girl group TUIDE has made a significant impact as "the best rookie of the year" by achieving meaningful results right from their debut album.

According to Hanteo Chart, an album sales tracking site, on the 31st, TUIDE (Seohui, Seoyeon, Elena, Zia, Saki, Sea, and Lee Ha-neui)'s mini-album [TUNE & PLAY] sold a total of 112,282 copies over the past week. This ranks 10th in terms of debut sales (album sales within one week from the release date) among all girl group debut albums in history and is the highest record for any domestic female artist debuting this year.

The upward trend is also clear on music streaming charts. The debut track "SUN KISS" has gained popularity through performances on music shows, boosting its presence across various music platforms. The song reached No. 5 on Apple Music's "Today's Top 100: South Korea" (as of August 29), No. 6 on YouTube Korea's "Trending Music" (as of August 30), and climbed 159 spots to reach No. 24 on Spotify's "Daily Top Songs" chart in South Korea (as of August 28). Additionally, despite not having officially debuted in Japan yet, the song secured a spot on LINE MUSIC's "Top 100" rankings.

The response to the music video has also been enthusiastic. The "SUN KISS" music video, which captures TUIDE's high energy and sensual visuals, reached No. 1 on YouTube Korea's "Daily Trending Music Videos" chart (as of August 27). Views quickly increased afterward, surpassing 10 million views the previous day (30th). On YouTube's global chart ranking official music videos by view count worldwide, it secured the 15th position (as of August 28).

Its influence is also expanding on short-form platforms. On TikTok, videos featuring "SUN KISS" and "GRLS" (including original sound) each exceeded 40,000 uses. On Instagram's "Rising Trending Audio" (as of August 30), "SUN KISS" ranked 4th and "GRLS" 6th. This chart tracks songs with the largest increase in usage within Instagram.

Reception continues across all tracks on the album. On the day of [TUNE & PLAY]'s release, all songs entered Melon's "Hot 100" (within 30 days of release), and by August 29, they also appeared on Apple Music's "Today's Top 100: South Korea." Four tracks, excluding "Echo," entered YouTube Korea's "Trending Music." It is encouraging that the debut album is being loved not only for its title track but also evenly across all included songs.

Meanwhile, TUIDE is a seven-member girl group introduced by HYBE's new label ABD. The keyword running through the album is "Soultronics," which combines the warm sensibility of "Soul" with the sophistication of "Electronic." TUIDE's music flexibly moves across various genres such as R&B, house, and UK garage, centered around this "Soultronics" style.

TUIDE is scheduled to appear on KBS Cool FM's "Paul Kim's Gayo Plaza" on September 1, where they will share diverse stories related to their album.
