As QWER approaches their one-year debut anniversary on the 18th, they've solidified their place as a shining star in a field once seen as barren for ‘girl bands.’ Defying expectations, the 4-member group has risen to the top of the charts, capturing the hearts of fans and casual listeners alike with their unique sound and authenticity.
It took them just one year to reach the top. Following their hit ‘T.B.H’ earlier this year, they’ve continued their success streak with the pre-release track ‘FAKE IDOL’ from their second mini-album and the title track ‘My Name is Malguem’, completing an unprecedented ‘Triple Crown’ this year, marking the beginning of their prime.
Some had expressed concerns that ‘FAKE IDOL’ the pre-release track from their second mini-album, was so popular that the title track might not be able to surpass it. However, the result has been another hit, marking their third consecutive success. Their domination on TV music shows, is a testament to this, as QWER has already begun securing their first-ever No. 1 wins with ‘My Name is Malguem’ on ‘Show Champion’ on the 9th and ‘Music Core’ on the 12th.
As of the 10th, the song ‘My Name is Malguem’ has claimed the top spot in the YouTube Trending Videos (Music) category, which tracks the platform’s most popular content.
The fact that ‘My Name is Malguem’ reached No. 1 on YouTube, not with an official music video but with a special ‘listening clip’ designed for music enjoyment, has become a hot topic.
Their ‘real narratives,’ rather than fictional stories, have resonated strongly with both their fanbase and the general public. In response, QWER has produced a special documentary that showcases their journey.
The documentary, which covers the making of their much-discussed second mini-album, was released on the group’s official YouTube channel at 6 p.m. on the 10th.
