It has become the most-watched original animated film on the platform. For those who don’t know, the storyline revolves around a girl band named Huntrix featuring Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who are K-pop stars by day and demon hunters by night.
But things take a different turn when they come face-to-face with the demon boy band, The Saja Boys, led by Jinu. Chaos is unleashed, and the Huntrix almost loses their power to save the city and Honmoon. Set in an alternate universe of South Korea, the beautiful blend of Korean culture and modern-day aesthetics, along with a unique storyline, has kept the audience hooked. Scroll ahead to find out how it has achieved the latest benchmark.

Not only the plot, but the original soundtrack of the film has also garnered a lot of accolades. Most importantly, the track Golden that Huntrix sang in the movie has reclaimed its No. 1 spot on the Billboard Global Charts.
