K‑Pop Demon Hunters Continues to Dominate: Chart Reign and Producer Power

Released on Netflix on June 20, the animated film K‑Pop Demon Hunters has become a global sensation, racking up over 130 million views and claiming the title of Netflix’s most-watched animated film ever. Its official soundtrack topped the Billboard Soundtracks chart and reached #2 on the Billboard 200, with the lead track “Golden” conquering both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. US charts. In South Korea, the track achieved a perfect all-kill across local music platforms and even surpassed BLACKPINK’s previous Spotify US record for a female K-pop group.

Behind this unprecedented success stands legendary producer Teddy Park, who shaped the signature explosive sound of the fictional group HUNTR/X. Known for his past work with BLACKPINK and 2NE1, Teddy's sonic fingerprint is all over the movie’s music, drawing critical acclaim and fan devotion.

The cultural impact has gone far beyond charts. Global fans have flooded social media with fan art, cosplay, and dance covers, turning the film into a phenomenon. Industry experts suggest this may signal the rise of virtual idol groups coexisting with traditional K-pop acts, potentially changing the landscape of pop culture.
