Group P1Harmony has made a notable impression on major U.S. media K-Pop year-end charts.
The Hollywood Reporter, a leading U.S. entertainment outlet, included P1Harmony’s ‘Pretty Boy’ in its ‘The 40 Best K-pop Songs of 2025’ list, released on the 29th (local time).
‘Pretty Boy’ is a track from the group’s eighth mini-album, ‘DUH!’, released last May. Member Keeho contributed to the composition, while Jiung, Intak, and Jongseob participated in the lyrics. The song features a restrained yet sexy vocal line over an addictive Afrobeat, showcasing a new charm of P1Harmony. The lyrics boldly express the group’s unique confidence, gaining explosive popularity, especially among North American listeners.
The Hollywood Reporter praised, “This list would not be complete without ‘Pretty Boy.’ The track is literally addictive and easily a fan favorite. It also serves as an excellent blueprint for their future path.”
Recently, P1Harmony also made it onto the ‘2025 Billboard K-Pop Artist 100’. Billboard noted that their eighth mini-album ‘DUH!’ and their first English album ‘EX’ both entered the top ranks of the ‘Billboard 200’ main album chart. ‘EX’ debuted at number 9, indicating their accelerating global rise.
Billboard additionally mentioned P1Harmony’s third world tour, the ‘2025 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H: MOST WANTED]’, highlighting their dynamic stage presence across eight North American cities.
This year, P1Harmony achieved significant milestones with two albums and a new world tour, including entering the top 10 of the ‘Billboard 200’ and successfully completing a North American arena tour. Expectations remain high for P1Harmony, as the group continues to reach new career heights in the global music market each year.
Meanwhile, P1Harmony is set to continue their world tour ‘P1ustage H: MOST WANTED’ in Europe next January, followed by encore concerts in Tokyo and Seoul in February and March, respectively.
