The Song that Won't Die? Taeyang's "Eyes, Nose, Lips" Gets a New Nickname for Its Chart Topping Longevity

Taeyang‘s hit single, “Eyes, Nose, Lips,” from his latest album, “Rise,” has earned itself a nickname that refers to its long-running popularity.

Released June 2, “Eyes, Nose, Lips” continued to be a hit for many weeks, topping Melon‘s weekly chart for four weeks. In another major music site, Gaon, the song earned first place in the monthly digital and streaming charts.
