[K-enter] Jennie enters Billboard's 'Hot 100' for the fourth time

Now it's time for our daily dose of K-enter news with Walter Lee.

Walter, today we are starting off with news on Blackpink's Jennie.

I told you we have nothing but 100% of the best entertainment news for you today and starting off with Queen J for Jennie and her recent release "ExtraL" . This marks the fourth time Jennie has had a solo track enter Billboard’s main singles chart, the ‘Hot 100.’

This comes as we count down to the release of "RUBY" which is Jennie’s first solo album since her debut as a Blackpink member. There are only two more days left until we get the full album as it will be released worldwide on March 7.

In this album, Jennie plans to showcase a diverse range of music that reflects her identity, collaborating with renowned musicians, and with her releases so far such as "Mantra" and "Love Hangover," we are definitely seeing that range.

But she is not the only one in the 'Hot 100' is she?

That's correct. According to Billboard, my boy Jimin and his title track "WHO" from his second solo album "MUSE" ranked No. 33 on the ‘Hot 100’ climbing 11 spots from last week’s No. 44.

"WHO" has now spent 31 weeks on the chart, tying the record set by PSY’s 2012 global hit "Gangnam Style."

The only K-pop song to chart longer than "WHO" and "Gangnam Style" on the ‘Hot 100’ is you've guessed it BTS’s "Dynamite" with 32 weeks.

Congratulations to both Jennie and Jimin and for keeping our theme of 100 alive for today.

Staying with K-pop and moving onto a boy group that is set to entertain stages in Japan and around the world.

That's right. Boy group ENHYPEN will hold four concerts for their "ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR 'WALK THE LINE' IN JAPAN -SUMMER EDITION"-at Tokyo’s Ajinomoto Stadium on July 5 and July 6 and Osaka’s Yanmar Stadium Nagai on August 2 and August 3.

From November 2024 to January 2025, ENHYPEN successfully completed a three-city dome tour in Japan, performing at Belluna Dome in Saitama, Fukuoka PayPay Dome, and Kyocera Dome Osaka.

In June, ENHYPEN will take the stage at Rajamangala National Stadium, Thailand’s largest concert venue.

In April, the group will perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the largest music festival in the U.S.

Sounds like a busy but exciting schedule for the group and good luck to them. Lastly, let's delve into Korean animation.

Korean animation "Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning" which was released on February 21, had surpassed 300,000 viewers as of the morning of Tuesday, March 4.

The animated prequel "Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning" explores the origins of its protagonists, taking a different path from the original storyline. It unveils how the disgraced ex-priest Father Park, vengeance-driven martial artist Hyeon-am , and gifted young shaman Joon-hoo unite to form an unlikely team.

It is based on the fantasy novel of the same name, which has sold over 10 million copies and amassed 230 million online views.
