On Thursday, four members of the Korean girl group Loona (stylized as LOOΠΔ) released their beauty&thebeat EP fronted by the single “Love4eva.” A sweetly effusive electro-pop tune with dynamic synths and a kinetic breakdown, the song contains an introductory lead-in from none other than Canadian artist Grimes. Featuring Yves, Chuu, Olivia Hye, and Go Won, yyxy is the third Loona subunit to have released an album. It represents the final third of one of the loftiest girl group projects South Korea’s highly-competitive music industry has ever seen, one that has spurred a dedicated following around a girl group that doesn't entirely exist yet.

BTS Becomes the First K-Pop Act to Top Billboard Album Chart Image BTS performing at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. Credit Mario Anzuoni/Reuters By Ben Sisario May 28, 2018 K-pop has finally gone to No. 1. “Love Yourself: Tear,” the new album by the Korean boy band BTS , has opened at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. This makes it the first entrant of the exuberant Korean K-pop genre to reach the top of the album chart, six years after Psy’s song and video “ Gangnam Style ” brought the style to the American mainstream. “Love Yourself: Tear” had the equivalent of 135,000 sales in the United States in its first week out, of which 100,000 were copies sold as a full album, according to Nielsen; streams and downloads of individual tracks made up the rest. The seven-member group, which has been steadily building its American fan army online, performed its hit “Fake Love” at the Billboard Music Awards last week, where BTS also won to...

The album was released on May 18 and sold 135,000 total copies in its first week, including 100,000 traditional album sales. That makes this debut the second-biggest of 2018, just behind Migos' "Culture II", which sold 199,000 copies in its first week. It's also the first foreign-language album to top the Billboard 200 in over 12 years -- since Il Divo's 2006 album "Ancora ." This marks the second time BTS has appeared in the Billboard Top Ten, the first being their previous album 'Love Yourself: Her,' which opened at No. 7 in 2017. No other K-pop release has ever broken into the top 10, let alone the No. 1 spot. Popular K-pop groups like BTS have long had devout fan bases in South Korea and across Asia, but only began breaking into the American market recently. "Love Yourself: Tear" pushed Post Malone's album "Beerbongs and Bentleys," which had been No. 1 for three straight weeks, to No. 2. BTS also beat out artists like...
