'Demon Hunters' soundtrack climbs back to No. 2 on Billboard albums chart; TXT lands at No. 3
The soundtrack for Netflix's global hit animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" has risen to No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, matching its previous peak position. According to Billboard's preview released Sunday (US time), the album climbed one spot to second place in its sixth week of release. Originally debuting at No. 8 in late June, the soundtrack steadily climbed the chart alongside the film's growing popularity -- rising to No. 3, then No. 2, before slipping to No. 5 and rebounding to No. 3 last week. Produced by US-based Sony Pictures Animation, the Netflix original follows Huntr/x, a fictional K-pop girl group battling evil spirits to protect the human world. The Billboard 200 ranks the most popular albums of the week in the United States, measured by equivalent album units, comprising physical sales, track-equivalent units and streaming-equivalent units. During the latest tracking week, the "KPop Demon Hunters" soundtrack earned 93,000 equivalent album units, up 4 percent from the previous week. "The Star Chapter: Together," the fourth full-length album from K-pop boy group Tomorrow X Together, debuted at No. 3 this week. It marks the group's seventh time it has cracked the top 10 of the chart. The eight-track album garnered 65,000 equivalent album units, including 62,000 from physical album sales. (Yonhap)

LA designates Aug. 1 'KCON Day'
World's largest K-pop festival recognized for cultural, social and economic contributions Los Angeles has officially designated Aug. 1 as 'KCON Day,' honoring the world's largest K-pop fan and artist festival for its impact on the city's culture and economy, the event host CJ ENM said Sunday. This marks the first time in KCON's 14-year history that it has received formal recognition from the city government. Four LA City Council members — John Lee, Katy Yaroslavsky, Curren Price and Heather Hutt — co-sponsored the resolution, citing the event's decadelong impact on LA's culture, landscape, tourism and economy. First launched in Irvine, California, in 2012, KCON has grown into the largest global gathering of K-pop fans and artists. With over 100,000 fans participating annually, it has played a pioneering role in promoting Korean culture globally. Lee praised the festival's influence, stating that KCON has "played a central role in promoting global pop culture" and "provides LA residents and visitors a special chance to experience Korean music, food, fashion and technology fully," according to CJ ENM. CJ ENM said the recognition highlights the growing influence of Korean culture, lifestyle and brand influence — driven especially by K-pop — in the world's largest music market. "The Korean American community and Korean culture are at the heart of what makes Los Angeles one of the most creative, influential and dynamic cities in the world," said Yaroslavsky, who represents western Koreatown. Last year's KCON LA, which was broadcast live on The CW Network, boasted 5.9 million fans between the festival and digital streaming. This year, the event was streamed live via the Amazon Music channel on Prime Video and Twitch.

‘KPop Demon Hunters' songwriter Vince to release new single with G-Dragon this month
Hit producer behind Netflix animated film's original sound track returns with 'Cha Cha Cha' Vince, a singer-songwriter and producer under The Black Label, is set to unveil a new single titled 'Cha Cha Cha' on Aug. 18, the label announced Saturday. The digital release marks his return as a singer, nearly one year and nine months since his debut EP 'The Drive' released in November 2023. Blending hip-hop and R&B with an upbeat Latin cha-cha rhythm, 'Cha Cha Cha' features a guest appearance by none other than iconic K-pop idol and member of Big Bang, G-Dragon. The track is expected to channel a breezy, summer-night vibe, showing a fresh side of Vince that contrasts from previous moody and bass-heavy works like 'UUU,' 'Emergency' and 'Everyday.' Before stepping into the spotlight as a singer, Vince — formerly known as Joe Rhee — was already a respected name behind the scenes in K-pop. His production and songwriting credits include K-pop hits such as G-Dragon's 'Superstar,' Sunmi's 'Gashina,' Taeyang's 'Wake Me Up,' iKON's 'Killing Me' and Winner's 'Ah Yeah.' In recent years, he has continued shaping K-pop's sonic landscape by producing for Jeon Somi, Meovv and the AllDay Project. His reach also recently extended to global audiences through Netflix animated film 'KPop Demon Hunters,' for which he co-wrote and composed 'Soda Pop' for fictional boy band Saja Boys — a breakout fan favorite — and composed the track 'Your Idol.' Meanwhile, Vince made his official debut as an artist under The Black Label in October 2019. jaaykim@
