🚀 HYBE’s J-Pop Powerhouse AOEN Debuts at No.1 on Oricon with ‘The Blue Sun’!
HYBE is rewriting the J-Pop playbook with their explosive new boy group AOEN. The 7-member team, who debuted on June 11, is already dominating the Japanese music scene.
On June 15, Japan’s Oricon chart revealed that AOEN’s debut single ‘The Blue Sun’ skyrocketed straight to No.1 on the Daily Singles Ranking, instantly solidifying their place as a rising force in J-Pop.
🔥 A Lightning-Fast Rise to Stardom
AOEN — consisting of Yuuju, Luka, Hikaru, Sota, Kyosuke, Gaku, and Leo — wasted no time after debut. They’re flooding TV appearances, music shows, and live events, with their own variety show ‘Today, AOEN Will Work Hard!’ set to premiere on Nihon TV on June 25.
🎶 ‘The Blue Sun’ – Bright, Energetic, and Addictive
The debut single features:
- Title track ‘The Blue Sun’ — a funky, high-energy dance anthem blending groovy basslines, punchy guitar riffs, and uplifting synths.
- ‘Blue Flame’, ‘Circle Ring’, and ‘FINISH LINE Last Race, New Start’ round out the EP, each carrying AOEN’s unique vibrance and determination.
Lyrically, the album reflects AOEN’s fearless spirit: breaking boundaries, chasing dreams, and lighting up the scene like a blue flame.
🌍 HYBE’s J-Pop Global Strategy In Full Swing
AOEN was formed through the Japanese audition program ‘応援-HIGH 夢のSTART LINE’ broadcast earlier this year, under HYBE’s YX Labels. Their name ‘AOEN’ symbolizes the hottest flame — blue — representing the team’s bright, passionate energy aimed at inspiring fans worldwide.
With Japan fully captivated, all eyes are now on how AOEN will continue expanding their influence in Asia and beyond.
