QWER performed on M Countdown to debut their title track “Dear” from their third mini album. M Countdown featured Chodan’s return after injury, moving fans with her brave appearance on stage. Fans from across Korea joined the pre-recording and praised both the performance and QWER’s personal fan events.
QWER Delivers Strong First Performance on M Countdown
On June 19, QWER made their long-awaited music show debut through a performance on M Countdown. The group, composed of Chodan, Magenta, Hina, and Siyeon, presented the title track “Dear” from their new mini album. This performance was the song’s first appearance on a televised music program. Their stage drew attention as a symbolic moment in QWER’s artistic journey, marking their entry into the competitive world of live broadcast music shows.
Third Mini Album Marks Growth and Creative Input from QWER
The new mini album, ‘In a million noises, I’ll be your harmony’, serves as the opening chapter of QWER’s evolving story. Each member actively contributed to the songwriting process, bringing a sense of personal meaning and unity to the project. The album reflects not just musical talent but also the sincerity and teamwork of a band that grows through experience. Their previous release, Algorithm’s Blossom, earned them three music show wins despite no live performances, showing strong public response.
QWER Returns to M Countdown Stage with Chodan’s Comeback
QWER returned to the M Countdown stage not only with a new song but also with Chodan’s long-awaited comeback. She had taken time off to recover from injury but chose to rejoin the group for this significant moment. Her appearance, supported by crutches and staff, moved many fans who were worried about her condition. Chodan is reportedly experiencing plica syndrome, a knee condition often diagnosed when pain has no clear physical cause. Doctors generally recommend conservative treatment before considering surgery.
M Countdown Stage Reflects QWER Concept and Music Video
Most artists must prepare and fund their own stage settings when performing on music shows like M Countdown. QWER took this challenge seriously and recreated the bus stop scene from their music video. This thoughtful detail added visual consistency between their digital content and live stage. The group’s signature refreshing band sound was layered with sentimental lyrics, creating a rich emotional tone that left a lasting impression on the audience.
“Dear” Shows Strong Chart Performance
The title track “Dear” quickly gained traction on major domestic music platforms. The song climbed to high positions on several charts, showing QWER’s growing digital influence. This response proves the group’s musical identity is resonating with a wider audience. The combination of lyrical depth and catchy arrangement plays a central role in its popularity.
Fans Celebrate M Countdown Pre-Recording with QWER
Fans who attended the M Countdown pre-recording shared glowing reviews online, especially on the Dcinside QWER Gallery. Known as Bawige, these fans came not only from Seoul but also from other regions across the country. Despite the summer heat, they waited for hours to attend and expressed that the experience was meaningful and fulfilling. Many fans mentioned that witnessing QWER’s first music show recording made them feel emotionally connected to the band’s journey.
Bawige Show Passionate Support and Receive Heartwarming Responses
Although some Bawige found the new fan chants unfamiliar, they quickly adjusted and offered energetic support throughout the performance. After the stage ended, one fan called out to Chodan, asking her not to get sick again. Chodan replied that she was already getting better, which delighted everyone who heard her response. Fans agreed that the entire event felt both warm and enjoyable, and many described it as one of their most memorable experiences with QWER so far.
Thank you so much for reading this post! I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share them in the comments!
YES! QWER’s finally gonna be on music shows. I thought they were stuck not appearing because of all the streamer power/cost stuff. Happy those hurdles are gone now! Seriously, saying they couldn’t perform over ‘some exposure’ was such a joke.
