POW, who returns with “Boyfriend,” delivered his best performance since his debut.
As POW’s (Jungbin, York, Hyunbin, Dongyeon, and Hong) second EP album was released on October 21, the title track “Boyfriend” of the same name has been a huge hit on real-time charts.
Immediately after its release, “Boyfriend” showed its presence, ranking 87th on the Melon HOT100 chart and 44th on the Genie Music chart (in the last week of release). Unlike songs in general that draw a downward curve over time, “Boyfriend” set a remarkable record, starting to go viral as a “singing masterpiece” on various social media platforms and climbing to the second spot.
POW ranked second in the real-time chart (Genie Music, at 1:00 AM on the 22nd), which is a kind of popularity indicator among fans, showing the miracle of “Boyfriend”. In particular, POW’s growth has been realized. In fact, it ranked second after Rosé and Bruno Mars’s “APT.”, which are loved all over the world, and this is its highest ranking since its debut.
“Boyfriend” is a remake of Avril Lavigne’s hit “Girlfriend”, which gives a glimpse of the fiery love confession of five boys in adolescent mood. If the sound source contains a bold energy reminiscent of a morning call, the five members float, with five colors, which cannot be dismissed in the music video.
The cheers are pouring in, including “I still trust you,” “It’s like a song with a lot of work,” “It’s a song that only I know,” and “It feels like a smart remake.” Alongside this, “Boyfriend” is set to continue its global rise, with its catchy lyrics, melody, and the members’ light tones, facial expressions, and visuals.
POW, who made its comeback with “BOYFRIEND,” will be starting its career in earnest.
