Last update: 4 hours ago

K-pop: BTS’s “ARIRANG” has passed 5 billion Spotify streams, and the group’s South American tour will reach cinemas in live-viewing events in Argentina and Brazil. Rookie group KO1KEYZ also made a striking debut, topping Japan’s Hot 100 with its first single. Music Industry: South Korea approved a self-rating system that lets registered agencies and platforms assign age ratings to music videos and release them without waiting for government pre-screening. Arts & Festivals: Seoul’s autumn calendar includes a free music festival at Nodeul Island, a hands-on printing festival and a DMZ art show exploring the divided landscape. Film & TV: Director July Jung received a French cultural honor, while CJ ENM and MBC are expanding Korean-content distribution across the Middle East and North Africa. On the Scene: Actors Ha Jung-woo and Cha Jung-won announced plans to marry in December, and Red Velvet’s Wendy is set to return with a solo album next month.
