Who is WSG Wannabe? Female version of MSG Wannabe also go viral and top all charts
New project girl group WSG Wannabe has taken over South Korea as their track ‘At That Moment’ topped all music charts: Bugs, MelOn, FLO, VIBE and Genie. ‘I Missed You’ followed at #2 and the third single ‘Clink Clink’ is steadily climbing the charts. In fact, ‘At That Moment’ has been at #1 on MelOn for five days straight and crossed 1 million unique listeners on MelOn making it the fastest female act song to cross this milestone in 2022. We even had fans of veteran stars like TWICE’s Nayeon trying to push WSG Wannabe out of the #1 position from the charts but to no avail. So who is WSG Wannabe?
Even the other tracks like ‘I Missed You’ amassed 1 million listeners on MelOn which happens to be an even bigger music streaming platform than Spotify in South Korea. ‘Clink Clink’ also held its own as it was #3 on Genie, Bugs and FLO while flitting in the top 5 of MelOn. These three tracks were released by three sub-units of WSG Wannabe, a project group formed of soloists, actresses, members from lesser popular K-pop girl groups like Laboum and SeeYa and older groups past their prime like Baby Vox, one of the first K-pop groups. They happen to be the female version of MSG Wannabe, a project group that too took over the charts in 2021.
