K-pop Breaks Barriers: 'Golden' Wins Oscar for Best Original Song

In a historic achievement for K-pop, the song 'Golden' from the animated film 'KPop Demon Hunters' won the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 98th Academy Awards held in Los Angeles. This milestone not only marks the first Oscar win for a K-pop song but also sets records for having more than four co-writers and for the unique situation where not all composers received individual trophies. The performance by Ejae, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna celebrated Korean culture, although the acceptance speech was abruptly cut short, leading to audience discontent. The film also won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, competing against titles like 'Zootopia 2'.

Key Details: • Oscar ceremony took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. • The song 'Golden' features co-writers EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, Joong Gyu Kwak, Yu Han Lee, Hee Dong Nam, Jeong Hoon Seo, and Teddy Park. • The film 'KPop Demon Hunters' won two Oscars: Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature.
