Here is the response from fans:

  • “I don’t know why this song is not famous, it’s a crazy song.”
  • “Woojin’s music deserves to be appreciated by many people.”
  • “It’s a crime that it doesn’t have more views.”
  • “He has such a strong vocal, hope his new agent allows him to do more exploration, music, and comebacks more often!”

Despite the support from numerous CUBS on the MV, the majority of attention was focused on Kim Woojin’s album sales, which totaled 856 on its first day according to Hanteo Chart.

On Twitter, netizens on social media platform X reacted to the idol’s sales performance. Despite high expectations for the idol’s success due to his exclusive contract with Kustomade, the newest subsidiary label of SM Entertainment, many mocked Woojin’s physical album charting.

Woojin became a member of Stray Kids on March 25, 2018. Unfortunately, his time in the group was brief, as JYP Entertainment announced his departure from both the group and the company on October 27, 2019, citing personal reasons.

Following his departure from JYPE, Woojin entered into an exclusive contract with 10x Entertainment. According to the agency, they will offer full support for Woojin’s endeavors in various areas and, thanks to their resources, he is planning to make his solo debut.

“We are pleased to announce that we have entered into an exclusive contract with Kim Woojin. Our team is fully committed to supporting him in all his endeavors and helping him reach new heights. As part of this partnership, we are excited to announce that we will be producing his highly anticipated solo debut album in 2021.”

Woojin’s signing with Kreation Music Rights’ Kustomade in March 2024 was met with excitement and anticipation from fans.
