The latest news coming out of Netflix HQ reveals a clear trend regarding the streamer’s recent output: South Korea is so hot right now.
In one sense, that assertion is nothing new. Korean TV, films, and pop music have influenced global culture since the days of Oldboy and Girls’ Generation, and international distribution of Korean properties ramped up during the Covid-19 pandemic, when shows like Squid Game filled a void created by delayed production schedules.
Speaking of Squid Game, the dystopian thriller’s ongoing success is the main piece of evidence supporting the theory that Korean originals represent Netflix’s past, present, and future. According to data shared by Nielsen, Squid Game was the most-watched streaming original during the first half of 2025 and the ninth-most watched program of any type on streaming. Hwang Dong-hyuk’s magnum opus achieved those blockbuster numbers even though its hotly anticipated second season premiered...

As of June 2025, the No. 1 song in both the U.S. and the U.K. is “Ordinary”, a hit penned by Alex Warren, an artist likely unknown to millennial and older audiences.
Meanwhile, the top debut on the Billboard 200 for the week of June 16 was Addison, by a buzzing singer you might’ve heard of, Addison Rae. If you are younger, you likely know both Warren and Rae very well, as they are some of the biggest influencers of the pre-covid-era TikTok, who are now experiencing parallel rises to music fame, both plausible contenders to win the Grammy for Best New Artist. But their rise to music stardom, while unique in its way, also responds to a bigger trend throughout this century: the primacy of social media.

“I hope for them to be not number one but the only ones,” K-pop legend Psy tells The Hollywood Reporter of his label’s new group Baby Dont Cry.
The four-member girl group — comprised of members Yihyun, Mia, Kumi and Beni — officially debuted Monday with their lead single “F Girl,” which followed their pre-release track “Bet You’ll Regret It.”
“I feel like the song (‘F Girl’) really represents us well,” Yihyun, the eldest at just 19 years old, tells THR over a Zoom call from their label P Nation’s Gangnam headquarters. “I feel that the song itself is a very honest and very confident song, and I believe that all of the members are also very confident in who they are.”
Mia adds, “Speaking with all of the staff around, we were really able to discuss what type of concept would best fit our group and we ended up coming up with ‘F Girl.

Can anything truly worthwhile be achieved without at least a little bit of pain?
That's the question at the heart of a terrific new documentary called "Wick is Pain," which chronicles the unlikely journey of "John Wick" from a spec script called "Scorn" into an indie movie that nearly didn't get made, then into a film that almost went direct-to-video, and finally into a game-changing action franchise that has multiple spin-offs on the way and a fifth entry in the works.
It's a compelling, complicated question, one that's been explored on screen many times and to exceptionally wonderful effect in 2014's "Whiplash," which came out the first year as the original "Wick" film (and specifically in an ending that made our list of favorite movie moments of the 2010s).

BTS’ Suga, a beloved figure in the K-pop industry, has recently faced challenges due to a DUI incident that occurred on August 6. Despite the controversy, Suga has received overwhelming support from both fans and fellow celebrities, who have publicly expressed their solidarity during this difficult time.
One of the most notable expressions of support came from Psy, the legendary South Korean singer-songwriter. Psy, who collaborated with Suga on the hit track “That That,” took a moment during his “Summer Swag” concert on August 25 to acknowledge Suga’s contribution to the song. Before performing the track at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, Psy addressed the crowd, expressing his gratitude to Suga for creating and singing the song with him.

Scooter Braun has announced his retirement from artist management, closing the book one of the most successful runs of artist representation in recent music history.
Over his 23-year career in artist management, Braun represented acts including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, J Balvin, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lil Dicky, Tori Kelly, Kanye West, and others.
However, Braun’s reputation took a major hit when his holding company purchased the master recordings to Taylor Swift’s first six albums as part of a larger acquisition of Big Machine Label Group (apparently without Swift’s knowledge). The following year, Braun sold her discography to an investment fund for around $300 million. The deal, which Swift described as her “worst case scenario,” inspired her to commit to one of the most groundbreaking acts in recent music industry history: re-record her first six albums in order to own her music herself, thereby standing in complete...

