Maggie Kang’s directorial animated film, KPop Demon Hunters, which was released on June 20, 2025, continues to break records in every sector. The movie’s soundtrack has reached greater heights and earned a spot on the Billboard 200. If you don’t know the storyline, Netflix’s animated film revolves around a girl band named Huntrix that consists of three girls – Rumi, Mira, and Zoey – who are pop stars by day and demon slayers by night.

Set in an alternate version of South Korea, when these K-pop idols faced a demon group, The Saja Boys, led by Jinu, things get a little messier for Huntrix. Apart from having a unique storyline, the film has a fantastic album of songs, including How It’s Done, Golden, Soda Pop, Your Idol, Takedown, and Free. These soundtracks have been attracting a lot of attention across the globe. So much so that it got a spot on the Billboard 200.
