๐Ÿ”ฅTUIDE missed the Melon chart and people can't agree why

HYBE's newest girl group TUIDE debuted in August, and "Sun Kiss" peaked at #108 on Melon, the only debut from a HYBE girl group that never made the top 100. One side on theqoo says the song is good and the problem is the group just doesn't stand out yet. The other side says it's planning: almost no promotion, and a gloomy MV shot all the way in Iceland.

I'm with the second group. A whole group posing on a jeep in Iceland for a song called Sun Kiss tells you the concept meeting went wrong before anyone sang a note.

I found out they existed from this post, so for me it's very real. my own promotion cycle is also zero, we have that in common

7Minjae2026.10.10

I can already see Google asking 'did you mean guide'. Hard to hype a group that autocorrect is trying to fix

7Minjae2026.10.11

Everyone says 'no promotion' but nobody says what the promo would've been. A few variety spots? Is that really the gap between #108 and the top 100?

7Dahye2026.10.10

same, I found out they existed from this post. at least the promotion is working, just slowly and through a forum. I'm pressing play after this

7Sebin2026.10.10

both can be true, the members need time and the planning was weak. it's been a month and a half

6Hayoon2026.10.10

HYBE debuting a girl group and nobody hearing about it is wild. they promoted ILLIT like crazy

6Ioana2026.10.10

devil's advocate: #108 for a debut with zero promo is not a disaster. people are just used to HYBE groups hitting #1

fair, but the comparison is with their own label mates. Fearless hit #8 and Magnetic went #1

'fine doesn't chart' is going in my exam notes ๐Ÿ˜ญ also a jeep in Iceland for a song called Sun Kiss?? the sun was NOT invited ๐ŸŒž

6Lukas932026.10.10

is 'no promotion' a real thing or just a fandom excuse though

vocab: ์ฐจํŠธ์•„์›ƒ (chart-out) is what Korean fans say when a song falls out of a chart. 108 on Melon is basically standing outside the club with your name not on the list

7Geonwoo2026.10.10

#108 for a HYBE debut is like launching a game on Steam with no trailer. might be great, nobody's wishlisted it.

7Haneul2026.10.10

launching with no trailer ๐Ÿ˜ญ and then wondering why nobody wishlisted. ok I'm wishlisting them now ๐Ÿฅนโœจ

I'll give the stylist the Iceland jeep, it's a clean look. Doesn't help when nobody's heard the song.

7Gaeun2026.10.10

The group name doesn't help either. TUIDE looks like a typo when you type it in a search bar, which is a real problem when nobody's heard of you yet.

'did you mean guide' is so rude to a debut ๐Ÿ˜ญ give them a month, the Iceland jeep could be a meme if they lean in
