K-pop groups Girls’ Generation and MYNAME have scored success on Oricon’s Daily Singles chart!

On November 21, Girls’ Generation released their sixth Japanese single “Flower Power” while MYNAME released their second Japanese single “What’s Up”. Girls’ Generation’s “Flower Power” came in strong at #4 and MYNAME’s “What’s Up” rounded out the top five of Oricon’s Daily Singles Chart.

This achievement is much more meaningful for MYNAME members as this was their best ever result so far on the Oricon chart since debuting in Japan in July. The group also plans to hold two days of concerts at Osaka and Tokyo in December 15 and 17.
