In Korea, it’s customary to believe that the first song you listen to in the new year will set the tone for the rest of it. With that in mind, MelOn has released its Top 100 chart for the first day of 2025.
WJSN’s “As You Wish” topped the chart and has consistently ranked high on the charts in previous years. The song’s lyrics speak to the idea that all hopes and dreams will come true.
Other notable tracks on the chart include Wonpil of DAY6’s “A Journey,” ILLIT’s “A Lucky Girl Syndrome,” Jaessbee’s “Every Moment With You,” and DAY6’s “Happy.”
