BABYMONSTER's 1st full album 'DRIP' track 'Really Like You' continues to march in reverse with the challenge heat wave and is gaining attention. According to YG ENTERTAINMENT yesterday (19th), BABYMONSTER's 'Really Like You' ranked 1st on the TikTok Korea Music Viral 50 chart for five days from the 11th to the 15th. It is currently maintaining a top position not only on the viral chart but also on the rising 50 chart, with over 100,000 videos utilizing the relevant sound source. The enthusiasm across short-form platforms is also rising. The total views of the 'Really Like You' reels uploaded on BABYMONSTER's official Instagram have reached about 100 million, and it has reappeared on the daily popular song chart for YouTube Shorts in Korea. Both the challenge and preview content are being consumed together, driving the song's popularity. The 'Really Like You' challenge has received a great response with a point choreography that draws an O shape with hands to the lyrics 'Okay, okay.' The cute gestures expressing a fluttering heart and the members' refreshing smiles, along with intuitive movements that anyone can easily imitate, have encouraged broad participation from many people and fellow artists. This reverse march was ignited by the stage at the fan concert in Japan last December. At the end-of-year awards ceremony, when the group's recognition increased, the stage footage from the fan concert spread rapidly online, riding on word of mouth. The 'Okay, okay' part and the song's winter sensibility have been re-proven, forming an upward momentum. The heat that started from short-form content has spread to the strength of the sound source charts. 'Really Like You' has recently reappeared on the Korean YouTube weekly popular song chart TOP 100, and the music video has also raised its ranking on the daily popular chart. It is climbing the ranks daily on major platforms both domestically and internationally, including Apple Music, Spotify, MelOn, and NAVER VIBE. Additionally, BABYMONSTER has released a new version of the challenge, igniting buzz. The active participation of the members and the fans' reactions have raised expectations for how long the upward trend of 'Really Like You' will continue. BABYMONSTER recently concluded their Asia fan concert tour 'LOVE MONSTERS' successfully. Combining this fan concert tour (140,000 attendees) with their debut world tour (300,000 attendees), they have mobilized 440,000 audience members in total over the past year, demonstrating their overwhelming influence.
