Rising K-Pop Stars UNIS Clinch Their First Music Show Win with ‘SWICY’
Rookie girl group UNIS has taken a major leap in their career by securing their first-ever music show win. On May 23, the group claimed the top spot on MBC M’s popular music program ‘Show! Champion’ with their second mini album ‘SWICY’ and its title track of the same name.
This milestone holds extra significance as the group had named chart-topping success as their main goal during the showcase event held on May 15. During the event, they expressed, “We’re grateful for the Rookie of the Year awards we’ve received, but we’ve yet to win first place on a music show. We hope ‘SWICY’ can earn us that honor.”
That dream has now come true. UNIS delivered a captivating performance rich with the contrasting flavors of sweetness and spiciness that define ‘SWICY,’ and were ultimately named the show’s Champion Song winners.
The emotional moment brought some of the members to tears. “Thank you so much to CEO Choi Jae-woo and our F&F Entertainment staff who work so hard for us. We’re thrilled to experience the joy of getting first place,” shared the group. UNIS also dedicated this win to their loyal fans, EverAfter, saying, “We love you and thank you for making this possible.”
UNIS’s encore stage turned into an emotional celebration, as the eight members performed through tears, showcasing their genuine joy and youthful energy.
But the accolades don’t stop there. ‘SWICY’ is currently dominating iTunes Top Albums charts in 14 different countries and climbing major domestic charts like Melon and Bugs. The music video for ‘SWICY’ has also surpassed 12 million views, reflecting the group’s rapidly growing international fanbase.
Having broken their own initial album sales record with their previous release ‘CURIOUS,’ UNIS continues their upward trajectory. With ‘SWICY,’ they not only reached their goal of a music show win but also established a firm foundation for lasting success in the K-Pop industry. Fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see what bold moves UNIS will make next.
As they bask in the glow of their first trophy, UNIS is set to continue active promotions for ‘SWICY.’