After more than two decades managing stars like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, Scooter Braun is giving up the management business.
Braun wrote that he will instead focus on his role as a board member and CEO of the U.S. division Hybe, the South Korean entertainment giant.
“23 years. 23 years. That’s how long I have been a music manager. 23 years ago a 19 year old kid started managing an artist named Cato in Atlanta, Ga and my journey began,” Braun wrote on his social channels. “Along the way I have had so many experiences I could never have dreamt of. I have been blessed to have had a ‘Forrest Gump’-like life while witnessing and taking part in the journeys of some of the most extraordinarily talented people the world has ever seen.

As the Korean Wave continues to wash over America and the rest of the world, its undeniable influence is flooding into other Asian cinemas. Pop culture has become South Korea’s biggest export, with K-Pop, K-Dramas, and Korean Cinema taking over airwaves, streaming services, and Western entertainment award shows. Other Asian countries have followed suit, either modeling their film industry after the South Koreans or falling into it altogether.
Like other past cultural movements, Korean Cinema’s industrial complex is paired with a distinct visual style. Derived from filmmakers like Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho, current popular K-Dramas generally align with similar aesthetic design choices and thematic story arcs. They’re normally well-composed but over-the-top in everything from campy comedic acting, saturated color schemes, precise cinematography, and unpredictable plot twists. These stories usually involve romantic or familial relationships within a genre of revenge, thriller, or mystery.

For its 21st edition, the Unforgettable Gala, which annually fetes Asian Americans in entertainment, arts and culture, will officially be opening its awards categories to talent from Asia and the Pacific Islands. Although the event has in the past honored Asian stars with crossover impact such as Minha Kim (Pachinko), Shohei Ohtani and Psy, the announcement indicates that Unforgettable will take on a more global focus, as it partners with AsiaLab, a Seoul-based entertainment and content platform that seeks to facilitate “One Asia” through collaborations with Api stars and influencers.
For now, Character Media, the publishing company that founded and produces Unforgettable each year, is planning to hold the gala at its usual Beverly Hilton location on Dec. 16 but notes that the date could be pushed to the first quarter of 2024, depending on the status of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

The best zombie stories center relatable every-people to root for in the ongoing apocalypse. Zombieverse, a new Korean unscripted TV series featuring people trying to survive a fictional zombie outbreak in Seoul, has an eclectic, mostly relatable cast of characters going for it (in addition to the truly remarkable stunt team).
Heading into this show, a Korean audience would be familiar with most if not all of these celebrity cast members, tipping the average viewer off to the fact that this is a reality show almost immediately. However, if you’re not part of the Korean audience—and you don’t regularly watch Korean variety shows—then you are probably, at least initially, at a loss.
The series begins with five celebrity hosts sitting on a couch, commenting on a fictional dating reality show mere feet away. Without warning, one of the dating show contestants starts mauling the neck of their potential love interest,...

Well, almost all of them. “I want to try getting my nipples pierced,” he tells Rolling Stone over a video call, his smile embellished with a diamond-studded lip ring, “but I’m scared because I recently got a tattoo near my nipple and I went through hell.” Tattoos and piercings are the least of the rapper’s transgressions. For the past five years, in an industry where dating is often contractually forbidden, Dawn has been known as one half of South Korean entertainment...

Blackpink has topped the albums section of Britain’s Official Chart with its latest work, ‘Born Pink’. It has thus become the first K-pop girl group to claim the belt on the most celebrated music chart in Britain, its agency said, reports Yonhap.

It's time to pantomime a ride on a galloping horse, because 'Gangnam Style' just turned ten.
Psy's groundbreaking music video, which played a significant role in the global expansion of K-pop, arrived on YouTube on July 15, 2012. In November of that year, 'Gangnam Style' became the all-time most-watched video on YouTube. A few weeks after that, it became the first video to crack the billion-view threshold.
Ten years later, 'Gangnam Style' is no longer the most-viewed music video on YouTube. That crown was passed to Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee in 2017. Many artists other than Psy have now seen their music videos surpass ten-digit viewership, and to celebrate the tenth birthday of 'Gangnam Style,' YouTube shared some data about what it called the "Billion Views Club."

