[K-Enter] BTS Jimin sets record for longest-charting K-pop solo artist on Billboard Hot 100

Now time for a daily dose of K-enter news with Walter Lee.

We start off with a hot new record set by a certain BTS member.

BTS's Jimin has set a new record as the longest-charting K-pop solo artist on the U.S. Billboard main song chart, the "Hot 100."

According to the latest chart released by U.S. music magazine Billboard, the track "Who" from Jimin's second solo album "MUSE" ranked 41st on the "Hot 100," marking its 32nd week on the chart.

This surpasses the previous longest-charting K-pop solo record of 31 weeks, set by Psy's "Gangnam Style" in 2012.

It also ties the record for the longest-charting K-pop song on the "Hot 100," held by his own group BTS's "Dynamite."

This means, Jimin has become the artist with the longest-charting records in both group and solo activities.

I'm sure his other group members are very proud of him.

Another member will be part of a new variety TV show that we'll be turning our attention to now.

Webtoon artist-turned-broadcaster Kian84's Netflix variety show "Kian's Bizarre B&B" will be released next month.

"Kian's Bizarre B&B" is a new type of guesthouse variety show set at Ulleungdo Kianjang , a sort of guesthouse according to Kian84's own ideas.

The show features Kian84, BTS member Jin, and actress Ji Ye-eun as they interact with guests.

BTS's Jin appears as an "all-round employee", actress Ji Ye-eun , who was a member of the variety show 'Running Man', joins as the youngest staff member.

"Kian's Bizarre B&B" will be released over three weeks starting April 8, with a total of nine episodes. The first week will premiere three episodes, followed by three more episodes each week.

I'll be looking forward to that. Lastly an important documentary about traditional Korean women's music is set to be released. Tell us more.

The press conference for the documentary film "Women's Gukgeuk : Enduring on the Edge of Time" was held on Tuesday at Megabox COEX in Seoul.

"Women's Gukgeuk " features Master Jo Young-sook , a first-generation actress at the gukgeuk all-female musical theatre and the current holder of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Baltal , "Baltal," meaning "Foot Mask Theatre".

Master Jo is known as the real-life inspiration for the popular 2024 drama Jeong-nyeoni or "A Star Is Born" in English.

The documentary captures the journey of Master Jo and her disciples as they strive to preserve the legacy of women's gukgeuk .

Master Jo remarked, "I have been performing women's gukgeuk since 1951. As the title suggests, women's gukgeuk has been on the edge of disappearance, but it has endured thanks to our relentless efforts to secure its rightful place."

She also stated, "Women's gukgeuk is a magnificent and extraordinary cultural heritage of our country."

"Women's Gukgeuk : Enduring on the Edge of Time" is set to premiere on March 19th.

It definitely is an important part of Korean history and a documentary not to be missed.

Thanks for today's K-enter news Walter and stick around. Now we move onto Ari with more culture news.
