One track that won hearts is Your Idol, performed by the fictional devil band, the Saja Boys, in the film. According to the media reports, the song was created by keeping two K-Pop groups in mind. The songwriter, EJAE, sat down for an interview with Forbes, where she revealed that Your Idol was inspired by Exo and THEBLACKLABEL. EJAE reflects on the inspiration behind Your Idol While in conversation with the media portal, the songwriter revealed, 'The Saja Boys, in their demon form, are intentionally feeding the fans' obsession because that gives them control.' She added, "That's what being an idol can feel like—the need to be adored and worshipped. I grew up Christian, so I immediately thought about how 'idolizing' something is considered a sin. That tension inspired the creepy twist behind the lyrics: 'I'll be your Idol.'' Meanwhile, despite the fictional nature of the bands HUNTR/X and Saja Boys, they have managed to gain popularity amongst the young listeners and the fans of Korean music. Previously, the hit song by the boy band was featured in the top position on Spotify, leaving behind the globally recognized band BTS. What is KPop Demon Hunters about?

Is Metro...In Dino's Budget Rs 85 Crore? Find Out The Truth
Last Updated: Anurag Basu's eagerly awaited anthology drama Metro… In Dino is generating a lot of buzz for its reported budget. Anurag Basu's eagerly awaited anthology drama Metro… In Dino has generated a lot of hype not just for its ensemble cast but also for its reported budget. The star-studded movie was reportedly made on a huge Rs 85 crore budget, which is a significant sum for any Bollywood romantic film. There are now questions over whether it was a hit or a bust because the movie made Rs 30 crore in eight days. Sources have recently revealed the real cost of production. ' Metro…In Dino was made on a fairly small scale with Rs 40 crore for production and Rs 7 crore for print and promotion, contrary to what many might assume," a source familiar with the project said. The source further added that the film relied on substance and sincerity rather than size. The film, which is a spiritual follow-up to Basu's critically acclaimed Life… In A Metro (2007), stars Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Pankaj Tripathi. Metro…In Dino, aimed at urban centres, has failed to maintain its momentum following its first weekend. The diminishing figures indicate that the producers will have a hard time recouping their investment. According to the box office tracking site Sacnilk, the Bollywood film has made Rs 26.85 crore in India in just one week. Although the second weekend's business must improve, it is improbable that India's total revenue will surpass Rs 50 crore. Netflix has acquired the OTT rights of the multi-starrer film, the Republic World reported. Given how slowly it is doing at the box office, recovering the budget will be an enormous undertaking. Metro…In Dino had only recouped about 35% of its expected production costs in just 7 days. The music, a joint effort by Basu and Pritam, who reunited following their successful collaborations on films like Barfi! and Life… In A Metro is what further fuels the high-budget rumours. The film is most likely to end its run at the box office below Rs 50 crore and become a box office failure. It is concerning for Sara and Aditya, who have been hoping that Metro…In Dino will succeed after a run of box office setbacks.

Former NCT member Taeil to be sentenced for sexual assault of a tourist; the court orders three and a half years of imprisonment
Reportedly, K-pop singer Taeil (aka Moon Tae-il), who was in the band NCT, has been sentenced to three years and six months in prison for sexually assaulting an intoxicated Chinese tourist. The 31-year-old was taken into custody along with his two accomplices, Lee and Hong, who have also been similarly sentenced. Taeil and his two accomplices have been found guilty... According to the BBC, the three were found guilty of the charges when they confessed to taking turns assaulting the victim in Seoul. The district judge described the crime as 'extremely grave,' but gave them just half the time of the seven–year sentence asked by the prosecutors, citing that the three convicts were first-time offenders. Additionally, the court has asked Taeil and his two accomplices to take the 40 hours of sexual violence treatment programming, noting that the nature of the crime was severe, as the victim was unconscious and unable to resist at the time, as per The Korea Times. As the South Korean law states, the offence is classified as both 'aggravated' assault, as there are multiple perpetrators, and 'quasi rape' because the victim was intoxicated during the time. What, when and how? Taeil and his two accomplices assaulted the victim in June 2024, when they met her in the bar in Seoul's Itaewon district. She became inebriated after indulging in the liquor with them. They brought her to Lee's house by taxi and proceeded to assault her when she was unconscious, according to Variety. About Taeil Taeil started his career in 2016 with NCT, where they caught the eyes of the audience or experimental music across multiple genres and the music that topped the charts after the release. However, soon after, the allegations started to surface about the disgraceful incident, Taeil abruptly left the band in August, despite the details of the crime not being publicly disclosed.
