The UK is officially vibing to K-pop; songs from KPop Demon Hunters, BLACKPINK, and TWICE prove it! For the week of August 28, 2025, to September 3, a record-breaking seven K-pop tracks landed in the top 40 of the Official Singles Chart. That’s no small achievement, considering the list is often dominated by Western acts.
