KATSEYE is solidifying their status as a global pop powerhouse. On January 13, 2026, Billboard officially revealed that the group’s latest single, “Internet Girl,” has entered the Hot 100 at No. 29.

This achievement marks the group’s highest debut on the prestigious U.S. chart to date, showcasing their rapidly growing influence in the mainstream music market.

A Week of Record-Breaking Achievements

Beyond the impressive debut of “Internet Girl,” KATSEYE is enjoying a career-best week on the Billboard charts.

Their previous hit, “Gabriela,” reached a new peak of No. 21 in its 25th week on the Hot 100. This steady climb demonstrates the song’s remarkable longevity and sustained popularity among listeners.

Also, KATSEYE reached a significant milestone by simultaneously charting three different songs on the Hot 100 this week. Joining “Internet Girl” and “Gabriela” is their track “Gnarly,” which currently holds the No. 89 spot in its 13th non-consecutive week.

Dominating Global Charts

The group’s success isn’t limited to the United States. “Internet Girl” made a strong splash on Billboard’s international charts, debuting at No. 32 on the Global 200 and No. 49 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart. Their other tracks also showed significant upward movement:

  • “Gabriela” climbed to No. 20 on the Global 200 and No. 21 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart.
  • “Gnarly” jumped to No. 156 on the Global 200 and successfully re-entered the Global Excl. U.S. chart at No. 193.

Rising Artist Rankings

As a testament to their overall impact and brand power, KATSEYE has surged to No. 16 on Billboard’s Artist 100.

This marks their 32nd week on the chart, proving that they are not just a one-hit wonder but a consistent force in the industry.

This surge in rankings comes on the heels of other major news, including their upcoming performance at Governors Ball 2026 alongside fellow K-pop icons Stray Kids and BLACKPINK’s Jennie.

A Bright Future Ahead

With multiple songs simultaneously charting and a debut at No. 29 for “Internet Girl,” KATSEYE is entering 2026 with incredible momentum.

Their ability to maintain long-term chart presence while launching new hits at high positions suggests a deeply engaged fanbase and broad general public appeal.

As they prepare for major festival appearances and potential award nominations later this year, KATSEYE’s trajectory continues to point toward global superstardom.

Fans of high-stakes mystery and intricate role-playing games have a major reason to celebrate. On January 13, 2026, it was officially confirmed that the hit Netflix variety series “Crime Scene Zero” will be returning for its sixth season.

This announcement marks the continuation of a franchise that has redefined the “whodunnit” genre in variety television, blending deep immersion with sharp-witted entertainment.

Following the massive success of the previous season, which was lauded for its cinematic scale and complex narratives, the production team is gearing up to raise the bar once again for the global audience.

A Legacy of Immersion and Wit

“Crime Scene” has long been a favorite among variety show enthusiasts for its unique format.

In this role-playing mystery game, participants are cast into a dual role: they are both suspects in a fictional murder case and detectives tasked with uncovering the true culprit hiding among them.

The show’s previous season, “Crime Scene Zero” (Season 5), was particularly noteworthy for its veteran lineup, which included Jang Jin, Park Ji Yoon, Jang Dong Min, Kim Ji Hun, and IVE’s An Yu Jin.

The season was further invigorated by rotating guest players who added layers of unpredictability to the game.

Its partnership with Netflix allowed for a larger budget, resulting in more elaborate sets, intricate props, and world-building that felt more like a movie than a traditional variety show.

Evolution and Original Vision

Producer Yoon Hyun Joon, the creative mind behind the series, expressed both excitement and a sense of responsibility regarding the new season. He noted that while it took time to gather the courage to return to such a demanding production, the “full support” of Netflix has paved the way for something special. The central themes for Season 6 have been identified as “original vision” and “evolution.”

This suggests that while the core mechanics that fans love will remain intact, the production team intends to innovate the gameplay and storytelling.

Yoon also took a moment to thank the dedicated fanbase, whose active feedback and consistent support have been the driving force behind the show’s longevity.

Anticipation for New Gameplay and Narrative

The announcement has already sparked intense speculation among viewers regarding the upcoming season’s cast and cases.

Season 5 was praised for its “carefully crafted cases” and the “clever tricks” planted by the production team, which kept even the most seasoned mystery lovers guessing until the very end.

Fans are particularly eager to see if the beloved core cast will return or if new faces will join the investigation.

The “diverse character play” and the witty banter between the participants have always been a highlight of the show, and expectations are high for Season 6 to deliver even more engaging interactions and mind-bending plot twists.

The Global Impact of Korean Mystery Variety

The renewal of “Crime Scene Zero” is a testament to the global appeal of Korean variety content, specifically within the mystery and psychological thriller genres.

By successfully transitioning from a cult favorite to a global Netflix original, the show has proven that intellectual gameplay combined with charismatic personalities can amaze an international audience.

As the production enters its next phase, the industry is watching closely to see how the team will further “evolve” the format.

For now, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates regarding the cast lineup and premiere date, as the hunt for the hidden criminal is far from over.
