It’s official: KPop Demon Hunters isn’t just a hit—it’s the biggest title in Netflix history! The animated film has officially broken streaming records, garnering an impressive 236 million views in its first month alone. This monumental viewership count has secured its place as the most-viewed title ever on the streaming giant. The film even brought in $18 million during its opening weekend —a first for a Netflix Original. It’s no surprise that the studio wasted no time in confirming the future of the franchise. A sequel has already been announced!
Why the massive, record-shattering hype? Because the concept is pure genius, action-packed. The movie centers on Korean pop superstars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who live double lives. When they aren’t thrilling millions of fans, they are using their martial arts skills and powerful stage presence as demon hunters. Their mission is to protect their massive fanbase from supernatural threats that are always lurking nearby. In the movie, they face their biggest challenge yet: an irresistibly charming rival boy band that is actually a group of demons in disguise.
The film, which blends high-octane action with killer musical numbers, was directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. The cast includes Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, Daniel Dae Kim, and the always hilarious Ken Jeong.
