LISENE's 'Love Attack' hits No. 1 on Melon Top 10, topping IOI's 'Suddenly'

Love Attack by LISENE reached No. 1 on Melon's Top 10 chart on July 8, surpassing IOI's Suddenly.

Won-i, Lib, Minami, Mei, and Jena debuted March 26, 2024. The chart-topper is a 2024 release—it took over two years of slow burn to land at the top. Their special single Pretty Girl sat at No. 6 on the same chart at the same time.

The climb started with a clip on leader Won-i's YouTube channel. Minami, in a gyaru concept, shouted "Geoje~ Yaho~!" A moment that spread across short-form platforms. BTS's Jungkook and actress Jeon Ji-hyun both called it out. The group became promotional ambassadors for Geoje City, then Goyang City, then other hometowns of members.

Mei wrote her own part of the story. On July 6, appearing on the YouTube channel Seon and Together, she pledged to run to Geoje if Love Attack entered the chart's TOP 100. It reached No. 5. She kept the promise—walking 3.26km on the group's debut date of March 26, then completing a 6.25km run with host Seon. The internet started calling her "Maze Runner." "My heart rate went higher than it was during my debut stage," she said. Seon praised her for following through while noting, "We always need to be careful with our words."

The members announced the No. 1 news live. Tears came. "We didn't plan to bow to the public like this with hats on, but the news of 1st place came so suddenly," they said. (Fandom name: Rimain.) They ended the stream fast—a music broadcast stage was already waiting.
