If you haven’t heard of “KPop Demon Hunters,” it’s time to get acquainted. This American animated musical is the film that just broke Netflix’s all-time viewership record, proving that a fresh idea can be more powerful than the biggest movie stars in the world.
The film follows Huntr/x, a wildly popular K-pop girl group that has a secret: they are also highly skilled demon hunters. This imaginative premise, combined with stunning animation and a catchy soundtrack, has propelled the movie to an incredible 236 million views, surpassing the previous record holder, “Red Notice.”
“KPop Demon Hunters” is not just a streaming success; it’s a cultural touchstone. Its soundtrack made history by landing four songs in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10, a feat unheard of for a film soundtrack. The movie has received widespread acclaim for its visuals, writing, and music.
While it leads in views, it sits at number three for total watch time, behind longer films like “Red Notice” and “Don’t Look Up.” But with a sequel already greenlit, the phenomenon of “KPop Demon Hunters” is only just beginning.
