On August 21, TJ Media, a leading karaoke company in Korea, announced that "Golden," the OST from the Netflix animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters" (hereafter referred to as "Kedeheon"), has claimed the number one spot on the August popularity chart.

The title track "Golden" from the Kedeheon OST proved its global popularity by topping the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100 on August 1 and the US Billboard Hot 100 on August 11. According to a Billboard chart preview article published on August 17, the Kedeheon OST has continued its worldwide success, ranking second on the main album chart, Billboard 200, for three consecutive weeks.

The "Golden" craze has also swept the domestic karaoke market. According to TJ Media, "Golden" soared 3,455 spots to reach third place on the July chart. Fueled by the spread of the "Golden Challenge" on social media, the song maintained the top spot on the daily chart from July 27 and ultimately secured first place on the August monthly chart.

Keeping up with the trend, TJ Media established a dedicated "Kedeheon" category within the karaoke popularity chart on August 14, allowing users to quickly and easily find and sing songs from the Kedeheon OST. Currently, there are a total of seven Kedeheon OST tracks available at TJ Karaoke, including "Golden," "Soda Pop," and "Your Idol."
