Lea Salonga thrilled to be part of Netflix animated hit ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters'
In an interview with ABS-CBN's Yong Chavez on July 25, Salonga shared that she provided the singing voice for Celine, a former demon hunter who mentors a new generation of fighters in the movie.
'I sing one line, but it is one line I am so glad to have done because of how huge a hit [the film is],' Salonga said.
A self-confessed BTS fan, Salonga gushed over the fact that members of the global K-pop group have watched the film and even sang songs from it.
'Does that mean I am now officially one degree away from BTS because of this movie? I mean, it's crazy,' she said.
Salonga revealed that her involvement took only about an hour to record, with no clue at the time that the project would become a massive hit.
'I didn't know what was going to come of this. I am happy to have given an hour out of my life for what is now the biggest animated hit on Netflix,' she said. 'It's crazy. I'm so happy to have been a very, very small part of it.'
Although she has yet to watch the full movie, Salonga said she is planning to make time, especially knowing BTS has seen it.
Talking more about her admiration for the group, Salonga declared, 'I will follow BTS off a cliff,' recalling how she instantly became a fan after seeing member V in the music video for Dynamite.
'I try to endeavor to listen to music that is very different from mine, and I think that is why I like Right Place, Wrong Person as much as I do,' she added, referring to BTS member RM's recent solo album.

Netflix Is Betting Big on KPop Demon Hunters With Two Sequels
After breaking records and topping charts, KPop Demon Hunters is officially leveling up. According to a new report from The Wrap, Netflix is fast-tracking not one, but two sequels to the viral animated sensation—essentially confirming that the fan-favorite is here to stay. Since its launch, KPop Demon Hunters has become Netflix's most-watched animated film ever, while its infectious K-pop soundtrack hit #1 on multiple global charts. With those kinds of numbers, Netflix isn't just thinking sequel—it's thinking Frozen -level franchise. The streamer reportedly sees KPop Demon Hunters as its own Frozen moment: a genre-defining, culture-moving hit that could become synonymous with the platform. Sure, the metrics are different (hours watched vs. box office billions), but the cultural impact is tracking in the same direction. So what's next? The obvious: KPop Demon Hunters 2 and 3 are in early development. But that's not all. Other bold ideas being tossed around include a live-action remake and—get this—a stage musical. Yes, seriously. The film's rise has been anything but ordinary. It just hit its highest viewership yet—six weeks after release. That kind of delayed surge is unheard of in Netflix-land, where most projects peak early and fade fast. It turns out people keep coming back not just for the movie, but for its soundtrack—which doubles as a visual album you can vibe to on loop. The breakout tracks? Golden by the heroic band HUNTR/X and Your Idol by the sinister Saja Boys. Fittingly, the plot of the film revolves around those very two groups battling for chart dominance... and the soul of the planet. If you missed the memo: the film's premise is delightfully chaotic—generations of musicians using music to protect the world from demons. But when demons start dropping K-pop bangers of their own? Yeah, things get weird.

‘The Voice USA' Winner Sofronio Vasquez to release EP produced by Michael Bublé
The Voice USA winner Sofronio Vasquez is gearing up for the release of his debut EP—produced by none other than his coach and mentor, Michael Bublé Vasquez shared details of the project during a recent media event ahead of his performance at the upcoming Bravo! Manila concert. 'I'm excited to share that Michael Bublé is producing my EP. We did some of the songs already. In our recent conversation, a duet Christmas song featuring me and him will be first. We're [also] doing an English-Tagalog song,' he said. The still-untitled EP will also feature collaborations with legendary musicians David Foster and Paul Anka. Vasquez said more information about the tracks and collaborations will be released via social media soon. As of writing, five songs have already been recorded. In addition to his work with Bublé, Vasquez is also working on a separate EP under ABS-CBN Music, with recordings taking place in New York. The singer also expressed hopes that Bublé would eventually join him on stage in the Philippines. 'Kinukulit ko talaga siya, 'Mag-guest ka naman sa concert ko.' Pero ayaw niya talaga. He said, 'When I come there, it has to be very particular and magical for both of us. It's going to be big for sure,'' he shared. When asked about the most valuable lesson he learned from Bublé during The Voice, Vasquez recalled one piece of advice that stuck with him: 'Sabi niya sa akin, 'Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.' At first, I hesitated to hold back, but I later realized he was right. That's how artists last in this industry—by knowing when to do more and when to do less.' Vasquez is set to perform alongside Jed Madela and Bituin Escalante at the Bravo! Manila concert on August 23 at The Theatre at Solaire.

