Aidynn & Blue’s “Full House” peaks at 59 on weekly Gaon Chart

No one was expecting the release of Full House. Neither Blue from Knight and Aidynn from CHARM released any announcements on social media or discussed the music beforehand; therefore, fans and netizens were completely taken back when the digital release was suggested to watch online. What was especially interesting for everyone was that the two have a collaboration name, and many are wondering whether that is indication that the boys will release another song together as a unit apart from their respective groups.

Blue has released a song just a month before, thus the fans were aware of his personal style. This was Aidynn’s first release apart from CHARM, and everyone was pleasantly surprised with his rapping style. While some were surprised these two decided to work together, others fans were on the contrary, for the males have mentioned that the two were raised in the same neighborhood; therefore, they are childhood friends. A handful found that endearing to know that their favorite rappers have been friends for years, close enough to release a song together.

Both the males have claims of writing the track, which made people look into the lyrics to investigate furthermore what they were trying to say. Already before did Blue release a song that spoke against the hate that idols often receive in the industry, so seeing and understanding the lyrics to Full House was, once again, no surprise. Talking about youth and living in the moment, people can only assume he talks about his former scandal. The song comments that they are only guys, and they should go out and have fun.

Despite the mixed feelings the fans share across social media, the song does well and holds a spot on the Gaon Digital Chart. Full House sat at #59 during the week of the its release.
