BESTie’s ‘Love Options’ Reunion Stage Surpasses 2 Million Views

BESTie’s long-awaited return to a music-show stage is finding an enthusiastic audience, with the group’s reunion performance of “Love Options” surpassing 2 million video views less than a day after its broadcast.

The four members — Hyeyeon, Uji, Dahye and Haeryung — reunited on the October 31 episode of MBC’s Show! Music Core, performing together on a music program for the first time in approximately 4,000 days.

According to a November 1 report by Newsis, the performance video exceeded 1.5 million views and approximately 6,000 comments within half a day of its release.

By 4 p.m. KST on November 1, the video had surpassed 2 million views, with its comment count approaching 7,000.

The strong response marks another development in the unexpected resurgence of “Love Options,” a song originally released in October 2013.

After gaining renewed attention through short-form videos, the track began climbing Korean and international music charts, introducing BESTie’s music to listeners more than a decade after its original release.

That momentum helped bring the members back together.

On October 17, BESTie confirmed its four-member reunion, subsequently releasing a new choreography practice video before returning to televised music performances.

Their Music Core appearance recreated the song’s recognizable high-heel choreography while allowing the members to showcase their live vocals and renewed chemistry as a group.

The response to the performance suggests that interest in BESTie’s return extends beyond the initial nostalgia surrounding the reunion announcement.

Rather than ending with the group’s decision to reunite, the renewed attention has now carried through to an actual broadcast performance, generating millions of views and thousands of audience comments.

The milestone also adds to a remarkable turnaround for a song that first arrived in an earlier generation of K-pop.

BESTie debuted in 2013 and went on to release songs including “Thank U Very Much,” “Hot Baby” and “Excuse Me.” The members eventually pursued separate careers before the recent revival of “Love Options” brought them together again.

While the reunion performance has attracted substantial attention, no new BESTie album, original single or additional concert schedule has been officially confirmed.

For now, the group’s return has produced something tangible: a strong audience response to four performers stepping back onto a music-show stage together after more than a decade.
