π° Music Bank No. 1 & Chart Sensationβ¦ The Secret Behind the Rise of Mid-sized Idols tripleS and RESCENE
"In the K-pop market, where the concentration of talent in large entertainment agencies has intensified, a "rebellion of small and medium-sized idols" is continuing. Girl groups tripleS and RESCENE have proven the competitiveness of small and medium-sized idols by achieving notable results on music shows and major music charts, respectively.
tripleS, under Mod House, topped KBS 2TV's "Music Bank" on the 12th with "Baby Flower," the title track from Part 1 of their new full-group album, "ASSEMBLE26 LOVE & POP." This marks the first time tripleS, who debuted in 2023, has achieved a number one ranking on a terrestrial music show.
tripleS also set a new personal best in album sales. According to Hanteo Chart data, the album recorded 567,600 copies in first-week sales. This is a new personal record, surpassing the 510,000 copies sold of their previous work released last year. Compared to the 150,000 copies recorded for their first full-group album released in 2024, this confirms that the size of their fandom has shown remarkable growth.
Behind tripleS's growth lies a fan-participatory operational approach. As a 24-member group, they have built a solid fandom based on a system that incorporates fan voting results from their proprietary app 'COSMO' into album concepts, Dimension (unit) combinations, and title track selection. In addition, the system that links the revenue from 'Objects,' individual photo cards utilizing NFT (Non-Fungible Token) technology, to the members' settlements is cited as a unique differentiating factor for tripleS.
#Jiyeon, the member elected as the leader for this comeback through fan voting, told Edaily on the 16th, "The teamwork in which all members rely on and learn from each other to move forward is also serving as the driving force behind our steady growth." Jiyeon continued, "It is an honor and I am grateful to have achieved first place on music shows and a career-high album release," adding, "I sincerely thank the 'WAV' (fandom name) for sending us support and love. We want to continue making songs with our own unique color that can be a source of strength for everyone."
