#1 TOP DEFINITION

μ—­μ£Όν–‰ β€” reverse run. When a song, album, or artist unexpectedly surges in popularity long after its original release β€” the opposite of the typical downward chart trajectory. A yeokjuhaeng can be triggered by a viral clip, a drama OST placement, or a challenge. It's one of the most celebrated phenomena in K-pop.

Example
β€œTWICE's 'Cheer Up' had a famous yeokjuhaeng β€” a TikTok dance trend 4 years after release pushed it back into the top 10.”
