Netflix's 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' Tops Charts in 41 Countries
The Netflix animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters, co-directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, has become a global sensation since its release on June 20, topping Netflix's charts in over 26 countries and ranking in the Top 10 in 93 nations. The story follows the K-pop girl group HUNTR/X, who secretly battle demons disguised as a rival boy band called Saja Boys, blending high-energy animation reminiscent of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with K-pop music and Korean cultural elements. Featuring a star-studded Korean voice cast including Lee Byung-hun and Ken Jeong, and music contributions from renowned K-pop producers, the film has been praised for its catchy soundtrack and vibrant style. Despite its success, the film faced criticism from some Chinese netizens accusing it of cultural appropriation. Netflix data shows strong viewership not only in Asia but also in Western markets like the U.S., France, and Germany, making it the platform's best-performing animated film since March 2025. Fans worldwide are calling for sequels and merchandise, signaling the film's impact as a major pop culture phenomenon.
