Scope: songs on the Billboard Hot 100 whose credit line names a Korean act, plus the two fictional acts of KPop Demon Hunters (HUNTR/X and Saja Boys), the Korea-anchored crossover covered in our chart-records feature. "Entered top ten" is the first chart week in the top ten, from Wikipedia's yearly lists of top-ten singles, which we read for 2012 to 2026 and searched for the names of Korean acts and members of BTS and BLACKPINK; we found no other entries.2 Peak, peak week (the first week at the peak) and credit lines are from Billboard's artist pages, except the two Saja Boys rows, which are from Wikipedia's lists.12 "Weeks in top ten" counts the song's whole run, from Wikipedia's lists as of October 15, 2026, and * means the song was still counting.2 "Savage Love" is credited by Billboard to Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo; BTS was a credited act only for the week of October 17, 2020, when its remix reached No. 1, so that is the date shown, while its 16 weeks cover the whole song.3
PSY's (싸이) "Gangnam Style" entered the top ten at No. 2 on the chart dated October 6, 2012 and stayed there for 12 weeks. Wikipedia describes it as, at the time, the highest-charting song by a South Korean artist.124 A second PSY single, "Gentleman", reached No. 5 on May 4, 2013 and spent one week in the top ten.12 The table has no further entries until BTS's "Fake Love" in 2018.2
BTS first reached the top ten with "Fake Love" at No. 10 in June 2018, then "Boy With Luv" (No. 8, 2019) and "ON" (No. 4, March 2020).12 "Dynamite" debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated September 5, 2020 and spent three weeks there. Wikipedia says it made BTS the first all-South Korean act to top the Hot 100.15
The songs of KPop Demon Hunters are credited to the film's fictional acts: HUNTR/X, sung by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, and the rival Saja Boys, sung by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo and Samuil Lee.12 "Golden" entered the top ten on July 19, 2025 and reached No. 1 on August 16, spending 8 weeks at the top and 39 weeks in the top ten on Wikipedia's list.12 "Your Idol" (No. 4), "Soda Pop" (No. 3) and "How It's Done" (No. 8) also made the top ten.12
"Swim" debuted at No. 1 on April 4, 2026. Wikipedia counts it as BTS's seventh No. 1, the most for a group in nearly half a century.19 JENNIE (제니) joined the table on May 16, when "Dracula", her remix with Tame Impala, entered the top ten. It peaked at No. 5 on July 18, 2026, and Wikipedia's list gives it 20 weeks in the top ten.1210
