It has been an incredible year for K-Pop musicians, with BTS breaking a number of records held by both Taylor Swift and Harry Styles.
And it appears the scene is just going from strength to strength, as EXOs Baekhyun has gone and made history by becoming the highest charting K-Pop solo artist on Billboards Artist 100.
The 26-year-old ranked at number 84, which beat the former record holder Psy who charted at number 88.
BTSs J-Hope has also debuted in the Billboard charts at number 91, with his track Hope World.
The singer has had a break through month, after returning to number two on the latest Social 50 chart and topping the international music charts with his tune YOUNG.
His band EXO have also revealed that theyll be releasing their comeback album Dont Mess Up My Tempo, which is set to come out next month.

The K-Pop kings announced teaser photos and a track list of their upcoming fifth album, which showed the members of the band riding on motorcycles.
The album will be released on three versions: allegro, moderato and andante, and is now available for pre-orders on Korean sites Synnara and Yes24.
Who knows, maybe this will smash yet another record and help K-Pop dominate the charts.
This year has seen an incredible peak for the genre, with the seven piece boy band BTS smashing numerous amounts of records.
Earlier this year it was announced they entered the Guinness World Records 2019 edition – twice.
Their hard work paid off and earned them not one but two world record titles – with one seeing them overtake One Directions Harry Styles.
The bands music video for Fake Love racked up 200 million views in the first 44 days it was uploaded.
This meant it was the fastest music video to achieve the record by a K-pop group.
However, they smashed this out of the water with their own video, as DNA gained a whopping 21 million views in just 24 hours.
This saw the group earn heir first record for most viewed music video online in 24 hours by a K-pop group.
