YesWeAre, the second sub-unit of the 24-member boy group Identity, topped the K-POP RADAR weekly fandom chart.

YesWeAre secured first place on the fandom chart for the second week of January (January 1–7, 2026) with its new album’s Title Track “Pretty Boy Swag.” The weekly fandom chart ranks artists based on the highest growth rate in fandom metrics over a one-week period, using data from major global platforms.

During this tracking period, the music video for “Pretty Boy Swag” accumulated 14.83 million views, demonstrating its strong popularity. The rapid increase in video views clearly shows the sub-unit’s impact upon entering the market.

Social media growth metrics further highlight the scale of fan expansion. During the same time frame, Identity gained 80,000 additional Instagram followers and 4,700 additional Twitter followers. These figures far exceed the average growth rates for K-pop artists during that period, which are 2,300 Instagram followers and 132 Twitter followers.

K-POP RADAR explained that YesWeAre reached first place on the weekly fandom chart due to high music video views combined with significant growth rates across all social media platforms.

Following YesWeAre in the top positions of the weekly fandom chart were CORTIS’s “FaSHioN” in second place and SEAMAI NAME’s “UFO” in third place. Additionally, Apink, H1-KEY, and MONSTA X’s Jooheon entered the top 10 for the first time during this period.
