The hottest sound of the summer? K-pop.
K-pop is having a golden moment.
The signs have been there since the start of the summer, with groups such as Stray Kids, Itzy, Enhypen and Ateez driving sweaty swarms of American K-pop fans to stadiums from Los Angeles to D.C.
Then two of the genre's international trailblazers reunited. The girl group BlackPink, whose four members dispersed to pursue high-profile solo projects over the past couple years, are back on tour together and promoting new music. The boy-band septet BTS wasted no time reconvening after the last of its members completed their mandatory military service in June, and have told fans that they are already at work on new music.
