Group AtHeart member Arin delivered sincere reactions and shone as a "new trainee 꼬물이".
Arin appeared as a "story friend" on the March 19 broadcast of SBS Tails of Tales (hereinafter Kkokkomu) in the episode about the faceless killer.
That day, Arin left an impression on viewers by becoming deeply immersed in the voice phishing crime stories narrated by storyteller Jang Seongkyu. In particular, as the truth of the crimes emerged, Arin showed righteous empathy by becoming increasingly angry and saddened, demonstrating the model of a "sympathetic listener." In addition, Arin displayed remarkable concentration by guiding the development of the story with questions that pinpointed the core of the case.
Finally, Arin warned, "I could be a victim of voice phishing right now, and my parents could be victims too, so I hope people study and learn more about voice phishing. Then the damage might be a little less."
Meanwhile, AtHeart, which Arin is part of, has captivated domestic and international music fans with an unusual comeback pattern of releasing back-to-back double singles, following "Shut Up" in February with "Butterfly Doors" in March. Critics say the group is imprinting its "HeartTeen" identity by showcasing AtHeart's frank and confident charm.
Fans' reactions have also been enthusiastic. "The music, performance and visuals are all perfect," "Each member's individuality is distinct, making them more appealing," "The dance break with its twist gives a fresh feeling," "AtHeart's unique dark, dreamy concept is unparalleled," and other favorable comments have followed.
The combined views of the two singles' music videos, completed through collaborations with global top creators, quickly surpassed 12 million views. In addition, "Shut Up" and "Butterfly Doors" each held the No. 1 spot on weekly and daily YouTube Shorts popular song charts respectively, firmly establishing their presence as the "5th-generation heart."
