Recently, a fourth-generation group has gained attention with their most recent release!

In 2020, Woollim Entertainment debuted a seven-member boy group called DRIPPIN. Following Alex‘s departure in 2023, the group has since promoted as six.

Like the other artists under Woollim Entertainment, the group has only released single albums since its first full album was released in 2022. However, it seems this has not affected their popularity.

The group’s previous album, Beautiful Maze, sold 100 thousand more than the one before it.

On August 19, the group returned with another single album titled Weekend, featuring the title track of the same name.

The music video currently has around 1.3 million views, just a day after release. The group’s growth in popularity can be seen through their YouTube account, where they have gained over 130 thousand followers in just two days, and over 273 thousand in less than a week.

The group’s album sales have also increased a great deal, beating Beautiful Maze‘s first week sales by nearly 60 thousand. Following the second day of sales, DRIPPIN passed the 100 thousand mark and hit their highest first week sales ever.
