Stray Kids Member Scores His First Solo Smash With A Major Duet

Hyunjin is best known as one of the eight members of Stray Kids, with whom he has found incredible success around the world. He’s a celebrity in his home country of South Korea, and little by little, he’s making a name for himself as a solo musician in addition to his work with the K-pop group that first brought him to prominence.

Thanks to a recent collaboration with alternative rock and R&B performer D4vd, Hyunjin earns his first chart win on his own in the United Kingdom.

“Always Love” Debuts on Several U.K. Charts

The pair’s new single “Always Love” launches on several U.K. tallies at once. The tune opens at No. 58 on the Official Singles Downloads chart and at No. 64 on the all-encompassing list of the bestselling tracks in the nation. “Always Love” doesn’t manage to reach any lists focused on streaming activity or general consumption, as pure purchases fueled its debut.

Hyunjin’s Debut Solo Hit

This new tune marks Hyunjin’s first solo appearance on any U.K. ranking. D4vd has already landed a handful of hits on the main tally of the most consumed songs, as well as both the Official Streaming chart and the Official Physical Singles list. “Always Love” does manage to bring D4vd to the purchase-only rankings for the first time as well.

Stray Kids Have Already Charted More Than a Dozen Songs

As a member of Stray Kids, Hyunjin has already scored more than a dozen appearances on the same rankings he reaches now as a soloist. The K-pop band has collected 16 smashes on the Official Singles Sales chart and one more on the list of the most downloaded tracks in the U.K. The group added its latest top 40 hit, “Hollow,” less than a month ago, as that track launched inside the competitive region in late June before disappearing one week later.
