H1-KEY’s Meteoric Rise: From Viral Sensation to Chart-Topping Success

H1-KEY’s journey from being a budding music group to a chart-topping sensation is nothing short of remarkable. Their track “Rose Blossom,” known for its evocative Korean title and heartfelt lyrics penned by DAY6’s Young K, became an unexpected viral sensation. This track not only climbed the Korean music charts but also secured the No. 1 spot on Bugs.

With the momentum from “Rose Blossom,” H1-KEY recently unveiled their latest mini-album “Seoul Dreaming.” The numbers speak for themselves: Hanteo Chart reported a staggering 74,231 copies sold from August 30 to September 5. This is a significant leap from their previous mini-album “Rose Blossom,” which recorded 6,920 sales in its debut week. This showcases an over tenfold increase in first-week sales, highlighting the group’s soaring popularity.

Adding another feather to their cap, H1-KEY clinched their inaugural music show victory on September 5 with their latest title track “SEOUL (Such a Beautiful City)” on “The Show.” This achievement underscores their evolving presence in the music realm and the immense potential they hold for the future.
