The project adds to her growing filmography that includes collaborations with Japanese horror maestro Takashi Miike and roles alongside Olivia Wilde and Chris Evans.

When Hyperpop Went Mainstream: The 'Brat' Effect

  • The Brat era redefined hyperpop's commercial potential
  • Charli's seamless pivot to film mirrors her genre-blurring musical approach
  • Her South Korean finale underscores K-pop's growing influence on global pop trends
