K-Pop Breakthrough: 'KPop Demon Hunters' Wins Grammy for Best Song

For the first time, a K-Pop song has won a Grammy Award as 'Golden' from 'KPop Demon Hunters' takes home the prize at the Los Angeles ceremony, marking a significant moment for the genre.

Golden, the inescapable hit from the movie KPop Demon Hunters, has become the first ever K-Pop song to win a Grammy Award. Performed by the fictional band Huntr/x, it picked up best song for visual media as the awards ceremony got underway in Los Angeles. It is also nominated for song of the year.

Released last June, KPop Demon Hunters became Netflix's most-viewed movie of all time, with more than 480 million views. The propulsive soundtrack, full of candy-coated earworms, became the first to top the Billboard charts since 2022, suggesting a growing recognition of Korean pop's cultural and commercial force.

Other early winners included British stars Yungblud, The Cure and FKA Twigs, while the Dalai Lama won best audiobook and eight-year-old Aura V became the youngest ever Grammy recipient, for best children's album.

Ahead of the main ceremony, Kendrick Lamar took home three awards, including best rap song for 'TV Off', positioning him as a strong contender for album of the year later in the night. He faces tough competition from high-profile nominees including Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Bad Bunny, whose album is tipped to win best album.

As K-Pop continues to make waves in the music industry, with artists like Blackpink and Rosé also up for major awards this year, the future looks bright for this genre on the global stage.
