(G)I-DLE's Yuqi to Debut Solo Track 'M.O.' on 'M Countdown' Today!
YUQI, a member of the popular K-pop group (G)I-DLE, is set to make her first music show appearance since the release of her solo single 'Motivation'.
Fans can catch YUQI performing the title track 'M.O.' for the first time on a music show this evening, May 18th, at 6 PM KST on Mnet's 'M Countdown'.
The performance is expected to showcase YUQI's powerful stage presence, perfectly embodying the song's edgy hip-hop vibe. Spectators are anticipating her captivating choreography, including the signature 'wiper dance' with wide arm movements and the 'M gesture' made with her hands, all set to the addictive chorus 'What’s your M.O.?'.
Since its release on May 16th, 'M.O.' has garnered significant attention, topping the real-time chart on Bugs, a domestic music platform, and ranking high on Melon's HOT 100 (30-day) chart. The single also proved YUQI's global appeal by charting in the top tiers in nine countries on the US iTunes chart. Furthermore, the single 'Motivation' achieved number one on the daily digital album bestseller charts on China's leading music platforms, QQ Music and Kugou Music.
'M.O.', a self-composed track by YUQI, conveys a message about believing in one's own intuition as the driving force, rather than being constrained by external gazes or rules. The song artfully blends vintage drum loops and a heavy bassline with YUQI's strong vocal tone, offering a modern interpretation of 1990s boom-bap hip-hop.
Embracing an old-school hip-hop sound, YUQI will continue to meet with fans through various music programs, following her 'M Countdown' debut, including KBS2's 'Music Bank' on May 19th.
