Creator Ralal shook the K-pop scene with the sub-character 'YUL'.
On the 13th, after the stage video of YUL's debut song 'Say It's Not' was released on KBS2 Music Bank, it recorded about 510,000 views (as of 4 p.m. on the 19th), attracting attention. This video drew attention with figures surpassing numerous active idols.
On this day's broadcast, YUL received favorable reviews by combining a 90s-inspired hairstyle and tiara styling, along with a performance where they sat down at the end of the stage to sing passionately, stimulating nostalgia among Generation MZ as well as Generation N. In addition, Ralal's distinctive powerful voice and vocal ability were demonstrated with clear vocals and an engaging performance.
'Say It's Not' is a track that modernizes the soulful R&B vibe of the 90s, singing the honest feelings of a girl wounded by heartbreak. Singer-songwriter Beomjin, who created a chart-topping hit with 'Greeting', participated in the lyrics, composition, and arrangement, enhancing the track's completeness.
Ralal's video has received a flurry of witty and clever reactions such as, 'It's madness to do this live,' 'It's that era itself,' 'It's scary but funny and touching,' and 'It reminds me of Yangpa and Ok Joo-hyun.'
Immediately after its release, Ralal took the top spot on the Genie latest release chart and ranked 65th on the Melon HOT 100 (as of 9 a.m. on the 9th), demonstrating their presence on the music charts. With the view count of the stage video further proving their impact, Ralal is solidifying their position as a singer.
