A2O MAY, the global girl group produced by Lee Soo Man, is quickly rising as a major force in the international music scene.

Their second single Boss, released on April 25, is getting strong attention both in China and the U.S. The track hit No. 1 on China’s QQ Music New Song Chart and No. 8 on the Hot Song Chart, later climbing into the Top 10 of the platform’s main chart. The song continues to rank high, showing how popular A2O MAY is becoming in the Chinese market.

In the U.S., Boss entered the Mediabase Mainstream Radio Chart TOP 100, showing that the group’s appeal is crossing borders.

This is their second entry on the chart—after their debut single Under My Skin (A2O) landed at No. 39—making them the first Chinese artists to have two songs on the chart at the same time.

The music video for Boss is also a hit, racking up over 60 million views combined across Weibo and YouTube, further proving that A2O MAY’s unique sound—called Zalpha Pop—is grabbing attention worldwide.

Led by legendary producer Lee Soo Man, the group is introducing a new generation of music and culture. A2O MAY is not just about catchy songs—they're shaping a new wave of global pop with bold style and confident performances.

Their growing popularity will soon be tested on a big stage. On May 10 (U.S. time), the group is set to appear at the 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango festival in Huntington Beach, California.

Performing alongside stars like Doja Cat, Meghan Trainor, and David Guetta, A2O MAY will be the first Chinese artists officially invited to this major U.S. event—marking what many believe is the true start of their global journey.

With impressive chart success and a high-profile festival appearance, A2O MAY is quickly showing the world what Lee Soo Man’s newest girl group is made of.
