Singer and actor Doh Kyung-soo’s ‘Popcorn’ is showing signs of enduring popularity.
The track ‘Popcorn’ from Doh Kyung-soo’s third mini-album ‘Growth’, released in 2024, is enjoying a resurgence, boosted by the spring season and wedding events, steadily climbing major music charts.
Originally released two years ago, the song has gained new momentum, peaking at 12th on the daily Melon TOP100 chart and surpassing 35 million total listens, demonstrating its widespread appeal. It has also exceeded 30 million streams on Spotify, and holds strong positions on major music platforms, ranking 8th on Genie’s real-time chart and 2nd on Bugs’ real-time chart.
Beyond a temporary buzz, the song has maintained a top position on key charts for over three weeks since early April, suggesting it might transition from a comeback hit to a long-term favorite. The warm and sweet atmosphere of the song aligns perfectly with the breezy spring season, captivating listeners’ attention.
Following this upward trend, Doh Kyung-soo appeared on Dingo Music’s ‘Vertical Live’, performing a 2026 live version of ‘Popcorn’. This performance reignited interest and expanded its reach, spreading further through social media algorithms, thus enhancing its longevity.
‘Popcorn’ captivates with its creative metaphor comparing the excitement of love to popping popcorn, combined with a whistle sound, cheerful rhythm, and Doh Kyung-soo’s unique smooth vocals.
Meanwhile, Doh Kyung-soo was active in acting last year with the film ‘Secret That Cannot Be Told’ and the Disney+ series ‘A Wonderful World’.
