UNIS First-Ever Music Show Win with “SWICY,” Delivers Tearful Thanks to Fans on 23rd
Rising K-pop girl group UNIS (Jin Hyeonju, Nana, Gehlee Dangca, Kotoko, Bang Yunha, Elisia, Oh Yoonah, Lim Seowon) achieved a major career milestone on April 23, taking home their first music show trophy on MBC M’s “Show! Champion” with their second mini album “SWICY” and its title track of the same name.
Fulfilling Their Dream with “SWICY”
UNIS had previously set a music show win as their top goal for this promotion cycle, expressing their hopes at the showcase for their second mini album just a week earlier. “Last year, we were grateful to receive rookie awards and many honors, but we hadn’t yet won on a music show. We really hope to take first place with ‘SWICY’ this time,” the group stated with determination.
Their wish came true as UNIS delivered a sweet and spicy performance on “Show! Champion,” ultimately being announced as the winner of the Champion Song. The moment was especially meaningful as it marked their first trophy just one year after debut[1][3][4].
Emotional Acceptance and Global Success
Fighting back tears, the members thanked their agency and staff, with a special shoutout to their fandom EverAfter. “We’re so happy to experience the joy of being No. 1. Thank you so much to EverAfter for giving us this award—we love you,” they said in their heartfelt acceptance speech. The encore stage turned into an emotional scene, with all eight members singing through tears and showcasing their rookie sincerity and excitement.
UNIS’s success doesn’t end there. “SWICY” has topped iTunes album charts in 14 countries and secured spots on major Korean music charts like Melon and Bugs. The “SWICY” music video has also surpassed 12 million views, reflecting the group’s explosive global popularity and the passionate support of international fans.
