K-Pop continues its grip on Billboard's World Albums chart, with ATEEZ's "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5" staying at No. 1 for the second week running. The mini album is also holding at No. 19 on the main Billboard 200.

SEVENTEEN's new unit V8 made a strong entrance, debuting at No. 3 with their self-titled mini album—marking their first Billboard 200 appearance. Meanwhile, CORTIS's "GREENGREEN" EP remained steady at No. 2 in its 10th week, while the group's debut "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" climbed to No. 13 in its 44th week on the chart.

LE SSERAFIM's "PUREFLOW" stayed put at No. 4 in its seventh week, and BOYNEXTDOOR's debut album "HOME" rebounded to No. 5 in its fourth week. Stray Kids placed two releases on the chart—"KARMA" at No. 6 in its 46th week and "DO IT" at No. 12 in its 33rd week.

BTS's dominance remains remarkable: their 2022 anthology "Proof" held strong at No. 7 in its 213th week, while their 2020 Japanese album "Map of the Soul: 7 ~The Journey~" climbed to No. 18 in its 36th week—a testament to the group's lasting appeal across releases and formats.

aespa's "LEMONADE" maintained No. 8 in its sixth week, with ILLIT's "MAMIHLAPINATAPAI" at No. 9 in its 10th week. The lower half of the top 25 featured NewJeans' "Get Up" at No. 16 (its 148th week), ZEROBASEONE's "Ascend-" at No. 17, ENHYPEN's "THE SIN : VANISH" at No. 22 in its 25th week, and TXT's "7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns" at No. 23 in its 13th week.

The chart reflects the scale of K-Pop's market: multiple groups sustaining presence for months or years, new units debuting strongly, and Japanese-language releases from major acts competing for space alongside Korean-language albums. For fans tracking chart performance or collecting physical albums, this week shows K-Pop's continued commercial momentum.
