According to information from YG Entertainment announced on January 21 (Korean time), "Really like you" - a B-side song in the debut studio album DRIP has risen to number 77 on the weekly Top 100 trending songs chart of YouTube Korea, in the period from January 9 to 15, 2026. Notably, this song was released more than a year ago, showing a rare "rebirth" for a song that is not an official promotional single.
Not only on YouTube, "Really like you" also showed a clear increase on many major music platforms. On Spotify Korea, the song rose 47 places on the weekly Top Songs chart. At the same time, the song also rose on three weekly charts of Circle Chart, including Global K-pop, Digital and Streaming. On other domestic and international platforms such as Apple Music, Melon and Vibe, "Really like you" continuously recorded improved rankings, in which Apple Music recorded the song reaching the highest position at 12th.
The main driving force for this growth comes from a challenge trend spreading strongly on social networks. A video of performing "Really like you" at Baby Monster's fan concert in Japan in December last year was suddenly widely shared, attracting attention thanks to the key dance that creates a hand-shaped "O" combined with cute expressions. From then on, the challenge quickly spread on TikTok and short video platforms, not only in the K-pop fan community but also attracted the response of many artists and content creators.
Reflecting the heat of the trend, "Really like you" topped the TikTok Korea Music Viral 50 chart for 5 consecutive days, from January 11 to 15, while maintaining a high ranking on both the Viral 50 and Rising 50 charts. As of January 21, the number of videos using this song on TikTok has exceeded 100,000, showing a sustainable popularity level.
In that context, Baby Monster has also just surpassed the milestone of 11 million people registered on the official YouTube channel, becoming one of the K-pop girl groups that achieved this achievement fastest. With the effect of the new year's challenge trend, the group is expected to continue to attract great attention in its music career in 2026.
