KPOP has already had major releases in 2025 in prominent groups of the fourth generation such as Aespa, Itzy and Ateez. However, none of them punctured the fan bubble, especially here in the West. It was up to Blackpink with “jump” to put the Korean pop at the top of the global charts again and, with the impending return of BTS, Seoul can be the capital of music in the world again.
Remember that the biggest hits of Kpop in the year so far are from Blackpink members: Rosé’s “Apt” and “Like Jennie”. In addition to Katseye, who faces controversy if he is really Korean pop.

In a busy week with prominent releases such as Justin Bieber, the “Kpop Titans” got the best debut and stabilized first on Spotify Global. They became the first group to win three number 1 songs on the platform, as they reached 2022 twice with “Pink Venom” and “Shut Down.”
In “Jump”, Blackpink joined the useful with the pleasant when it used its electronic reflections formula and self-assertion lyrics, something they don’t even need anymore. Everyone already knows the power of Jennie, Lisa, Rosé and Jisoo.
The new single reinforced the feeling that the band became an even more established global phenomenon, especially after the more focused phase in the solo career of the four members.
With a worldwide road tour and yet an album to release this year, Blackpink has already positioned itself as a major competitor to the hit of the year.
E o BTS?
The only group capable of rivaling with Blackpink is BTS. This all in the middle of kpop know. However, they have been in a hiatus since all its members have been to the two years of compulsory military service in Korea. In June, everyone left the enlistment and now prepared for the.
The seven artists have already made it clear that the return will come in style: with new album and world tour, as are Blackpink. Once the official announcement comes, the internet will end up and the charts will make room for their arrival.
And even without releasing songs together since 2022, BTS has remained active on the charts through their solo career highlights.
Jimin, for example, figured on important global range such as Spotify and Billboard with “Who”, which reached number 1 on Hot 100.
Like Jung-kook, which reached the same feat with “Seven”, partnership with Latto. And all the other members, J-Hope, Suga, V, Jin and RM launched their solo work.
