YENA’s new single “Catch Catch” is catching fire in China, proving her growing global pull.

She dropped her fifth mini album “LOVE CATCHER” on the 11th. Since then, the title track “Catch Catch” has been gaining traction on major platforms in China, drawing steady reactions from local fans.

On Bilibili, the “Catch Catch” music video topped 1 million views just 49 hours after release and hit 1.5 million views as of the 15th. That’s a faster climb than her previous track “NEMO,” signaling YENA’s rising popularity in the market.

Over on Douyin, videos using the “Catch Catch” challenge hashtag have surpassed 23 million views, keeping the challenge trend going strong. The combo of an addictive hook and standout point choreography is spreading fast and inspiring global fan participation.

The song is also making moves on music charts. On the 12th, right after the album dropped, YENA took No. 1 on QQ Music’s Soaring Chart and held the spot for 24 hours. Every track on the album has entered the charts, with strong placements across the Popular, Trend, and Korean charts, reflecting the heat on the ground.

YENA is actively promoting “Catch Catch,” lighting up each stage with a bright, high-energy performance that blends an earworm melody with her signature kitschy vibe.
