7 Times K-Pop Was Included In Mainstream Hollywood Movies
It’s always a pleasant surprise when you’re watching a movie and you hear a familiar beat.
While it’s unfortunate that Red Velvet‘s “Psycho” won’t be featured in the upcoming DC film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), there are a number of times K-Pop has made its way into mainstream films, whether it was included as part of the trailer or background music to make the scene unfolding before you just right.
1. “Rising Sun” – DBSK, Fast & Furious (2009)
2. “Nobody” – Wonder Girls, Penguins of Madagascar (2013)
3. “Fantastic” – Rap Monster, Fantastic Four (2015)
4. “Fantastic Baby” – BIGBANG, Pitch Perfect 2’s Trailer (2015)

6. “Hangover (feat. Snoop Dogg)” – PSY, Black Panther (2018)
