The success of "Get A Guitar" stands out, as it has stayed on Melon’s monthly charts for an impressive 15 months in a row since its release in September 2023. The track continues to earn love from listeners, proving its lasting popularity.

Meanwhile, "Love 119," which was released in January 2024, has also made waves, holding strong on the monthly charts for 12 months straight. The song is currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity as it gets extra attention during the winter season, showing just how much listeners adore it.
