Time for K-enter with Walter Lee. Let's start off with BLACKPINK.

They made us wait for 2 years and 10 months but BLACKPINK are back with their new single "JUMP," and I can happily announce, the song has topped the iTunes "Top Songs" chart in 56 countries.

Released last Friday, the track quickly climbed to No. 1 across regions including South America, Europe and Asia. It also ranked No. 3 in the U.S., No. 4 in the UK, and claimed the No. 1 spot on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart. The music video became the most viewed video on YouTube within 24 hours of its release, surpassing 40 million views in less than two days. The girls are currently on their "DEADLINE" tour which spans 16 cities, with stops in Los Angeles, Toronto, New York, Paris, and more.

From one powerhouse girl group to another well kind of, let's talk about Huntr/x from the Netflix movie "KPop Demon Hunters."

The soundtrack for Netflix's animated film Kpop Demon Hunters is enjoying a lot of popularity.

On Sunday, Billboard announced that the "Kpop Demon Hunters" soundtrack climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the main U.S. album chart, marking its highest position yet, up one spot from the previous week.

After debuting at No. 8, the album surged to No. 3 in its second week and rose again to No. 2 in its third week.

In the 2020s, only four soundtracks have reached the Top 2 on the Billboard 200: "Wicked", "Barbie", "Encanto", and now "K-pop Demon Hunters".

Meanwhile, "Golden," performed by Huntr/x the girl group in the film, has taken the No. 1 spot on Melon's "Top 100," Korea's leading music chart.

Lastly, we move over to BTS fandom. What's the news?

The documentary "BTS ARMY: FOREVER WE ARE YOUNG", which highlights "ARMY", the global fandom of BTS, is set to be released worldwide on July 30.

The feature-length film explores the passion, creativity, and unity of BTS's official fanbase, ARMY, which now numbers over 9 million.

The film premiered at the "2025 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival", where it received overwhelming praise, earning a standing ovation.

The directors shared, "There is no ARMY without BTS, and no BTS without ARMY," expressing their hope that the film offers fans a heartfelt experience where they can laugh, cry, and celebrate the strength of their community.

Thank you for that Walter. Let's move onto more culture news with our AI anchor Ari. Ari!
