The group H1-KEY's "It Was Summer" has entered domestic major music charts, signaling the birth of a new "summer song."
H1-KEY (Seo-i, Riina, Hwisa, Yell) released their mini-album "Lovestruck" on the 26th of last month, and the title track "It Was Summer" has entered the top 100 chart of major domestic music sites, ranking 94th on Melon, 50th on Genie, 32nd on Bugs, 64th on Flo, and 30th on Vibe as of 8 a.m. on the 3rd.
Earlier, "It Was Summer" recorded the 12th position on the Melon Hot 100 chart after release and has shown a steady upward trend, proving its strength by entering the top 100 chart. This is a faster rise compared to H1-KEY's hit song "A Rose Bloomed Between Buildings" (Gun-sapijang), drawing attention towards surpassing their own highest ranking in the future.
This new release is also making an impact on global charts. It has entered the iTunes album charts of three countries and the Japanese K-pop chart rankings, and several tracks from the album have also settled on multiple charts. It is quickly rising as a representative summer song, making a name for itself in the top ranks of Apple Music's charts in two countries.
"Lovestruck" is an album released about a year after the release of the mini-album "LOVE or HATE" in June of last year. It features a diverse range of music genres and showcases H1-KEY's music spectrum that has been further expanded compared to before.
With its energetic new song and performance targeting summer, as well as their visually enhanced appearance on music shows, H1-KEY is receiving a hot response. As a result, both the title track "A Rose Bloomed Between Buildings" from their first mini-album and the title track "Let It Burn" from their third mini-album are being highlighted again, showing signs of a resurgence.
H1-KEY, recognized for both their popularity and musicality with the hit song "A Rose Bloomed Between Buildings," has once again proven their music power with "It Was Summer." In particular, they have reaffirmed their status as a leading girl group by demonstrating their capability to handle broad concepts and commanding stage presence, earning them the title of "the trusted and listened-to H1-KEY."
H1-KEY continues their active comeback activities through various music shows and diverse online and offline content.
