Starting off with some news on "Kpop Demon Hunters."

The original soundtrack "Golden" from the Netflix animation "KPop Demon Hunters" has soared to No. 1 on the UK's Official Singles Chart Top 100. According to the latest chart released on Friday, local time, "Golden" climbed three spots from the previous week to reach the top position in its sixth week on the chart.

A spokesperson for the charts said, "With Huntr/x's "Golden" becoming the first K-pop track to hit No. 1 in 13 years, Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters" has become a true phenomenon dominating this week's Official Chart." The last time a K-pop artist topped the UK chart was in 2012, when PSY made history with "Gangnam Style". Meanwhile, the "KPop Demon Hunters" original soundtrack has tied its highest placement yet on the U.S. Billboard 200, reaching No. 2.

Now let's move onto Jin from BTS!

BTS member Jin successfully completed his solo fan concert tour in the United States, which came to a close last Thursday.

The tour began on July 17 in Anaheim and saw him play eight shows in four cities to a total of around 90,000 fans.

At Anaheim's Honda Center, Jin attracted the largest audience ever for a Korean artist at the venue. The LA Times praised his performance, calling it "a masterclass in fan interaction."

Up next, Jin will kick off his European tour at London's O2 Arena on August 5 and 6. He will be the first Korean solo artist to headline at this iconic venue.

Good luck on his next run of concerts!

We started off today with an animation, let's end off with one.

The K-animation "The King of Kings", has officially surpassed 1 million admissions in Korean cinemas as of Sunday, its 19th day in movie theatres.

With this milestone, the film has overtaken "Attack on Titan : The Last Attack" to become the top-grossing animated film of 2025 so far. It also marks the first animated release of the year to cross the one-million-viewer threshold.

Furthermore, it now ranks domestically as the fourth highest-grossing Korean animated film in history, following "Leafie, A Hen into the Wild", "Heartsping: Teenieping of Love", and "Speckles: The Tarbosaurus 3D".
