CLOSE YOUR EYES (CLYOA) has claimed a music-show victory immediately upon their comeback.
The group appeared on MBC M's Show! Champion on the 19th and took the top spot with "X," one of the double title tracks from their third mini album blackout.
The members expressed heartfelt gratitude: "We want to thank our company staff, everyone who works hard for us, and our parents. And to our CLOSER fandom— we love you."
They continued, "Thank you, CLOSER, for giving us this No.1 win. We'll keep showing you even better performances."
CLOSE YOUR EYES continues to climb to new career heights. Their first-week sales reached 570,000 copies, earning them half-million-seller status. Just seven months after debut, their three albums have surpassed 1.2 million cumulative sales.
Their debut album earned them two music-show wins, and their second mini album added three more trophies. Their new release blackout captures the group's relentless growth story, with double title tracks "X" and "SOB."
"X" expresses the will to break fear and limits and move forward. Member Jeon Minwook participated in the lyrics, while Kenshin contributed to the choreography production.
CLOSE YOUR EYES has also been sweeping awards this season, winning five rookie-related trophies including "Male Idol of the Year (Rookie)" and "Rookie Award," further proving their rising popularity.
