EXID's most popular track "Up & Down" with catchy hooks and interesting choreography has hit 50 million view counts on YouTube at the weekend.
The five-member girl group, which debuted in 2012, had struggled to make an impressive performance for nearly two years, sparking fears that the girls may follow many other groups which disappeared due to low performances.
The group's popularity soared after a live-performance video of Up & Down, uploaded by a fan onto YouTube, went viral in 2014. Just two months after the track was released, it became one of South Korea's most favorite dance tracks.
Ever since, EXID members have become favoured guests at TV shows while Hani and Solji were preferred for their boyish personality and great talking skills. Hani, who is famous for her appetite, later became a TV food show MC.
Up & Down topped South Korean music charts in January 2015. However, EXID's new tracks "Hot Pink" and "L.I.E", released in December 2015 and June 2016 respectively, did not perform well.
