SEOUL, August 2 (AJP) - "Golden," a track from Netflix’s K-pop Demon Hunters, has become the first K-pop song in over a decade to top the UK’s Official Singles Chart.
Released six weeks ago, the song "Golden" by the film’s fictional girl group HUNTR/X topped the UK’s Official Singles Chart. The chart's official website described the song as a "phenomenon," saying it "takes over this week’s Official Chart," as the song became the first K-pop No. 1 in 13 years since PSY’s Gangnam Style.
"For the many music fans who have been to their enormous concerts, bought their merch, and streamed their iconic songs, this will forever be the summer of Oasis," said the chart's Chief Executive Officer, Martin Talbot.
The song's chart-topping performance comes amid the rising popularity of the K-pop musical fantasy film, which revolves around a fictional girl group called HUNTR/X, who lead double lives as demon hunters to battle evil spirits disguised as a rival boy band.
Directed by Korean American Maggie Kang, who reportedly wanted to create a story rooted in her Korean background and heritage by blending traditional mythology with K-pop, the 100-minute film features several South Korean stars, including Ahn Hyo-seop, Kim Yun-jin, and Lee Byung-hun, who lent their voices.
