Massive global success and possible sequel
KPop Demon Hunters is currently in Netflix’s Top 10 in all 93 countries and hit No. 1 in 33 countries, including South Korea, Brazil, France, Mexico, and the Philippines. Director Maggie Kang has shared that she has plans for a sequel, and considering the movie’s success, we might get an official announcement sooner rather than later.
The producers of the film have announced that they will be submitting the movie and its songs for award consideration. Golden was performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI, and produced by Teddy Park and Ian Eisendrath.
Producer shares insights on the soundtrack
Speaking to Variety, Eisendrath shared, “I find K-Pop to be the most theatrical genre of music today, and that obviously lends itself to the story and the screen. Our goal from day one was to have the songs double-function as songs that forward or comment on the action story because I do not believe you can take up screen time and not have it do something for the story.”
