Singer Young Tak claimed the No. 1 spot on "Music Bank" with the title track "Kkeok-eo" from his third full album "GOGO."

Young Tak secured first place in the September fourth-week K-Chart, released via the official KBS 2TV "Music Bank" website, with "Kkeok-eo." On that day, "Music Bank" was canceled due to a live broadcast of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games and instead published the K-Chart rankings on its website.

Young Tak reposted a post by producer Ji Kwang-min, who co-created "Kkeok-eo," on his official SNS to share the news of the No. 1 achievement with fans. Amid a flood of congratulatory messages from fans, he told his agency Abys Company: "I never expected to win first place on a music show. Thank you, Young-Blues. This is all thanks to you." He shared the joy of the victory with his fans.

He added, "It would have been even better if I could have shared this joy with the Young-Blues at the venue and performed an encore stage, but unfortunately, we will definitely convey this happiness through other content soon, so please wait a little longer."

"Kkeok-eo" is the title track of the third full album "GOGO," released on the online music platform on the 14th. The electronic dance song cheerfully expresses courage to move differently than expected, capturing moments where one must go but doesn't want to, and feels like they know everything yet still fumble.

"GOGO" demonstrated its strong album power with initial sales of 370,463 copies (according to Hanteo Chart). Following this, on the morning of the 21st, the weekly chart released by Hanteo Chart for the third week of September 2026 ranked it first in the weekly album chart with an album index of 315,200.72 points (sales volume: 303,724 copies). In the weekly world chart, it secured second place with a world index of 11,590.02 points. It also claimed first place in the 38th week (based on September 13 to September 19) retail album chart released via Circle Chart's official SNS, achieving a double crown overall.

"Kkeok-eo" also made its presence felt on YouTube. The music video for "Kkeok-eo," released alongside the third full album "GOGO," entered the Top 100 Korean Popular Music Videos chart on YouTube, and the song itself appeared in the Top 100 Korean Popular Songs chart. The "Kkeok-eo" suit dance video posted on the 1theK Originals YouTube channel attracted attention by surpassing 500,000 views within a week of release and subsequently entering the Top 100 Korean Popular Music Videos chart.

Young Tak continues to carry the album's momentum with his solo concert "TAK SHOW5." "TAK SHOW5" will be held from October 3 to 5 at Seoul Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium, starting with the Seoul performance, followed by Jeonju on the 24th–25, Daegu on the 28th–29, Incheon on the 19th–20, and Busan on the 16th–17 next year.
