Artist JUNHEE (준희) is once again drawing the attention of global music fans, fueling anticipation for a potential “reverse hit” of his song “Supernova (00:00).”
According to his agency Pan Entertainment on November 4, the track from his first solo mini album “THE FIRST DAY & NIGHT” climbed to No. 20 on the Daily All Genres Chart of U.S. music platform Genius, catching the ears of international listeners.
It also ranked No. 4 on the Daily R&B Chart and No. 94 on the Weekly R&B Chart, impressive results for a rookie K-pop solo artist. Other songs from the album, “Too Bad (15:00)” and “Tattoo (with Jiham, WoW, BK, Yuchan) (12:30)”, simultaneously entered the Genius Daily R&B Top 30, at No. 25 and No. 27, showcasing JUNHEE’s musical range and growing global appeal.
Alongside this chart surge, the album’s official hashtag #TheFirstDayandNight reached No. 2 on X (formerly Twitter)’s worldwide trending topics, even surpassing the seasonal keyword #Halloween. Remarkably, this was achieved without any paid promotions or advertising, driven purely by spontaneous fan engagement.
Such viral momentum from an independent fan base, without official marketing support, is exceptionally rare for a newly debuted solo artist. It highlights both JUNHEE’s musical quality and the unity of his international fandom — signaling the start of a possible “reverse run” success story for “Supernova (00:00).”
An industry insider commented,
“Seeing a rookie K-pop solo artist charting on Genius’ main rankings shows that JUNHEE is steadily attracting new fans in the U.S. The rise of ‘Supernova (00:00)’ is likely to continue across major global streaming platforms.”
With these achievements, JUNHEE solidifies his position as a promising next-generation K-pop soloist. The combination of his artistic maturity and the organic global fan response may well pave the way for new milestones in his future career.
