K-Pop Demon Hunters To Enter Award Race With The Song Golden
Last Updated: Since its debut, Golden has broken several records, including peaking at No. 3 on the US Spotify chart. Netflix's new animated film KPop Demon Hunters, directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, has taken the world by storm. Debuting with 9.2 million views on the streaming platform in its first week, and then reaching 24.2 million views in its second week, the musical fantasy film was on Netflix's Top 10 chart in all 93 countries. It also topped the chart in 33 countries, including South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, France and the Philippines. Given its popularity among the masses, the streaming platform has decided to officially submit KPop Demon Hunters' song Golden for awards consideration, as reported by Variety. The film's hit track was also released as an official single by Republic Records on July 4. It has been released as a three-track bundle, which includes Golden, Golden – Instrumental, and Golden – A Cappella. Golden is performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI. It was written by EJAE and Mark Sonnenblick, and produced by well-known names like 24, Ido, Teddy Park and Ian Eisendrath. Since its debut, the song has broken several records. Golden peaked at No. 3 on the US Spotify chart, tying as the highest-charting song by a female K-pop group. It reached No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also witnessed a 2000 per cent increase in streams on Apple Music. Since the release of KPop Demon Hunters on June 20, its soundtrack has taken a prominent place on the music charts. It debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, becoming the highest soundtrack debut of 2025. Moreover, the fictional K-pop group Huntr/x has become the top female group on Spotify in terms of daily streams, and the album has also topped the most-streamed project on Spotify daily. Golden has continued with its winning streak, becoming the most-streamed hit from the soundtrack. Composer Ian Eisendrath told the above-mentioned outlet that Golden was the sixth song written for the film. The composer revealed that the team wanted each song to contribute to the film's story, rather than just serving as background music. Golden plays when Huntr/x tries to shut down the Golden Honmoon, a barrier between their world and that of the demons. It was then revealed that Rumi, a member of the girl group, was part demon, bearing marks on her arms all along. 'The bridge is totally a narrative character. It's the moment that the conflict, in many ways, enters the story. It just has so much joy and reach and yearning and longing," said Ian. KPop Demon Hunters follows the story of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, members of a K-pop girl group Huntr/x, who are secretly demon hunters. They face the Saja Boys, whose members are demons. The film features the voices of Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo Seop, May Hong, Ji Young Yoo and Lee Byung Hun, among others. First Published:

BTS Members Jet Off To The US After Announcing Album, World Tour
RM departed for Los Angeles on Sunday, with Suga, Jimin, and Jungkook following a day later. BTS has finally confirmed their comeback plans, and the excitement among their fans is at an all-time high. Just a few days back, all seven members, RM, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook, appeared together on a Weverse live for the first time since 2022. During the session, the K-pop supergroup revealed their plans for a new group album and their highly anticipated world tour. Both are scheduled for 2026. To embark on their album-making journey once again, BTS is reportedly heading to the US for a special songwriting camp. On Sunday, July 6, the group's leader, RM, aka Kim Namjoon, flew to Los Angeles to begin preparations. The next day, Suga, Jimin and Jungkook joined him. V, aka Kim Taehyung, is still in Paris, wrapping up his schedule for Celine at the Paris Fashion Week. He will directly join the team afterwards. Meanwhile, J-Hope and Jin will complete their remaining solo schedules before joining the rest of the team in the US. According to the Korean media outlet Dispatch, the seven members are unlikely to return to South Korea anytime soon. They plan to stay in the US for at least two months while working with international producers on their new music. BTS would be releasing a new full-length album, whose theme, music, and direction are all personally planned by the septet. It is scheduled for release in Spring 2026, between March and May. The creative process is reportedly set to begin in the US, and the group may move around to draw inspiration from artists worldwide. If all goes as planned, this would be their first full album in six years, since Map of the Soul: 7 in 2020, which was a follow-up to their 2019 extended play Map of the Soul: Persona. The latter became a turning point in BTS' career as its lead single, Boy with Luv, featuring American singer Halsey, hit No. 4 on Billboard Hot 100 upon its release. The 2019 song helped the K-pop group reach unprecedented heights. It became their fourth consecutive album to debut on the Billboard 200 chart at the number one position. As for now, J-Hope is set to headline Lollapalooza Berlin on July 13, while Jin is on his first-ever solo tour, RunSeokjin EP Tour. He is scheduled to perform in Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom before concluding his tour in the Netherlands with shows scheduled on August 9 and 10. After the completion of his tour, he will join the rest of the members in the US for BTS's new album. First Published:
