군백기 없다..방탄소년단 ‘봄날’ 6년 만 역주행, 83개 지역 깜짝 1위

군백기 없다..방탄소년단 ‘봄날’ 6년 만 역주행, 83개 지역 깜짝 1위 그룹 방탄소년단(BTS, RM 진 슈가 제이홉 지민 뷔 정국)의 ‘봄날’이 6년 만에 또 한번 글로벌 차트를 강타했다. 지난 13일 일본 오리콘 차트가 발표한 ‘데일리 디지털 싱글 랭킹'(12월 12일 자)에서 방탄소년단이 2017년 발매한 ‘WINGS 외전: YOU NEVER WALK ALONE’의 타이틀곡 ‘봄날’이 깜짝 1위에 올랐다. 이 차트의 순위권 밖에 자리했던 ‘봄날’이 순위가 급상승하며 1위로 직행한 것이다. 또한 ‘봄날’은 12일부터 14일 오전 8시까지 기준으로 미국, 일본, 독일, 영국, 프랑스 등을 비롯해 총 83개 국가/지역의 아이튠즈 ‘톱 송’ 차트 1위를 찍었다. 다수의 국가/지역 ‘톱 송’ 차트에서 연말을 맞아 캐럴(Carol) 장르가 강세를 보이는 가운데, 머라이어 캐리(Mariah Carey)의 메가 히트곡 ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’를 제치고 ‘봄날’이 차트 정상에 올라 눈길을 끈다. 이 같은 ‘봄날’의 역주행에는 아미(ARMY. 팬덤명)의 저력이 있었다. 지난 12일부로 전원 군 복무에 돌입한 방탄소년단의 오는 2025년 완전체 활동을 기다리는 팬들의 따뜻한 마음이 차트에 반영된 것으로 예상된다. 한편, ‘봄날’은 브릿 록(Brit-rock)적인 감성과 일렉트로닉 사운드가 결합된 얼터너티브 힙합(Alternative hip-hop) 장르의 곡으로, RM과 슈가가 작곡에 참여해 멀어진 친구와의 만남을 기다리며 희망을 잃지 않겠다는 메시지를 곡에 담았다.

Track 1, “BET ON ME,” is a song that JYP Entertainment’s (hereafter JYP) representative producer Park Jin-young wrote lyrics for after being inspired by a conversation with ITZY members. It deeply resonates with listeners. The music video, pre-released on July 3rd, depicts the youthful energy of running towards a bright light and evokes empathy from viewers, garnering high praise such as topping the YouTube Trending Worldwide chart. The beautiful harmony between JYP’s leader Park Jin-young and ITZY in “BET ON ME” is waiting for the official release. Track 3, “None of My Business,” exploded with synergy after meeting with the most powerful performers. ITZY, the “K-pop representative performer” who shines the most on stage, satisfied fans by wearing the choreography of “K-pop representative dance team” La Chica and performing numerous hit song performances. After the popularity of the pre-released music video, the group opened performance videos and dance practice videos, showcasing the group’s outstanding expression, La Chica’s signature dance, and the stunning visual effects of the performance. A short-form challenge video that enjoys the catchy choreography has also become popular. In addition to “Bratty,” “Psychic Lover,” and “Kill Shot,” ITZY’s six total songs, including “BET ON ME” and “None of My Business,” are expected to decorate summer playlists with their diversity.
