AB6IX’s ‘STUPID’ is catching a second wind, drawing fresh attention as it begins a chart resurgence.

Released on August 25 as the title track of the group’s 10th EP ‘UPSIDE DOWN,’ the pop dance cut channels a buoyant pop-rock drive into an inner cry blooming from past doubts. It made a strong first impression on release, and lately it’s spreading across social media for its unmistakable throwback, third-gen K-pop vibe.

Four months on, ‘STUPID’ has entered Melon’s Rising 31 chart―on Korea’s largest streaming platform―and cracked YouTube Music’s daily music video chart, signaling real momentum.

Label Brand New Music says that, buoyed by listener support, it will roll out a wave of new content to spotlight AB6IX’s underrated gems, starting with ‘STUPID.’

Meanwhile, AB6IX wrapped promotions for their 10th EP and remain active across dramas, variety shows, and YouTube content. The group also picked up a win in the Hallyu Idol category at YKA FESTA 2025, underscoring their growing global reach.
