[엑스포츠뉴스=이덕행 기자] While MINO has successfully maintained his no. 1 spot on music charts for 5 consecutive days, his MV almost reached 10 million views.
As of November 30, 9AM, the title song ‘FIANCÉ’ from MINO’s first official album ‘XX’ released on the 26th maintained its top position on music charts for 5 consecutive days including Melon, which is Korea’s largest music streaming platform. The song is strongly marking its presence despite the rush of new releases by other popular artists.
The MV for ‘FIANCÉ’ also reached 9.63 million views as of today at 9 AM, almost reaching 10 million views. The MV for ‘FIANCÉ’ directed by Seo Hyunseung grabbed the viewers’ attention with MINO’s acting as a king who misses the one he loves.
MINO participated in the writing, composing, and producing of all 12 tracks from the album ‘XX’, including the title song ‘FIANCÉ’.
The song ‘FIANCÉ’ samples a popular song from the 70s titled ‘Soyanggang Maid’, combining the genre of Hip-Hop and trot with sophistication. The familiar melody and its fresh variations on rhythm sounds fresh, while the catchy melody and lyrics of the hook captures the ears of the listeners. The lyrics metaphorically express someone who’s missed as ‘fiancé’ or ‘blue bird’.
The album ‘XX’ topped iTunes Album Charts in 17 different countries, while the song ‘FIANCÉ’ topped iTunes Song Charts in 9 different countries. He proved the heated interest on MINO as a ‘solo artist’ not only in Korea, but also overseas.
US Billboard has also favorably reviewed, “WINNER’s MINO made a comeback with a new genre combining elements of trot music into Hip-Hop. The MV that was inspired by traditional Korean culture and beauty is also impressive”.
After releasing his first-ever solo album in 5 years after making debut, MINO will perform his music on a music broadcast for the first time through ‘MBC Show! Music Core’ on December 1.
