[K-Enter] K-Pop Demon Hunters’ sweeps Netflix No.1 globally, Top 10 in 93 countries

So Walter, an interesting new K-pop animation has been taking the world by storm recently?

The animated film "K-Pop: Demon Hunters" has taken the top spot on Netflix's GLOBAL film category and a Top 10 spot on Netflix in 93 countries as of Tuesday. It currently sits at No. 2 in Korea.

The animation was produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," and co-directed by Korean-Canadian director Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, with several Korean creators also involved in the production. The story centres on K-pop superstars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who lead double lives, shining on stage while secretly battling dark forces to protect the world.

It combines elements of Korean culture, and though K-pop serves as a central theme, the storyline avoids clichés, which is seen as one of the key reasons behind the film's popularity.

From animated K-pop stars to real ones, let's talk about BLACKPINK!

BLACKPINK is set to premiere their new song during their upcoming world tour "DEADLINE," which kicks off only weeks from now on July 5 and 6 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium.

On Monday, YG Entertainment said, "We decided to unveil it first at the Goyang concert, during the DEADLINE tour, which marks a meaningful new beginning with our fans."

Aside from "THE GIRLS," the soundtrack for the mobile game "BLACKPINK THE GAME," this will be the group's first official release in approximately 2 years and 8 months, following their second studio album "BORN PINK" in 2022.

The members also recently filmed the music video for the new track in Korea.

After the Goyang concerts, BLACKPINK will embark on a global tour throughout July, performing 31 shows in 16 cities.

The countdown is on! Let's finish off with a boy band.

NCT DREAM is making a return next month with a brand-new full-length album and world tour.

SM Entertainment announced that the group will release its fifth studio album, "Go Back To The Future," on July 14.

The album follows the members on a journey through time past, present, and future as they search for their most radiant and true selves.

Before the album drops, NCT DREAM will launch their fourth tour, "THE DREAM SHOW 4: DREAM THE FUTURE," with a three-night run in Seoul from July 10 to 12.

The tour will then travel to seven cities, including Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta, and Singapore.
