About the role

J-hope and GloRilla's "Killin' It Girl," a spectacular blend of K-pop flare and shameless hip-hop heat that has taken the world by storm, is this week's winner of the Best Collaboration of Summer 2025 award. The song, which was released at BTS' 12th anniversary, recently became the fastest Korean music video to gain one million views on YouTube in 2025. Lisa from Tyla x BLACKPINK, whose passionate R&B crossover song "When I'm With You" equally captivated viewers, came in second.

The Reasons Why GloRilla and J-hope Hit It This Summer Successful Genre Fusion By fusing GloRilla's strong rap delivery with the brightness of K-pop, the song pushes the limits of genres and unites fans from both sides in a single, electrifying moment.
