BTS' Massive Record Broken By Netflix's Fictional K-Pop Group Saja Boys
This surpasses BTS' chart-topping hit Dynamite, which peaked at No. 3 in 2020, a major feat considering Saja Boys don't even exist outside the animated universe of the film.
Netflix's animated hit K-Pop Demon Hunters is not just slaying demons but also slaying records. The fictional K-Pop group Saja Boys, featured in the film, has officially broken a record previously held by global K-Pop icons BTS, making waves across charts and fandoms.
Their track Your Idol has soared to No. 2 on the US Spotify chart, making it the highest-charting K-Pop boy band song in US Spotify history. This surpasses BTS' chart-topping hit Dynamite, which peaked at No. 3 in 2020 — a major feat considering Saja Boys don't even exist outside the animated universe of the film.
The buzz began as soon as the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack dropped, debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard charts — and climbing steadily. Fans of the film have fallen hard for the fictional group's catchy tunes and stunning visuals. In an unexpected twist, even BTS' RM was seen singing the group's peppy number Soda Pop on a livestream, signalling approval from the kings themselves.
In the film, Saja Boys are secretly demons whose rise in popularity saps the magical powers protecting Earth — a plot twist that ironically mirrors their rise in the real world. But fear not: fictional rivals HUNTR/X, who serve as the protectors in the storyline, are doing well themselves. Their track Golden has also pulled impressive streaming numbers.
The fictional Saja Boys are brought to life by a mix of actors and real-life vocalists. The group is voiced by Ahn Hyo-seop, Joel Kim Booster, Alan Lee, and SungWon Cho, while their songs are performed by Andrew Choi, Samuil Lee, Kevin Woo, Neckwav, and Danny Chung.
KPop Demon Hunters is now one of Netflix's biggest animated hits of the year. With Grammy and Oscar buzz in the air for both its music and animation, fans are already speculating about a potential sequel, spinoff series, or even a live-action adaptation. Though nothing is confirmed yet, Netflix seems to have struck gold with this KPop-meets-demon-hunting formula.
