Yeonjun, a member of the group Tomorrow x Together, won a music show trophy with his first solo song 'GGUM'.
Yeonjun won 1st place on Mnet's 'M Countdown' aired on October 3rd with 'GGUM'.
'GGUM' is Yeonjun's mixtape that was released on the 19th of last month, and it is especially meaningful as it is his first solo activity.
Yeonjun, who won the top spot without appearing on a show that day, said through his agency Big Hit Music, "I was so happy to hear the news of 1st place as soon as I got off the plane. I went into the activity with the mindset of 'Let's enjoy this festival with MOA (fandom name),' but I received more love than I expected. I'm happy that they gave me the valuable 1st place. Thank you and I love you. Next time, I will come back with a great album as Yeonjun of Tomorrow x Together."
'GGUM' is a song that compares confidence and ambition on stage to gum. In the actual performance, the talent and stage presence of 'K-pop representative dancer' Yeonjun stands out. The refreshing movements using long limbs and the powerful energy conveyed through the unique, sticky dance line capture attention.
Yeonjun ranked 4th on the 'World Digital Song Sales' for 2 consecutive weeks on the US Billboard chart with 'GGUM', and on the latest chart (dated October 5), it was the only K-pop song in the 'Top 5'. On the 'Global K-Pop Chart' of the Circle Chart's latest weekly chart (compiled from September 22 to 28), it rose 31 places from the previous week to 13th place. Over 20,000 videos utilizing the 'GGUM' sound source were uploaded on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts in the past week, reaching approximately 60,000 as of 8 p.m. on the 3rd.
