iKON Tops Charts in 11 Countries With Title Song "RHYTHM TA"

iKON is the hottest issue in the K-pop scene right now, and their new half album is receiving love from 11 countries.

The group’s half album “WELCOME BACK,” which was released on October 1, topped iTunes Charts in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Panama, Peru, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. They even reached 24th place in Canada and 26th in the United States.

“RHYTHM TA” is a groovy hip-hop song that is 180 degrees different from their previous song “MY TYPE,” which is soft and sweet. The repetition of the lyrics “RHYTHM TA” makes the song addicting and easy to catch on to.

These numbers will surely grow exponentially in the hours and days to come. In the music video for “RHYTHM TA,” the members can be seen fierce and free with impressive visuals. In “AIRPLANE,” B.I and BOBBY show off their acting skills in an overall poetic and sweet picture.

Meanwhile, iKON held “OPENING CEREMONY” through Naver’s V App on September 30 before the release of their songs.

“’RHYTHM TA’ is a fierce song with a strong beat. I hope you are excited for it. From our half album to our full album in November, we have a lot in store,” they say.
