In a winning feat, ATEEZ (에이티즈) have made their appearance on the Billboard 100 charts with their title track 'Lemon Drop' on 24th June 2025. Debuting at No.69 on the Hot 100, the win for ATEEZ marks them as the third K-pop boy group to appear on the charts, alongside BTS and Stray Kids.
Notably, 'Lemon Drop', the title track to their 12th mini album 'Golden Hour: Part 3', also appears on other Billboard tallies. They debuted at No.1 on Billboard's 'World Digital Song Sales' chart, while the album stole another No.1 spot on the 'Top Album Sales' chart and 'World Albums' chart. 'Lemon Drop' also made headlines with their feat at No. 9 on Billboard's 'Digital Song Sales' chart.
Netizens flood the comments with congratulations and love for the group. Twitter user @/WiseTroof commented, 'From the underground to the Hot 100, ATEEZ did not just join the list, they earned their place in gold. The climb is real, and so is the impact'. Despite their groundbreaking achievement, netizens have also come out to speculate the standings of the Billboard 100 with Twitter user @/DelindaMangwa commenting, 'No radio, no US chart entry, no Spotify entry. How did ATEEZ debut at 69? I'm really curious!'.
Despite speculations and controversies, we wish ATEEZ a big congratulations on being the 3rd K-pop boy group to appear on the charts!

Debate over K-pop security at airports: Necessary or excessive?
Bodyguards clad in black security vests are a familiar sight at airports in South Korea, often accompanying celebrities through large crowds of fans who sometimes get too close or behave in an unruly manner. But the actions of some security guards and managers have sparked debate over the use of excessive force. Last week, a video of K-pop boy group Zerobaseone's manager pushing fans at an airport and appearing to raise his fist circulated on social media platform X. In the video, the band's manager is heard shouting, 'move out of the way', which is then followed by a loud thud, suggesting that someone may have been pushed or the camera was struck. While some view the security measures for celebrities as excessive, airport security escorts for idols are necessary due to safety concerns, according to industry insiders. 'There is no strict rule requiring idols to have security at airports, but it is typically arranged for safety reasons. Also, in some countries, the crowd cannot be controlled, which makes bodyguards even more necessary,' an official at an entertainment company, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Korea Herald . 'While much of the footage shows the bodyguard's aggression, bodyguards typically try to handle the situation calmly and gently, but fans sometimes get pushed or fall in the process. "Although the bodyguards' actions in these moments cannot be fully excused, they respond this way because the situation is urgent and demands quick decisions to protect the idol, as well as maintain order,' added the official. Amid growing calls to address the chaos caused by celebrity arrivals and departures, an official at Incheon Airport described the authorities' difficulties. 'While restricting fans from crowding arrival and departure zones would be ideal, such measures are hard to implement effectively in real-world airport settings and require coordination with multiple departments within the airport,' the official told The Korea Herald . As excessive celebrity security continues to become a widespread issue, Dr Kim Tae-hwa, a professor at Yongin University's Department of Security Service, suggested implementing a 'safety management plan'. 'The safety plan would allow entertainment companies to submit detailed protocols outlining how security will be managed at the airport, including the specific routes the celebrities will take. This kind of structured planning could help prevent the poorly managed situations we are seeing today,' Dr Kim said in a phone interview. 'Having a formal safety plan would help inform the public, especially fans, about what is allowed and what is not. For example, it could include clear rules that ban fans from coming within 3m of the celebrity. "When these guidelines are in place, fans are more likely to follow the rules and less likely to get too close, reducing chaos.' – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
