FIFTY FIFTY Gains New Attention as “Pookie” Rises on Charts
FIFTY FIFTY is gaining renewed popularity as their song “Pookie” climbs up digital music charts. On July 24 at 9 a.m., the track reached No. 34 on Melon’s Top 100 chart. This marks a noticeable rise from its No. 42 spot the previous day. First released in April, “Pookie” is now showing long-term appeal, suggesting that the group’s success with “Cupid” was not a one-time event. Many fans are calling this a second chance for the group to prove its power despite coming from a small agency.
Chanelle Moon Helps “Pookie” Go Viral on Social Media
The growing interest in “Pookie” was largely driven by Chanelle Moon. Her unique “male idol version” dance challenge quickly spread across social media platforms. By mimicking the sharp expressions and bold movements seen in boy group choreography, she brought a fresh energy to the original dance. This helped boost both her visibility and the public’s interest in the song. As the video circulated online, more people began revisiting “Pookie,” pushing it higher on the charts.
The Strength of “Pookie” Comes From Its Musical Quality
Going viral can only do so much if a song lacks substance. The real reason “Pookie” is climbing again lies in its solid musical quality. Produced under the leadership of ATTRAKT’s CEO Jeon Hongjoon, the track maintains the standard set by “Cupid.” Listeners have praised its refined sound and catchy structure, noting that it stands out among recent releases. This has naturally led to growing anticipation for FIFTY FIFTY’s future albums.
