YG Entertainment has shared its plans for the rest of the year! On August 18 at midnight KST, YG Entertainment released an announcement video in which founder Yang Hyun Suk revealed new information about TREASURE’s and BABYMONSTER’s upcoming comebacks, as well as the company’s plans for BLACKPINK’s new album.

Including “Golden,” “KPop Demon Hunters” once again charted three songs in the top 10 of the Official Singles Chart this week. Fictional boy band Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol” (both sung by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, U-KISS’s Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee) ranked No. 6 and No. 7 respectively on this week’s chart. TWICE’s Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung’s version of “Takedown” rose to a new peak of No. 35 in its third week on the chart, while TWICE’s 2024 hit “Strategy” (which is included on the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack) jumped to No. 45.
