Time for our K-enter news with Walter Lee, Walter what has been happening over the weekend?

"Golden" from Netflix's "Kpop Demon Hunters" has held the top spot on the UK Official Singles Chart "Top 100" for a second week in a row.

According to the latest chart published on last Friday, "Golden", sung by the movie's girl group Huntr/x, retained its No.1 position for the second straight week, marking its third week overall at the top.

Also, tracks by rival boy group, Saja Boys, also charted strongly in the UK. "Soda Pop" rose to No.3, while "Your Idol" came in at No.6.

and "Takedown" the contribution from TWICE members Jeongyeon , Jihyo , and Chaeyoung, entered the chart at No.31, so in total, four songs from the soundtrack are on the UK Singles Chart.

We must not forget it is not just about the music but also the amazing movie itself that is still attracting a lot of people, right?

So, one thing is a shame, that "KPop Demon Hunters", or let's call them "KDH" never really got shown on the big screens but that changed recently BECAUSE "KDH" soared to the top of the North American box office, this is according to Variety on Sunday local time.

The release was estimated to have earned between $18 million and $20 million across North American theatres during the August 23–24 weekend.

KDH became such a phenomenon that Netflix organised a two-day "sing-along" special screening event in North American theatres, almost like a real concert.

And I can't wait for that to happen in Korea, at the Busan International Film Festival next month.

What's next?

TXT lit up Seoul on Friday and Saturday with their "TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR ACT: TOMORROW", delivering an electrifying set of nearly 30 songs.

This tour is the group's fourth world tour, and Seoul drew an impressive 33,000 fans over two days.

Even deep into the concert, TXT never lost momentum, performing with unwavering precision and stamina.

As the show came to a close, TXT reassured fans of their commitment to continue growing and giving back for all the love they've received.

The members also underscored their unity, especially after all five recently renewed their contracts with BigHit Music.
