FIFTY FIFTY's 'Pookie' Climbs Music Charts as Group Prepares for ATA Festival 2025


Get ready to enjoy the 'ATA Festival 2025' with a stellar lineup. Are you prepared to dive into the details and enjoy the festival to the fullest?
The group FIFTY FIFTY is making waves on the music charts once again. Following the success of 'Cupid,' their track 'Pookie' is gaining attention, signaling another 'miracle of the underdog.'
On the 24th, 'Pookie' showed strong performance on music charts. Released in April, the song climbed to 34th place on Melon's 'Top 100' chart by 9 AM, surpassing its previous day's rank of 42.
The spotlight on 'Pookie' is largely thanks to member Moonshanel. Her 'male idol version' dance challenge on social media received positive feedback. Moonshanel's dance, characterized by expressive facial expressions and dynamic movements, has increased public interest in both her and the song.

Riding the wave of their chart resurgence, FIFTY FIFTY members will make their debut appearance at a baseball stadium. Moonshanel, Hana, and Athena will participate in their first ceremonial pitch and batting at the '2025 KBO League' game between Samsung Lions and SSG Landers at Daegu Samsung Lions Park. This event will further increase their visibility.

FIFTY FIFTY is receiving numerous festival invitations. They performed as a complete group at the 'S2O Taiwan' water music festival on the 13th. They are also set to perform at the global music festival 'ATA Festival 2025' at Hangang Nanji Park on September 27-28, appearing on the second day alongside The Boyz, QWER, Tours, Cravity, Ha Sung-woon, 82Major, Eunice, and Bad Villain.
With 'Pookie' marking their rise as a chart-topping icon and Kina's return completing the group, all eyes are on FIFTY FIFTY's future endeavors.
