Renowned South Korean vocalists Gummy and K.Will are set to grace the stage at the upcoming Korea Season event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This cultural celebration, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, is part of the broader Korea360 initiative organized by South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The Korea Season event will feature a variety of performances, including renditions of popular Korean drama soundtracks by Gummy and K.Will. Additionally, the fusion gugak group Queen will perform on both days, and will offer a modern twist on traditional Korean music.

Attendees can also immerse themselves in cultural experiences such as trying on hanbok (traditional Korean attire) and participating in Korean calligraphy sessions. The event will also reflect zones dedicated to K-pop exhibitions and promotional videos, providing a comprehensive glimpse into contemporary Korean entertainment.

Kim Hyun-jun, the ministry’s director general of international cultural affairs, expressed optimism about the initiative, stating that the event is expected to raise local interest in Korea360 and create opportunities to connect the popular culture of ‘hallyu’ (Korean wave) with those interested in Korean arts and culture.

He further emphasized that UAE Korea360, along with its counterpart in Indonesia, will serve as pivotal bases supporting Korean wave-related companies’ expansion into Middle Eastern and Asian markets.

Netflix’s latest animated movie KPOP Demon Hunters has taken over both the charts and the internet just weeks after its release on June 20. The movie has quickly become a fan-favorite for K‑Pop lovers and animation fans, combining catchy music with an action-packed storyline.

The fictional soundtrack from the film, featuring songs by characters Rumi, Mira, Zoey, and the popular in-movie groups HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys, has made history on the charts. It debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 and quickly shot to number 3 the following week. This makes it the highest-ranking animated soundtrack since Barbie, with millions of streams pouring in across platforms.

On top of that, the album climbed to number 1 on the Billboard Soundtrack chart, while also dominating Apple Music and iTunes charts worldwide. Fans across Europe, Asia, and the Americas have been streaming the songs non-stop.

Your Idol, performed by the fictional Saja Boys, has become the highest-charting song by a male K‑Pop act on Spotify’s U.S. chart, even outperforming groups like BTS. Golden, a track by HUNTR/X, landed at number 3 on the same chart, tying the record for the best position by a female K‑Pop group, alongside Blackpink.

Other songs like How It’s Done, Takedown, Free, and Soda Pop also made their way into Spotify’s U.S. Top 100. The track Golden alone has gathered over 7 million streams and secured spots on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Global 200.