How ‘KPop Demon Hunters' became surprise hit of the summer
In the colourful, animated, musical world of 'KPop Demon Hunters,' everyone is a fan. The general public rocks T-shirts supporting their favorite idols. They hold light sticks and stare starry-eyed at stadium stages; they scream, they cry, they cheer, they buy the merch. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, then, that the Sony Pictures/ Netflix film itself has inspired similar fanfare, having topped the streamer's global rankings. Fans have flooded the internet with art, covers, cosplay and choreography in response to the movie, which follows the fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X as they fight demons. And it's not just the film that's a summer hit. The 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack has topped the charts — debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Soundtracks chart and No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200. Here's how 'KPop Demon Hunters' became the year's surprising success story. The 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack utilizes some of the best and brightest in the genre. That included a partnership with K-pop company The Black Label, co-founded by super producer Teddy Park, known for his work with YG, Blackpink and 2NE1 — empowered girl groups used as references for the film's protagonists, the trio HUNTR/X. It's one of the many reasons the musical film's soundtrack stands on its own. Filmmakers 'really did their homework,' says Jeff Benjamin, a music journalist who specializes in K-pop. Indeed, they did a lot of research. One of the film's directors, Maggie Kang, said that her team prioritised 'representing the fandom and the idols in a very specific way,' as to not disappoint K-pop fans. They pulled from a treasure trove of influences heard at every corner: The fictional, rival boy band Saja Boys' hit song 'Soda Pop,' for example, references the 90s K-pop group H.O.T. And it has worked. 'KPop Demon Hunters' is the highest charting soundtrack of 2025, with eight of its songs landing on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200. To put that in perspective: Lorde's 'Virgin' and Justin Bieber's 'Swag' did the same. In some ways, it recalls Disney's 'Encanto,' which topped the Billboard 200 and produced a No. 1 hit, 'We Don't Talk About Bruno ' in 2022. Similarly, 'KPop Demon Hunters' embraces 'the original soundtrack, which is a lost art form,' adds Benjamin. Tamar Herman, a music journalist and author of the 'Notes on K-pop' newsletter, says the movie succeeds because it embraces animated musical tradition and authentic K-pop music production styles in equal measure. She considers 'Kpop Demon Hunters' to be 'a musical with songs inspired by K-pop,' not unlike a Jukebox musical, where the songs of ABBA are reimagined for 'Mamma Mia.' The novelty of the film, too, seems to be resonating. Where many animated films rely on adapting existing intellectual property, 'KPop Demon Hunters' is original. And it comes from an original perspective. 'It's not completely Korean, it's not completely Western and it's kind of right in that middle,' says Kang. 'It's like not pulled from one side; it's kind of flavors of both. So, I think that's what makes the movie feels a little different.' And 'the core story is what's drawing everybody in,' says Kang. San Francisco-based cosplayer and content creator Nanci Alcántar, who goes by Naanny Lee online agrees. 'It's not only a K-pop group, but it also tells a story of their journey, of how they transform into powerful warriors,' said Alcántar in Spanish. For her, it goes beyond K-pop — it's about the narrative. Kang's approach to cultural authenticity, too, may have contributed to the film's crossover appeal. Rather than explaining Korean elements like HUNTR/X's visit to a traditional medicine clinic or translating K-pop light stick culture for Western audiences, she opted for full immersion. 'We just wanted everybody to just accept that they were in Korea,' Kang said. Associated Press
