“Kpop Demon Hunters” have been on the rave since its release. Thanks to the talented fictional groups HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys, the film has gained traction, not only from fans but also from K-pop idols and groups. Adding to the film’s success, the two fictional groups recently debuted on Billboard’s Top 100 music charts, with their tracks “Your Idol” holding #77 place and “Golden” not that far behind at #81.

Surprisingly, these songs have surpassed recent chart entries by BTS (방탄소년단) and KATSEYE (캣츠아이). As a result, many in the industry are taking notice. Critics have praised the film’s music for its polished production and authentic K-pop sound. The success signals a shift, where animated groups can compete alongside real-world idols in mainstream music charts.

The animated film is a musical packed with plot twists, romance, and action. Since its release on 20th June (Saturday), its songs have taken over listeners’ playlists. Tracks like “Soda Pop,” “Golden,” and “Your Idol” have become instant earworms. As a result, real-life idols have started covering them. For instance, A.C.E. leader Park Junhee (박준희) performed “Your Idol,” while Ahn Hyo Seop (안효섭), the voice actor for Jinu, covered “Free.”

During the BTS reunion livestream, RM (아르엠) surprised fans by singing a snippet of “Soda Pop” from “K-pop Demon Hunter”. The moment quickly went viral, prompting Netflix to update their official Twitter bio to: “BTS NOTICED SAJA BOYS 7.01.25.” This playful change fueled even more buzz around the film and its growing cultural impact.

Unfortunately, Saja Boys and HUNTR/X couldn’t beat ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT”, which is still leading at #28, impressively staying on the charts for 36 weeks. The song continues to dominate streaming platforms and radio, setting a high benchmark for other artists to beat. Nevertheless, fans of “K-pop Demon Hunters“ are eagerly watching the fictional groups and monitoring their success. Many also wonder if these virtual idols could surpass “APT” and become the most famous K-pop acts worldwide.

HUNTR/X and Saja Boys’ rapid rise and viral success suggest that the boundary between reality and animation is fading. This growing hype has sparked lively debates among fans about the future of K-pop and the power of storytelling in music.
