K-pop Demon Hunters Is Breaking the Internet_You Won't Believe How This Korean Anime Is Outselling BTS
When K-pop Meets Demons and OTT Total Madness! Imagine if your favorite K-pop idols were secretly battling demons after their concerts. Sounds wild, right?

Released on June 20, this action-packed fantasy is about three superstar idols-Rumi, Mira, and Joy-who double as heroic demon hunters when they're not slaying it on stage. The twist? Their main rivals are a supernatural boy group called Lion Boys, who look like they just walked out of a viral TikTok dance challenge. This isn't just another run-of-the-mill anime. The creators mashed up K-pop, occult themes, and classic Korean culture-think hanbok, shaman rituals, and even the iconic Namsan Tower. It's like if Dhoom met BTS , but with more glitter and ghosts. Global Domination-Not Just in Korea! by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now K-pop Demon Hunters didn't get much hype when it was first announced back in 2021. But after its release, it exploded-especially outside Korea. According to streaming tracker FlixPatrol, the film has held the #1 spot on Netflix's global movie chart for over a week, topping the rankings in 26 countries, including Brazil, France, Czech Republic, Taiwan, and Vietnam. That's the kind of overnight success most Bollywood blockbusters only dream of. What's making everyone binge-watch?

The main song, "TAKETOWN," sounds so legit, you'd think it was a comeback single. The OST album hit #1 on the US iTunes Album Chart, and several songs entered the Top 100 Song Chart. On Spotify US, the Lion Boys' "Your Idol" reached #5 and Huntrix's "Golden" hit #8. Other tracks like "How It's Done" and "Soda Pop" are also climbing.
