Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform, ranked sixth on the first day of its release, ranking the highest among K-pop female solo artists.

It is known that a joint performance between Korea and the U.S. between K-pop star Black Pink and U.S. pop singer Lady Gaga will continue.
However, BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga's joint performance, which was planned during Yoon Suk Yeol's state visit to the U.S. at the end of April, was canceled.
However, considering that this year is the 70th anniversary of the Korea-U.S. alliance, a joint performance between South Korea and the U.S. will continue to be considered at other events to commemorate it.
A key ruling party official said on the 4th, "The joint performance between BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga was promoted to mark President Yoon's visit to the U.S. in April, but it did not happen."
If there is a chance, a joint performance between South Korea and the U.S. involving BTS, which is gaining huge popularity in the U.S., is also being considered. "If K-pop stars loved around the world participate in a performance to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Korea-U.S. alliance, the meaning of the Korea-U.S. alliance will become more special."
To mark the 70th anniversary of the Korea-U.S. alliance this year, South Korea and the U.S. will hold more than 150 commemorative events for the Korea-U.S. alliance, including academic conferences and cultural exchange events.
It is predicted that a joint performance between K-pop stars and U.S. pop stars could also take place in this extension.
However, the South Korea-U.S. joint performance, which was discussed in the wake of President Yoon's state visit at the end of April, was finally canceled.
The presidential office said on the 31st of last month, "We inform you that the performance reported in the media is not on the schedule of the president's visit to the U.S."
The "performance being reported in the media" refers to a joint performance by BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga, which has recently been cited as one of the reasons for the replacement of national security officials.
Analysts say that the U.S. side and the president's office canceled the concert schedule because of excessive controversy over the process of promoting the performance.
It is true that the fact that famous K-pop stars were mentioned had a great impact on the issue.
Opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, launched a full offensive, saying, "If a country's security chief was replaced due to a joint performance by BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga, it would be a laughing stock around the world."
The U.S. asked the South Korean Embassy in the U.S. to coordinate the joint performance seven times in January, but the National Security Office did not give an answer, and the joint performance was reportedly canceled after discussing the issue in a hurry.