Psy's star-studded ninth album boasts exciting collabs with Heize, Mamamoo's Hwa-Sa, and Jessi, among others. Bae Suzy even made an appearance in his "Celeb" music video. Now, the title track, "That That," has arrived, accompanied by a music video filled with the spellbinding and quirky group choreography and humorous shenanigans the "Gangnam Style" singer is known for - only this time, Suga is along for the ride.
In a promo clip about "That That," Suga and Psy reflected on their journey developing the song. "To be honest, I haven't gotten that close with anyone I collab with," Suga said. "It's because I'm usually not the type to meet up with collaborators in person. But he wanted to see me in person.

On Friday, Psy released his single “That That” from his aptly named new album, Psy 9th. The record, which was also released Friday, is Psy’s first full-length since 2017’s Psy 8th 4X2=8.
The “That That” video features Suga, who also produced the K-pop hitmaker’s record. Rocking cowboy outfits, the two are seen dancing in a saloon and in a car to the catchy tune.

Those who lived through the not-so-distant events of 2012 probably never expected to hear “Gangnam Style,” the novelty hit by the K-pop superstar Psy, ever again. Yet “Gangnam Style” has made a comeback in an unlikely venue: TikTok, where zoomers are recounting their trauma in excruciating detail in a new, darkly funny trend.

Arguably one of the most popular groups in the world right now, BTS made their debut as a group in 2010 before releasing their first album in 2013. Since then they've become ambassadors for Louis Vuitton, sold out arena tours in minutes, and had multiple platinum albums, and more recently, they made history as the first K-pop group to be nominated for a Grammy for best duo/group performance for "Dynamite." That being said, they weren't nominated in any major categories, despite dominating the charts, and their nomination was for their first-ever English-language single. The group's milestone demonstrates that the US music industry has no idea what to do when it comes to the "genre" and, well, K-pop groups and artists deserve better.

As a TV series, Psych is like one of those frozen yogurt chains where the wall is ringed with different flavors and you can keep pulling levers for whatever combination you want. There are the Shawn/Gus episodes, the “Shawn’s psychic lie is threatened” episodes, the increasingly genius and lovingly rendered (often ‘80s-tastic) tributes, and the ensemble classics where the whole cast is just a well-oiled machine after years of riffing off one another. You can have whatever flavor you want. And don’t even get me started on toppings.
Over its eight-year run, Psych interrogated its own premise, built out its supporting cast, let its characters play their favorite movie characters, and adapted its own internal mythology into trilogies that would make any movie-buff weep with appreciation. Here is a baker’s dozen of the most giggle-worthy, self-referential, surprisingly dramatic episodes of Psych.

Tracee Ellis Ross had to leave the set of “Black-ish” for a project so secret she wasn’t sure she could even tell her co-star on the show, Anthony Anderson. On Sunday, it won’t be a secret anymore.
Ross is one of several handfuls of celebrities scheduled to appear in the big-budget commercials that will run during Fox’s broadcast of Super Bowl Liv. The job offers a distinct thrill, but brings with it some very unique wrinkles.
Super Bowl ads “stand out through time, and they become little pieces of art,” says Ross in an interview. She will appear with Bryan Cranston in a remake of the 1980 Stanley Kubrick film “The Shining” that has been turned into a pitch on behalf of PepsiCo’s Mountain Dew. “A Super Bowl commercial is like the Olympics of commercials,” she adds.

For a brief, feverish time in the early 2010s, America was obsessed with the Seattle rapper Macklemore. It started with a catchy song, 2012’s “Thrift Shop,” a commercial juggernaut about buying ostentatious clothes for very small amounts of money. The track has aged strangely: You won’t see it on many Best Songs of the 2010s that roll out over the next six weeks or so, despite its then-endless radio play. “Can’t Hold Us,” a blandly inspirational song perfect for soundtracking Microsoft commercials, fared better. It’s not a good song,...
