been watched," Billboard said. "The Girl's new activities this month

special stage at "KCON ROOKIES," which was showcased for the first
time at the KCON, adding that it has gained huge popularity from LA fans by
communicating with the audience in real time.

girl group by ranking fourth on the U.S. Billboard chart after the release of
its repackaged album "X X" (multiple multiple), ranking first in a
total of 26 countries, including the United States, Austria, Spain and France,
and second on the iTunes U.S. top album chart.
