The launch also featured prominent figures including BTS leader RM, Korean DJ Peggy Gou, and OpenAI executives Jason Kwon, Brad Lightcap and Oliver Jay. It marked OpenAI’s latest expansion into Korea—its fastest-growing market in Asia.

Meanwhile, KPop Demon Hunters and its soundtrack has achieved major chart success. The film has become Netflix’s most-watched original animated title with over 236 million views, and the soundtrack is the first in Hot 100 history to place four songs in the top ten simultaneously, including “Golden”, “Your Idol”, “Soda Pop” and “How It’s Done”.
