A2O LITE, dubbed "Lee Soo-man's girl group," has claimed the top spot on a music show just one week after their debut.
A2O LITE (Young, Oa, Ayune, Aijing, Himeki, Rada, Xili, Vora, Merci) took first place with their debut digital single "NEON" on the broadcast of SBS Life's "The Show" on October 20. The achievement came just seven days after releasing "NEON" and officially debuting on October 13. It is particularly noteworthy that they reached No. 1 purely through digital chart performance with a digital single, without any physical album sales.
On this day, A2O LITE delivered their main stage performance followed by a first-place encore stage. While expressing their joy, the members showcased an unwavering live encore performance, astonishing viewers with a level of skill rarely seen from a group whose members have an average age of 14.9 years.
"NEON" has held the No. 1 spot on the Melon TOP 100 chart for six consecutive days starting October 15. After climbing to No. 1 on the Melon TOP 100 at 11:00 p.m. on October 14, just 29 hours after its release, the song also claimed the top spot on the Spotify Korea chart and the YouTube Music music video chart. It further reached No. 4 on Apple Music's "Today's Top 100: Global" chart, and the group announced that it ranked No. 1 on Apple Music's Top Singles charts in six regions as well as China's QQ Music charts for New Songs, Popular Songs, and Music Videos.
