FIFTY FIFTY’s “Cupid” was everywhere in 2023, especially TikTok. With the platform’s year-end report, the sped-up version comes out on top.

Formed in 2022, the group has quickly become K-pop darlings from their fizzy pop music, as evidenced by their The Beginning set released in September 2023.

Despite contracts for three members being terminated, Keena made public appearances on behalf of the band, as she did at the Billboard Music Awards. Reportedly, a new lineup is expected sometime in the future.

Turmoil aside, they had quite a breakout year. Their song “Cupid” went viral on TikTok, leading to a No. 100 debut and eventual No. 17 peak on Billboard’s Hot 100. Within four months of their self-titled debut, they became the K-pop band with the quickest Hot 100 entry.
