On January 26, South Korean boy group Golden Child made their Japanese debut with the single ‘A WOO!!’ Less than a week later, Japan’s Oricon chart officially announced on February 1 that the track has topped Oricon’s weekly singles chart for the week of January 24 to 30. This makes Golden Child the sixth foreign artist in history to hit number 1 with a debut single on the chart.
Additionally, ‘A WOO!!’ also debuted at number 1 on Oricon’s daily singles chart, Billboard Japan’s Single Sales chart, as well as Tower Records’ nationwide single sales chart immediately upon the song’s release. Golden Child’s Japanese debut single album also includes Japanese versions of their Korean debut song ‘DamDaDi’, as well as their 2019 hit song ‘WANNABE’.
Golden Child’s energetic Japanese debut track features a powerful chorus that emulates the cry of a wolf, and has a charismatic choreography to go with. Check out the music video for Golden Child’s ‘A WOO!!’, below:
