Tuide’s debut track “Sun Kiss” has drawn discussion online after reaching a peak of No. 108 on Melon’s daily chart.
A post compared the song’s performance with several previous HYBE girl group debut tracks. LE SSERAFIM’s “FEARLESS” previously peaked at No. 8 on the Melon daily chart, while NewJeans’ “Attention” and ILLIT’s “Magnetic” each reached No. 1.
“Sun Kiss,” meanwhile, recorded a peak of No. 108 on September 27, 2026, and was shown at No. 129 in the latest chart screenshot included in the post.
The comparison sparked discussion over Tuide’s early public reception, with some commenters praising the song itself while others pointed to the group’s performances, member presence and promotion as possible factors behind its chart performance.
Netizen Reactions
The sampled discussion was notably mixed: many commenters said they genuinely liked “Sun Kiss,” while criticism focused more heavily on Tuide’s performances, dancing, lack of a standout member and perceived lack of promotion rather than on the song itself.
1. The song is so good, so it’s a shame...
2. They’re really bad at dancing... Though I’ve heard dancing can improve pretty quickly.
3. The song is good, but in the end, I think you have to be good onstage to really catch people’s attention.
4. I like the song and listen to it a lot, but I also really agreed with IZM’s review saying there’s nothing particularly new about it.
5. It popped up on Shorts, and I liked the song so much that I looked up everything. When I heard GroovyRoom produced it, I was like, “Ah, that makes sense” ㅋㅋㅋ The choreography, music video and styling all have a really good aesthetic. I hope they do well.
6. The song is seriously good, but somehow... the stage performances just aren’t very compelling... The song itself is really, really good though...
7. Aside from the music, you need at least one member who really stands out or generates buzz, but they don’t seem to have that one person.......
8. The song is good, but it definitely feels like they aren’t really doing much viral promotion..? I basically only watch girl group content, so my Shorts feed is full of girl groups, but Tuide genuinely never shows up.
9. They’re all seriously so bad at dancing... The song is fine, but the dancing is honestly way too much.
10. The song is good... but the members don’t really feel visually cohesive, so I’m not sure what kind of image or direction the group is trying to go for. And the dancing too... ㅠ..
