STAYC STAYDOM era

Due to the presence of their debut song five months earlier, “ASAP” started off with higher chart rankings than their previous promotions. One month after release, its chart position rose gradually. Two months after release, “ASAP” entered the top 10 of the music charts.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, offline events disappeared and face-to-face interactions were restricted. STAYC’s opportunities to gain fans were limited, and on the rare occasions when events were held, they had to perform wearing masks and without an audience. Yet during this time, STAYC gradually drew momentum from the public, emerging as a global rising star.

The point choreography that went viral on social media was one of the factors behind the song’s popularity. This dance is called the “Biscuit Dance.”

“ASAP” was consecutively selected by Time magazine for both “The 10 Best K‑Pop Songs of the First Half of 2021” and “The 10 Best K‑Pop Songs of 2021.”

On July 10, 2025, “ASAP” surpassed 100 million streams on South Korea’s Circle Digital Chart and received a Platinum certification.

It was the seventh such record among girl groups of the fourth generation and beyond.

A year after the song’s release, as the pandemic passed its peak, audiences were allowed again.

In their second promotion, the rookie girl group had a more convincing stage set. As of five years after its release, “SO WHAT” has the highest proportion of female listeners and those in their twenties among all of STAYC’s songs.
