and rankings were compiled based on Hanteo Chart data, streaming and download data from Naver VIBE, and domestic radio and television music playback data. Updates were published on ''Billboard'' Korea's website every Tuesday, and appeared on billboard.com the following day. Silvio Pietroluongo, ''Billboard''s Director of Charts, called the launch "a milestone event", as it would "provide the Korean music market with what we believe is Korea's most accurate and relevant song ranking." Pietroluongo further stated that they were "excited to be expanding ''Billboard''s globally recognized Hot 100 chart franchise into this country, and look forward to enhancing the K-Pop Hot 100 chart in the near future with additional data as well as creating new charts that showcase the breadth of Korean music". Due to the Korean market having a more active distribution of digital music compared to physical album sales at the time of the chart's launch, initial rankings solely reflected digital sales from major music sites, as well as downloads from mobile service sites, weighted using ''Billboard''s industry-standard formula. Weekly rankings were simultaneously announced in the United States and Korea on billboard.com in the international chart section of billboard.biz, in print editions of ''Billboard'' magazine, and also on the ''Billboard'' Korea website, billboard.co.kr. The first number-one song on the chart was " So Cool" by Sistar, on the issue dated September 3, 2011. ''Billboard'' suspended the chart in the United States effective the May 17, 2014 issue, but the final issue published was actually dated June 21. The Korean version of the chart was subsequently discontinued as of the July 16 issue date. On December 20, 2017, ''Billboard'' officially announced the reactivation of the K-pop Hot 100, and the relaunch of the ''Billboard'' Korea website. Chart updates also resumed on billboard.com. The first issue of the reestablished chart was for the period May 29–June 4, 2017. ''Billboard'' suspended the Korean version of the chart without notice in 2022, effective the April 23 issue. The US edition of the chart was subsequently discontinued, effective the April 30 issue date. "
