Usually, every movement in a K-Pop group is controlled by their company and management team; however, tripleS are shaking things up by taking their fans' opinions into account. Through a series of voting stages, fans can pick title tracks and who they want to see perform these songs. Each voting stage will show what direction supporters are leaning toward for tripleS, and as they approach the final countdown, fans can steer the outcome.

Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo have broken numerous records since their debut in 2016: the first to sell one million, then two million, album copies in South Korea; the first Korean group to top the Billboard 200 album chart; the highest-grossing concert tour by a female artist. Blackpink, and K-pop and K-culture more broadly, are now a source of South Korean "soft power," expanding the country's cultural influence across Asia and beyond.

I feel like a lot of people like to copy whatever works and stay away from whatever doesn't, so I feel like there's not a lot of groups that are willing to take risks, and I don't even think it's the group's fault.

K-pop's biggest names are strutting their stuff at Milan Fashion Week and turning up in ultra-cool fits. Seventeen's Joshua Hong, BTS's Jin, and Stray Kids' Bang Chan were some of the K-pop idols who rolled up to the fashion week in the city. They were dressed by some of the biggest fashion houses, including Gucci and Fendi. While Hong went with a chic, neutral look, Bang opted for a bold, sheer outfit.

"I'm crossing oceans to see Joshua Hong, and this is going to change my life," I said in my friend group chat, drunk with victory, with my prize from the Seventeen concert ticketing war in hand. To be clear, I didn't meet the US-born member of the boy band Seventeen, but I did hop on an international flight to see him and the group perform.

You're hearing an R&B intro sung a cappella by Rumi, the main character. It almost has a Mary J. Blige tragic heaviness to it. And then as the other singers come in, Zoey and Mira, what you end up with is something like an up-tempo club number. It doesn't quite go full EDM, but it does feel like it's designed for a Hamilton- esque chant along. What started as a tender, warm, introspective ballad ends up as a powerful fight song.

Normally, that wouldn't be news we would cover here at , but KPop Demon Hunters , Netflix's animated musical phenomenon, was apparently brought up during the generative AI organization's launch event for its new Korean subsidiary on Monday, September 15. Vince, a prolific K-pop producer who wrote songs performed by the film's demonic boy band group called the Saja Boys, made an appearance at the Seoul event.

KPop Demon Hunters has been the talk of the town since debuting on Netflix in June. Now, the Huntr/X singers might be taking over a new area: gaming. Kpop Demon Hunters is reportedly coming to Fortnite. Two Fortnite leakers, SpushFNBR and Loolo, posted the news on X (formerly Twitter), citing a "reliable source." Little to nothing is known about what a crossover would entail but the duo said they would be posting more details in the coming weeks.

In the final moments of Netflix's wildly popular KPop Demon Hunters, a K-pop group called the Saja Boys-whose members are secretly demons-celebrate an award-show victory by performing a new song called "Your Idol" for thousands of adulating fans. "Your obsession feeds our connection / So right now give me all your attention," they sing. By absorbing the frenzied reverence, the Saja Boys can break through the Honmoon, a fictional barrier that protects humans from the demon world, which would unleash chaos.

Your favorite K-pop girl group HUNTR/X is coming back for more. With the groundbreaking success of K-pop Demon Hunters on Netflix, the Billboard charts, and at the box office, there's been some chatter about getting a sequel off the ground. We need more bangers! So, here's everything we know about a Demon Hunters sequel, like what stage it's at and what it would be about.

The summer soundtrack of our family has been lifted straight out of K-Pop Demon Hunters. On long summer car rides, Sara's daughter listens with headphones, fearlessly belting along with her husband as they exchange quiet smiles in the front seat. There is a moment she always waits for - when Gen-u thanks Rumi for helping him feel again, offering her his soul. Each time, tears fill her eyes, and she reaches for her mother's hand.

G-Dragon, the King of K-Pop.Photo: GALAXY CORPORATION G-Dragon brought the drama, standing amongst a crowd of about 16,000 people on a pedestal wearing a golden gown and wrapped in a rose-covered jacket, with pyrotechnics shooting through the air and his talented dance team. The entire arc of his performance, featuring 20 songs, many of which were from his new album Ubermensch, along with several classic hits, was told in a dramatic sequence of colors.

When you watch KPop Demon Hunters, it is easy to see why it has become the most popular movie that Netflix has ever released. The animated musical's story about a trio of pop stars tasked with protecting humanity from monsters is familiar, but refreshingly different and infinitely more stylish than other narratives like it. The soundtrack is full of undeniable bangers that amplify the movie's gorgeous action and never let you forget that it's a celebration of Korean culture.

Megan Thee Stallion. Patti LaBelle. Kylie Minogue. Two-fifths of the Spice Girls. These are just a smattering of the multiplatinum sellers in the all-singing, all-dancing trailer for KPOPPED, which, honestly, looked epic. If I had been reviewing this new Lionel Richie-produced singing contest based on those 109 seconds alone complete with roaring stage pyrotechnics and Megan performing a K-pop version of her smash hit Savage it would have been an easy five stars. Sadly, the series that follows isn't quite as irresistible.

The format reminds me of PE lessons. You know how gym teachers split groups of friends up, so they concentrate? Here, Korean boy and girl groups such as JO1 and Blackswan are split in half. Each half works with a famous western pop artist, re-tooling their best-known song in K-pop mode. The resulting performances are voted for by the studio audience, and the winner gets well, nothing.

Over the past few years, crossing the Hudson River to the Prudential Center has been a rite of passage for many K-Pop fans, eager to see artists like IU for her first stateside tour, or NCT 127 as they celebrate their 100th concert performance.
