The intense rhythm-filled intro of ‘BOSS’ flowed as A2O MAY’s silhouettes on stage constantly intersected with light and shadows. As the curtain rose, the audience’s attention naturally focused on the five members’ gazes and gestures, enveloped in tension and confidence like a mist. The accumulated numbers shone not just as mere records, but as the result of passion poured out in every moment. In the moment when Lee Soo-man’s new sound and the sensibility of the younger generation intersected, one might wonder if any question mark was not a step towards a higher place.
A2O MAY (CHENYU, SHIJIE, QUCHANG, MICHE, KAT) entered the 8th place on the QQ Music Hot Song chart, China’s largest music streaming platform, with their second single ‘BOSS’ released on April 25th. They reached the top spot on the new song chart and have maintained their position in the top ranks. Riding on this success, ‘BOSS’ also secured a spot in the top 10 on the main chart. Moreover, ‘BOSS’ simultaneously entered the MediaBase TOP 100 on the U.S. mainstream radio chart. This achievement followed their debut song ‘Under My Skin’ reaching 39th place, marking the first time a Chinese artist consecutively entered the top 100 with two songs.
To prove the popularity of ‘BOSS,’ the music video released on Chinese Weibo and YouTube has garnered a total of 60 million views. A2O MAY communicates with fans through their unique music color they call ‘Zalpha Pop.’ The powerful drums, piercing sirens, and skillfully arranged sounds boil up the tension of the song. Cleverly inserted sources add individuality, while their intense and energetic performances on stage establish a worldview that differentiates them from existing girl groups.
Under the visionary leadership of Lee Soo-man at A2O Entertainment, A2O MAY encapsulates the spirit of the new generation in their music. Since their successful debut in December last year, they have been praised for displaying even more sophisticated and dynamic charisma in this comeback. Particularly, they have garnered steady support from global fans, accumulating real-time indicators and being recognized as entering the ranks of global girl groups.
A2O MAY will be participating in the ‘102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango’ festival in Huntington Beach, USA on the 10th, where they will showcase their stage alongside world-renowned artists such as Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, and David Guetta. They are considered the first official invitation for a Chinese artist, and they are preparing to write a new chapter at the intersection of the global music market that producer Lee Soo-man aims for.
Like the first verse of ‘BOSS’ that cuts through the cold city night, A2O MAY is stirring up new winds with their individuality and voices. The achievements left in numbers are not just records but traces of time breathed with fans and symbols of the prelude to the unfolding global journey ahead. As expectations gather for what color of energy and emotions will pour out on the next stage, A2O MAY will stand at the center of the world stage through the ‘102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango’ festival in Huntington Beach, USA on the 10th.
