[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] The group 82Major is riding a wave of popularity after being nominated for first place on “Music Bank.”

82Major appeared on KBS2’s “Music Bank,” which aired on the 11th, and performed “Like Fire,” the title track from their second single “HEAT.”
On that day, 82 Major took the stage in khaki-colored outfits, exuding a powerful presence. They added a rugged, masculine vibe by incorporating bandages as a stylistic accent.
Through their performance, 82MAJOR radiated the composure and unparalleled energy befitting “performance-oriented idols.” The members captivated the audience by flawlessly executing a striking signature dance move—lighting a match, blowing it out with their mouths, and then tossing it—alongside their dazzling choreography.
The title track, “Like Fire,” is a dance track that uses intense beats and synthesizer sounds to express the moment when one is deeply drawn to a partner and emotions spiral out of control. It is notable for continuing the narrative of their previously released song, “Sign.”
Recently, 82Major has been rewriting their story of gradual growth with their new song “Like Fire.” On the 9th, they celebrated winning their first music show No. 1 trophy—three years after their debut—on MBC M and MBC every1’s “Show Champion.”
In terms of album sales, they achieved a career high by surpassing 150,000 copies in first-week sales. The track also achieved significant success on major domestic and international charts, including entering the Melon Hot 100 chart and topping the Bugs Real-Time Chart.
Their global achievements are also noteworthy. “Like Fire” reached No. 3 on the iTunes Top Songs chart in Spain and went on to rank high on K-pop charts in Germany, the UK, Australia, and Canada. The group also proved its influence by appearing on various charts on China’s Wangyi Music.
82Major, which is setting new records with this comeback—its first in about four months—continues its active promotional activities through various music shows and online and offline content.
