Dynamicduo’s ‘AEAO’: K-hiphop Classic’s Global Chart Resurgence

Legendary K-hiphop duo Dynamicduo is experiencing an unprecedented global chart resurgence with their 2014 song “AEAO.” Released over a decade ago, the track is now climbing charts worldwide in late 2025, marking what many are calling the first “stair-step long-run resurgence” in K-hiphop history. This renewed popularity is largely driven by a viral social media trend, capturing the attention of a new generation of fans.

The “AEAO” TikTok Challenge Phenomenon

The primary catalyst for this remarkable comeback is a viral TikTok challenge that has swept across the platform. The “AEAO” challenge has seen participation from some of the biggest names in K-Pop, amplifying its reach exponentially. Fans have been delighted to see members from various top groups take on the trend, showcasing their own unique styles while paying homage to the classic track.

Notable participants include ENHYPEN members ENHYPEN Jay and ENHYPEN Jake, NCT’s NCT Johnny and NCT DoYoung, and members of the group ZEROBASEONE, including ZEROBASEONE Han YuJin and ZEROBASEONE Kim TaeRae. The trend also saw participation from BOYNEXTDOOR members BOYNEXTDOOR JaeHyun and BOYNEXTDOOR SungHo, as well as LE SSERAFIM’s LE SSERAFIM Huh YunJin and LE SSERAFIM Hong EunChae, further solidifying the song’s viral status.

A Historic K-hiphop Chart Resurgence

This viral moment has translated into tangible success on the global chart, a rare feat for a song released ten years prior. The chart resurgence of “AEAO” highlights a growing international appreciation for the K-hiphop genre. This wave of interest has also helped shine a light on other talented artists in the scene. The global success of “AEAO” proves the timeless appeal of well-crafted K-hiphop and its potential to connect with audiences across borders and generations.

The Legacy of “AEAO”

Originally released in 2014, “AEAO” was a collaboration between Dynamicduo (Dynamicduo GAEKO and Dynamicduo Choiza) and the legendary American producer DJ Premier. While respected at the time of its release, the song first gained international notice when it was included in the soundtrack for the video game “NBA” around 2015. However, its current success, driven by the TikTok challenge, has propelled it to new and unexpected heights, cementing its place in music history.
