In the midst of the popularity of the drama 'Hospital Playlist' soundtrack which dominated various music charts, a viral song emerged that broke the charts. This song is titled 'Gang' which was originally sung by Rain.
'Gang' is a song that Rain released in 2017 and is said to be the worst song of the singer whose real name is Jung Ji Hoon. But lately it became viral thanks to netizens who made a funny dance cover video of the song.
Now Rain's popularity which had dropped over the last few years has even skyrocketed again because of the 'Gang'. Especially after he appeared on the MBC variety show with Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Hyori for the past few weeks.
Unfortunately, the song 'Gang' which skyrocketed on the charts in the last 24 hours is not the original version sung by Rain. But the remix version brought by famous rapper like Sik-K, Jay Park, pH-1, and HAON. The 'gang' that had been viral because it became a mockery turned into a cool song in the hands of rappers.
Unlike most K-Pop songs that are popular lately thanks to viral videos (like 'Up and Down' from EXID for example), the original song 'Gang' sung by Rain is not seen on the top 20 compilation charts of the South Korean music streaming platform on the Instiz Chart.
On the first weekend of June 2020, besides the 'Gang' of the top 10 charts, it was still colored by a number of songs that were still well liked on the chart. Also included is the 'Hospital Playlist' OST. TWICE's new song performance 'MORE & MORE' unfortunately had to succumb from the remix version of 'Gang'.
Here are 10 of the most popular K-Pop songs on the South Korean music chart this week:
1. Gang - Sik-K, Jay Park, pH-1, and HAON
2. I Knew I Love - Jeon Mi Do
3. Eight - IU feat. Suga 'BTS'
4. MORE & MORE - TWICE
5. Aloha - Jo Jung Suk
6. You To Me, Me To You - Mido and Falasol
7. Nonstop - Oh My Girl
