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 on the September Week 4 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 the K-Chart rankings were published on its website.

Young Tak reposted a post by producer Ji Gwang-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 conveyed through his agency Abys Company: "I can't believe we won first place on a music show. Thank you, Young-Blues. It's all thanks to the Young-Blues," sharing the joy of the victory with his fans.

He continued, "It would have been even better if I could have shared this joy of winning No. 1 with the Young-Blues on-site and performed an encore stage, but unfortunately, we couldn't. Please wait a little longer as we will definitely share this joy through other content."

'Kkeok-eo' is the title track from the third full album 'GOGO', released via online music platforms on the 14th. It is an electronic dance song that cheerfully expresses courage to move differently than expected, capturing moments of having to go but not wanting to, and feeling like you know something yet still flustered.

'GOGO' demonstrated its strong album power with initial sales of 370,463 copies (per Hanteo Chart). Subsequently, on the morning of the 21st, Hanteo Chart's weekly chart for Week 3 of September 2026 ranked it No. 1 on the weekly album chart with an album index of 315,200.72 points (sales volume: 303,724 copies). On the weekly world chart, it secured second place with a world index of 11,590.02 points. It also claimed first place on 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 on YouTube. 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 entering the Top 100 Korean Popular Music Videos chart.

Young Tak will continue the album's momentum with his solo concert 'TAK SHOW5'. 'TAK SHOW5' is scheduled to be held from October 3 to 5 at Seoul Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium, starting with the Seoul performance. The tour will then proceed to Jeonju on the 24th–25, Daegu on the 28th–29, Incheon on the 19th–20, and Busan on the 16th–17 of next year.
