In the ever-evolving world of K-pop, few names carry the kind of weight and creative power as Teddy and his team at The Black Label. From global chart domination to the world of animated fantasy, Teddy is orchestrating a cultural takeover — one killer beat at a time.
Teddy, the mastermind behind BLACKPINK’s biggest anthems — from “DDU-DU DDU-DU” to “Pink Venom” — and now, producer Teddy is expanding his sonic empire.
The latest proof? Netflix’s animated feature “K-pop Demon Hunters” has become an instant global sensation, blending supernatural themes with high-octane musical performances. But behind the film’s explosive soundtrack is The Black Label, crafting a soundscape as iconic as its on-screen heroines and villains.
Tracks like “Golden” and “How It’s Done”, performed by the film’s girl group HUNTRIX, and “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol” by the reaper-themed boy band Saja Boys, are more than catchy tunes — they’re K-pop gold, crafted by The Black Label’s elite producers. With Teddy at the helm, alongside talents like Kush, 24, Vince, ido, and Danny Chung (who also voices Baby from Saja Boys), the film’s musical direction delivers both spectacle and substance.
Not stopping at sound alone, The Black Label’s famed choreographer Lee Jung brought the razor-sharp synchronized dances to life, cementing the film’s commitment to authentic K-pop artistry. The result? An animated film that doesn’t just reference K-pop — it is K-pop.
The K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack has made a powerful entrance on the Billboard 200, debuting at No. 8 on the chart dated July 5. Billboard reports the album earned 27,000 streaming equivalent units, along with 3,000 physical sales and 1,000 track equivalent units during its first week. This marks the first soundtrack of 2025 to break into the top 10, and notably, the highest-debuting soundtrack of the year so far.

But The Black Label's dominance doesn't end in fiction.
Their newest group, ALLDAY PROJECT, has burst onto the real-world music scene, achieving a rare “all-kill” on Korea’s major music charts with their debut double title tracks “FAMOUS” and “WICKED”. Just four days after its release, “FAMOUS” rocketed to No.1 on Melon’s Top 100, later topping daily and weekly rankings across Genie, Bugs, FLO, and more. “WICKED,” backed by a jaw-dropping performance video, is climbing fast, dominating YouTube’s trending charts and holding firm in the Melon Hot 100.
Led by members Annie, Tarzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Youngseo, ALLDAY PROJECT isn’t just another rookie group — they’re The Black Label’s latest weapon, following in the footsteps of their genre-defining predecessors. With Teddy producing once again, the group fuses dynamic performance with trend-setting sound, proving that The Black Label knows exactly how to build a K-pop powerhouse.
From animated demons to real-world domination, one thing is clear: where Teddy goes, the culture follows.
Stay tuned. The Black Label story is just getting started.
