QWER
The group QWER has risen to the top of K-POP-IT BOARD’s Global Rise Chart, in parallel with the announcement of holding its second Asian tour.
As it was located outside the top 20 just two days ago, this rise is evaluated as one of the most striking chart changes of this week.
According to the global K-pop analysis indicator K-POP-IT BOARD, QWER took 1st place on the Global Rise Chart on July 13, recording a power index of 57 points. The power index is an indicator that analyzes the overall notoriety and upward trend of an artist by combining performances in music charts, activity on social media, and the volume of mentions in the news.
QWER also proved the global interest in them by entering their name at 8th place on the chart of K-pop artists attracting the most attention abroad this week.
The announcement of holding the second tour “QWER 2ND TOUR ‘ROCKATION : ROCKET LAUNCH!!’”, unveiled last July 12 via official SNS, is at the origin of this upward trend. On the unveiled poster, a guitar-shaped rocket flying toward space as well as cat characters symbolizing the four members appearing dressed in spacesuits capture the bright and joyful atmosphere unique to QWER.
This tour will begin with concerts in Seoul on September 12 and 13, to continue in 9 cities in Asia, including Taipei, Fukuoka, Osaka, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The tour is expected to end with a concert in Singapore in January 2027.
QWER expanded its global fandom by traveling through North America and Asia during its first world tour last year. Like the image of its name “QWER 2ND TOUR ‘ROCKATION : ROCKET LAUNCH!!’”, this tour, which contains the ambition to transmit their music on larger stages and to more fans, aroused great interest online immediately after its announcement, which led to 1st place on the Global Rise Chart, showing the abrupt rise of QWER.
