SM Entertainment confirmed the physical single’s success on Oricon’s Daily Single Ranking on Monday, marking another significant achievement for the rising K-Pop subunit.

The vibrant “Yo-i-don!” was previously unveiled alongside its captivating music video, building anticipation ahead of the album drop.
A Prolific Presence in the Japanese Market
