Daesung's Trot Comeback 'Exceeding Limit' Takes Charts by Storm, Rivaling Lim Young-woong

Daesung, formerly of BIGBANG, is making waves in the music industry with his latest trot single, 'Exceeding Limit' (한도초과).

Released on the 10th, 'Exceeding Limit' marks Daesung's return to trot after 16 years, following his hit 'Look at Me, Gwisun' in 2008. His distinctive, powerful voice, coupled with an addictive melody and witty lyrics, has captured listeners' attention.

The song defies the common notion that winter is for ballads, immediately claiming the number one spot on Melon's trot chart upon release. Daesung is now in fierce competition with Lim Young-woong for top chart positions, proving his immense popularity.

The music video has also garnered nearly 5 million views within five days of its release, showcasing Daesung's prowess as a trot artist. The video, featuring a blind date concept with TWICE's Sana, delights fans with Daesung's cheerful expressions and signature choreography.

'Exceeding Limit' combines a positive message with Daesung's approachable charm, making it an easy-to-sing-along track for all ages. It's expected to be a hit at gatherings and karaoke sessions.

In addition to the title track, the single includes 'A Rose' (장미 한 송이), a synth-rock based song, and the emotional ballad 'I Guess I Look Good Alone' (혼자가 어울리나 봐), offering a glimpse into Daesung's diverse musical spectrum.

Daesung is set to continue his active promotions with his 'Daesung 2025 Asia Tour D'S WAVE Encore Seoul' concert series from January 2nd to 4th at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium.

Netizens are showing enthusiastic reactions, commenting, "As expected of Daesung! He pulls off trot so well too," and "Recognized as the trot emperor returning after 16 years," with many expressing eagerness to see him perform live soon.
