FIFTY FIFTY's growing global popularity earns praise from Korean Netizens, defying Small-Midsized Agency Expectations

AKP STAFF

Rookie girl group FIFTY FIFTY is garnering much attention outside of South Korea and reaching a new career high.

According to Spotify's update, "Cupid"'s English version, "Cupid (Twin version)," debuted at No. 191 on the global chart with around 1.07 million streams on the platform, becoming FIFTY FIFTY's first entry on the chart. It also became the 12th biggest 2023 song debut on Spotify global as of March 15.

The song is also going viral and used in many videos on TikTok.

What's surprising is that the girl group has not gotten much attention in South Korea, and their track "Cupid" did not even make it to the top 1000 ranking on the Melon music charts, with the listeners' number hovering around 3,000 to 4,000.

After the news that FIFTY FIFTY is climbing the charts on Spotify, Korean netizens gave the song a listen and are loving the track.

Korean netizens commented, "They sing so well, and I love the mood of the song," "Wow, they're good at singing," "The song is soooo good," "The song is really crazy good," "This should go viral in Korea too," "This has a pop song vibe that's good," "I like the English version much better," "They are so talented," and "I'm listening to this everyday."

This is the perfect concept for an emerging girl group. The English version slaps just as smooth as the original.
