KEYVITUP enters US YouTube Shorts TOP 20 four months after debut

KEYVITUP's debut title track KEYVITUP hit the US YouTube Shorts chart TOP 20 four months after the group's April debut. The chart runs thick with global pop names, so a five-member boy group this fresh landing here reads as a real move.

Produced by singer-actor Kim Jae-joong—his first boy group—KEYVITUP has already stacked US placements: #1 on the US iTunes K-pop Music Video chart, plus top spots on Amazon Music's Best Seller Songs and Hot New Release Songs charts.

The group debuted with two title tracks, KEYVITUP and LEGENDARY. All members are credited on the lyrics for both.

KEYVITUP arrived in the United States on August 14 for KCON LA 2026, running local promotions around the event. The Shorts chart entry landed mid-KCON—timing that works either way.

In May, the group told Rolling Stone their debut goal straight: "Our debut goal is to have many people remember and recognize the team KEYVITUP clearly." They want to show "how much we are growing and developing" through this run.

Once US promotions wrap, the group plans to keep pushing forward and building their fanbase.
