Lee Soo-man Does It Again: A2O LITE Sweeps Music Show Trophies

Rookie girl group A2O LITE has claimed three music show trophies just nine days after its debut.

A2O LITE took first place on Mnet's "M Countdown" with its debut single "NEON" on Oct. 22. The win followed victories on SBS Life's "The Show" on Oct. 20 and MBC M's "Show Champion" on Oct. 21, giving the group three consecutive music show wins.

The members thanked fans in their acceptance speech. "We've been spending each day happily thanks to our fans," the group said. "Thank you so much to all the fans who always support us. We'll keep working hard to prove ourselves worthy of this award."

They also expressed gratitude to Lee Soo-man, the group's key producer, as well as their agency staff and other team members.

A2O LITE performed "NEON" in sporty outfits. The performance opened with a pair dance by Aijing and Xili before transitioning into synchronized group choreography. After the win was announced, the members delivered a live encore performance using handheld microphones.

"NEON" has also performed strongly on music charts. The song held the No. 1 spot on Melon's TOP100 chart for eight consecutive days, from Oct. 15 through Oct. 22. It also topped Circle Chart's Global K-pop Chart and Digital Chart for week 42, along with Spotify's daily chart in South Korea and Shazam's South Korea chart.

Internationally, "NEON" reached No. 4 on Apple Music's "Top 100: Global" chart. In China, the song topped QQ Music's new song, popular song and music video charts.

A2O LITE made its debut with "NEON" on Oct. 13. The group had attracted attention even before its debut as a new girl group produced by Lee Soo-man.
