LNGSHOT have been selected as the latest artist for Spotify RADAR Korea, marking another milestone in the K-pop quartet's breakout year.
Announced on 12 November, the selection sees OHYUL, RYUL, WOOJIN, and LOUIS join Spotify's global RADAR programme, which supports emerging artists by helping them reach new audiences, build their careers, and connect with fans worldwide.
The recognition comes as LNGSHOT continue gaining international momentum, having surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify since their debut earlier this year.
As part of the initiative, the group have been featured on a digital billboard in New York's Times Square and selected as the cover artists for Spotify's RADAR Korea playlist. Their music will also be featured on RADAR Global, while Spotify Korea will roll out exclusive content showcasing the members' personalities and musical identities.
LNGSHOT join a growing roster of artists who have received support through RADAR, including fellow K-pop acts LE SSERAFIM and aespa, as well as international stars The Kid LAROI, Lauv, and Tyla.
The announcement follows the release of LNGSHOT's second EP, S.W.I.S.H., which arrived earlier this month. Blending R&B, hip-hop, and pop, the project builds on the group's signature sound while highlighting their growing confidence and creative involvement.
The quartet also recently celebrated their comeback at Spotify CLOSER in Seoul, where they connected with some of their most dedicated fans, known as SHOTTIES, through an intimate live performance.
Attendees were among the first to experience several tracks from S.W.I.S.H. live, alongside fan favourites from the group's growing discography.
"Celebrating our comeback with our fans at Spotify CLOSER and officially joining the RADAR program marks an incredible milestone for us," LNGSHOT shared in a statement.
"We have always believed in letting our music do the talking, and we are incredibly grateful to Spotify for supporting that vision on a global platform."
LNGSHOT made their official debut in January with their first EP, SHOT CALLERS, establishing themselves through a distinctive blend of melodic R&B and hip-hop. Taking their name from the phrase "long shot", the group have embraced an identity centred on defying expectations and pursuing their ambitions against the odds.
Their latest RADAR selection adds to a rapidly expanding list of achievements, providing another platform for the quartet to introduce their music to listeners beyond South Korea.
Fans can explore LNGSHOT's music through the RADAR Korea playlist and follow Spotify Korea on Instagram for more exclusive content featuring the group.
