[K-enter] “Golden” Tops Apple Music U.S. Daily Top 100

‘케데헌’, K팝 신기록 달성 ‘애플뮤직 美 톱100’, 1위

And, today’s first K-enter story is in fact on a new record, related to the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack?

“Golden” claimed the No.1 spot on Apple Music’s U.S. Daily Top 100 chart, the highest ranking ever for a K-pop song on this chart. Unlike Billboard, which accounts for radio, physical sales, and digital downloads, this chart is purely based on streaming data from the U.S. listeners, making it a tough milestone for K-pop artists.
Along with “Golden,” two other songs from “KPop Demon Hunters” made it into the top 10 -“Your Idol” at No.8 and “Soda Pop” at No.9.
Beyond the U.S., “Golden” also topped Apple Music charts in many countries, including Korea, Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, and the Netherlands.

“Golden” is still my go-to song. Let’s continue with K-pop and records. Which artist are we talking about next?

BTS Jimin has set a major record on the U.S. Spotify chart. According to the latest update from Spotify, Jimin’s second album “MUSE” has surpassed 400 million streams on the U.S. Spotify chart.
“Who,” a single released back in July 2024, has also spent 33 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jimin was discharged from his military service in June and is set to make a full BTS comeback next spring.

Can’t wait for that! And we will now move onto a Netflix series that Bella you recently enjoyed.
I’m actually in the middle of it. So, no spoilers!

Korean Netflix series “Trigger: Limited Series” is gaining immense popularity in its second week of release. According to Netflix, the series recorded 5 million views last week, ranking 2nd in the Global Top 10 Non-English Shows. It also proved its popularity by securing a spot on the Top 10 lists in 45 countries worldwide, including France, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore.
“Trigger: Limited Series” is an action thriller set around the appearance of illegal firearms of unknown origin and constant gun incidents in Korea. The series stars Kim Nam-gil and Kim Young-kwang.

And we will end today’s K-enter with an unfortunate loss of a Korean artist.

Lee Min, a member of the female R&B duo, As One, has died unexpectedly at the age of 46. According to a representative from her agency, Brand New Music, on Wednesday, Lee was found dead at her home on Tuesday afternoon. The agency added that the police are currently investigating on the exact circumstances.
Lee Min was a Korean-American who debuted in 1999 with As One’s first album “Day By Day.” The duo gained popularity with their hit songs such as “Desire and Hope,” “I’m Fine” and “Wish You Wouldn’t Know.”

Our hearts are with her family and friends. Thank you Bella for today’s stories.
