The song in question is 'Golden,' an insert song from the animated film 'KPop Demon Hunters,' which has gained this achievement just seven weeks after entering the charts, thanks to the film's global popularity.
Earlier, on Aug. 1, it also reached number one on the UK's official singles chart, sweeping both major global charts.

The popularity of this song is truly a sensation.
From K-pop artists to international pop stars, challenges to sing along with the song have spread like a trend, and there has even been a so-called 'open run' line at the National Museum of Korea to purchase the Korean characters featured in the film.
