[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] K-pop group BTS has topped the chart for the most popular song in the United States with a song sung in Korean. This is the first time in history that a Korean-language song has reached number one on the Billboard 'Hot 100' singles chart.

On the 30th (local time), Billboard announced that BTS's new song "Life Goes On" had reached number one on the Hot 100 chart.

"Life Goes On" is the title track of BTS's new mini-album "BE." Most of the song, except for the chorus, is in Korean.

Reaching the top of the Hot 100 chart means that the song was the most popular in the United States for that week.

In August, BTS also became the first Korean artist to top the Hot 100 with the English-language song "Dynamite."

BTS has consecutively placed three songs at number one on the Hot 100: "Dynamite," the remix of "Savage Love" by Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo featuring BTS, and now "Life Goes On."
