It\u2019s no secret that K-Pop <\/a>is on the rise<\/a>. Even so, the meteoric success of KPop Demon Hunters<\/em><\/a>, released on Netflix on June 20, feels like a bigger beast altogether. In just over a month, it became the streamer\u2019s most-watched original animated film.<\/u> Now, barely two months after its release, the film is Netflix\u2019s most-watched original film of all time<\/em>.<\/u><\/p>\n KPop Demon Hunters <\/em>predominately follows Rumi, Zoey, and Mira, three young women who are members of Huntr\/x, a girl group chosen to carry the torch of protecting their world from demons that lurk in the shadows. As long as they top the charts and bring joy to their fans through their music, nothing will come between them and their ultimate purpose. That is, until a demon boy group threatens to steal their fans (and their souls).<\/p>\n It\u2019s a wildly creative premise that became much more real than anyone involved, including directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, might\u2019ve bargained for. Huntr\/x is used to defending their honor and destroying demons, so it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise how they knocked 2021\u2019s Red Notice <\/em>out of Netflix\u2019s top spot with 236 million views <\/u>and counting.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more surprising is the chart success that shows Huntr\/x and Saja Boys, the charming demon boy group, battling it out in real time on the Billboard <\/em>Hot 100<\/u>. When Huntr\/x\u2019s \u201cGolden\u201d reached<\/u> No. 1,<\/u> it ended the 28-week reign of Alex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary,\u201d and became the first girl group song to reach the top <\/a>since Destiny\u2019s Child released \u201cBootylicious\u201d in 2001.<\/p>\n
