There was a lot of talk about Summer Blockbusters and Performances of the box office in 2025As a few hopeful for franchise-initiating, new Chinese universes, remake, sequels, and even original film or two, trying to make the audience influence. However, the definitive film of the summer was not found in the cinemas, but the records still collapsed.
I'm talking, of course, about "KPOP Demon Hunters", the animated film by Maggie Kang and Chris Apelhans produced by Sony Pictures Animation and released on Netflix last June, it's about the K-Pop band that must beat a rival boy on the demons of humanity. Although the film has arrived - like most Netflix films - without fanfare or promotion, it quickly became a global sensation.
Especially the soundtrack of the film quickly attracted the attention of the planet, just like the Saya boys, who came to steal the souls of most of Seoul. The two fake K-pop groups in the film shaken many real records in our worldWith "Golden", the enraged song by the fictional female band Henttr/X, reaching the Billboard Hot 100 site number 1. The two fictional bands had endangered real life bars such as BTS and Blacks and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns and Huns, now the first. Band to reach the top of the Billboard 100 of the "bootylicious" of the child of Destiny, still in 2001.
This makes the funniest Easter egg in the film even smarter, as it pairs Huntr/X with another extremely popular band - the one with a big connection to the animated film.
A knot on the right hunt/x
The first Easter egg comes early in the film, shortly after Hanttre/C performs "how it was done" on a thrilled crowd, which had no idea that the group had just jumped off the plane while fighting demons. The band meets their manager, Bobby (Ken Ongong), who checks his phone to see how the song is being performed, and we see that he is at the top of the graphs, followed by the song "Strategy" by band K-Pop in real life. Later, during the "Idol" awards and immediately go to hell for Henttr/x, we see the band in the scene in the hallway surrounded by posters, including one for twice.
Twice it is a Korean K-pop group of nine members who debuted in 2015. The band is particularly noticeable about the film because the band members (specifically Jeongjeon, Ihiyo and Tea) perform a cover of Hunter/x Takedown during the KPOP Demon Hunters' final loans. The song "Strategy" is a real song of the band that even plays early in the film, just before Hunt/x released "Golden".
The relationship between twice and "KPOP Demon Hunters" did not just stop with the film. The group performed "Takedown" in a recent performance by Lollapalooza Chicago (the first k-pop girls to perform on the main stage) and made waves on the Internet with a show of drones that ended with "Honmoon is sealed", referring to the film.
"KPOP Demon hunters" broke practically Each Netflix viewership record to become one of their biggest films so far. The meme is everywhere, and finally, Netflix listens. The streamer is now considering not only extensions, but a live remake, and even a stage of adaptation. Not only that, but Netflix is forced to succumb to public pressure and make a limited theater release of the film in special singing events.
