The group TOMORROW X TOGETHER is enjoying high popularity after consecutively hitting with the digital single 'Love Language' and the drama OST 'When That Day Comes.'
According to their agency Big Hit Music on the 23rd, the cumulative view count of the TOMORROW X TOGETHER (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai) 'Love Language' dance challenge videos posted on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts has exceeded 500 million views on that day.
Their refreshing and vibrant choreography is generating buzz. After captivating global fans with energetic group performances and what is known as the 'group abs exposure' choreography, the highlight choreography featuring hand gestures that depict the unraveling of each other's 'Love Language' and flashy steps was picked up by professional dancers, sparking a challenge craze.
The audio of 'Love Language' has also received a positive response on global charts, including reaching No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 'World Digital Song Sales' (as of May 17). The song debuted at No. 2 on the Japan Oricon chart 'Daily Digital Single Ranking' (as of May 2) and reached No. 1 for four consecutive days on the LINE MUSIC 'Song Top 100' daily chart (from May 3 to May 6).
The storm surrounding 'When That Day Comes,' the OST Part 9 for the cable channel tvN weekend drama 'Resident Playbook,' sung by TOMORROW X TOGETHER, is also fierce. This song, which appears in the drama as the only hit song from Um Jaeil (played by Kang Yuseok) during his past activities as a member of the idol group HI-BOYZ, has shown a strong presence both on YouTube charts and music streaming sites.
The performance video teaser for 'When That Day Comes,' featuring Soobin and Yeonjun along with actor Kang Yuseok, quickly topped the YouTube trending videos at No. 1 right after its release and reached No. 2 on trending music (as of May 21). The audio surged to No. 20 on the domestic music chart Melon 'Top 100.'
Thanks to this popularity, Soobin and Yeonjun appeared on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 22nd, presenting a special stage with DI and TOPKEY from HI-BOYZ. As the stage was revealed, fans immersed in the drama's worldview reacted enthusiastically, saying, 'DI and TOPKEY's visuals are legendary,' 'They still look amazing after 12 years,' and 'The voices and visuals of TOMORROW X TOGETHER's Soobin and Yeonjun are impressive.'
TOMORROW X TOGETHER will conclude their world tour 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR 'ACT : PROMISE' - EP. 2 -' on the 24th and 25th in Tokyo. After successfully holding over 100 solo concerts and serving as headliners at major music festivals like Lollapalooza Chicago, Summer Sonic in Japan, and AXE Ceremonia in Mexico, expectations are building for their next steps.
