Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters strikes gold as its song Golden tops Billboard Hot 100
Netflix's animated hit KPop Demon Hunters has reached a massive milestone, with its breakout track Golden by fictional girl group Huntr/x hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Released on 20 June, the film has now become not only Netflix's most-watched animated title of the summer but also a global music sensation. Kpop Demon Hunter's soundtrack, especially the track Golden, has contributed significantly to its success. Golden has nearly 32 million official streams After weeks of anticipation, Golden, performed by virtual K-pop trio Huntr/x, voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI, soared to the top of the Billboard chart with nearly 32 million official streams in the first week of August, as confirmed by Billboard. The song's success was celebrated by Netflix on 12 August with the announcement across its social media. This achievement marks the ninth time a K-pop group has topped the Hot 100, but notably, it is the first by an all-female act—even if fictional. The moment mirrors a major plot point in the film, where Huntr/x's mission is to 'seal the Honmoon,' a mystical energy gate inspired by Korean folklore that protects the human world from demons. Their weapon? Music. In the KPop Demon Hunters universe, the Honmoon is described as a spiritual barrier, also called the 'soul door', which gains strength from the harmony of demon hunters' songs. The journey of Huntr/x/x culminates in transforming it into the powerful Golden Honmoon, symbolising the permanent defeat of demons. About KPop Demon Hunterz Directed by Maggie Kang, the animated feature boasts a stellar voice cast including Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, and Lee Byung-hun. While Golden is leading the charge, the film's other tracks like Your Idol by fellow fictional group Saja Boys, as well as Takedown, Soda Pop, Free, What It Sounds Like, and Strategy are also climbing global charts, reinforcing the movie's status as a full-fledged cultural phenomenon.

Uncover the Thrilling Premise of 'Confidence Queen': A Korean Drama About Clever Con Artists
K-Drama Confidence Man A Scam Story That'll Hook You from the First Scene Picture this: a gang of genius con artists who only prey on the worst of the worst-think corrupt bigwigs and shady power players. That's the thrilling premise of ' Confidence Queen ,' a Korean spin on a popular 2018 Japanese series. This drama isn't just about pulling off jaw-dropping heists; it's packed with sharp humor, unexpected twists, and that sweet rush of seeing justice served in the most creative ways. Park Min Young steps into the role of Yoon Yi Rang, a mastermind with a brain so sharp she could probably solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. She's quirky, cool as ice, and the ultimate boss of these elaborate schemes. It's like watching a chess game where every move is a checkmate against the bad guys. For anyone who's ever dreamed of outsmarting a villain-or just loves a good underdog story-this show is set to be your next obsession. Plus, in a world full of real-life scams, it might even sharpen your instincts to spot a trick or two! Star-Studded Squad: Chemistry That Lights Up the Room The first script reading for 'Confidence Queen' was nothing short of a blockbuster preview, with a cast that's pure dynamite. Park Min Young owned the spotlight as Yoon Yi Rang, bringing a lively, razor-sharp edge to her character with expressions so on-point, you'd think she was born for this role. Her energy was infectious, setting the tone for the entire session. Then there's Park Hee Soon as James, the smooth-talking anchor of the team, whose effortless charisma and subtle humor had everyone cracking up. He's the kind of leader you'd trust with your Wi-Fi password-until you realize he's probably hacked it already. Joo Jong Hyuk plays Myung Gu Ho, the innocent youngest member, delivering lines with such raw emotion that you can't help but root for him. And let's not forget Jung Woong In as the chilling villain Jeon Tae Soo, whose mere presence cranked up the tension to eleven. Together, their vibe was electric-like a group of friends plotting the ultimate prank, except their pranks take down empires. This crew is ready to steal the show, and honestly, your weekend plans too. Countdown to Premiere: Why You Can't Miss This Rollercoaster Grab your snacks and mark the date: 'Confidence Queen' premieres on September 6 at 9:10 p.m. KST. That's prime evening time to settle in for a mix of laughs and edge-of-your-seat drama. This isn't just another show to binge; it's a comedy-thriller that'll get you thinking about clever comebacks and the thrill of seeing the good guys-or, well, the not-so-bad guys-win. Taking the original Japanese story and infusing it with Korean flair, the drama adds layers of team spirit and cultural quirks that make the characters feel relatable, almost like a chaotic friend group you'd hang out with. It's the kind of story that could spark late-night chats about outsmarting life's villains, or at least give you some wild ideas for harmless mischief. While you wait for the premiere, why not check out some of Park Min Young's past romantic comedies or Joo Jong Hyuk's darker thrillers? Trust me, this drama is gearing up to be the perfect escape after a long day of studies or work, delivering humor, heart, and a whole lot of "oh, snap!" moments. Behind the Curtain: How This Cast Became Instant Favorites Let's pull back the curtain on that script reading-it wasn't just a rehearsal; it was a masterclass in teamwork. Park Hee Soon brought depth to James with a layered charm that only comes from years of honing his craft, making every line drip with personality. Joo Jong Hyuk, as the pure-hearted Myung Gu Ho, balanced the team's sly edge with a warmth that hits you right in the feels-think of him as the friend who's always got your back, even if he's clueless about the plan. Jung Woong In's take on the villain Jeon Tae Soo was downright menacing, promising some serious nail-biting moments from episode one. What really stood out was how these actors bounced off each other, turning a simple read-through into a teaser of the drama's magic. They didn't just read lines; they lived them, hinting at a story that's equal parts witty and wild. Add to that Park Min Young's knack for making Yoon Yi Rang both hilarious and intimidating, and you've got a recipe for a hit. "Confidence Queen" is shaping up to be more than a drama-it's a vibe, a mood, and a reminder that sometimes, the best way to fight evil is with a clever grin and a flawless plan.
