“KPop Demon Hunters” Is Having A Real-Life Battle With BTS, BLACKPINK, And KATSEYE

From fiction, to reality…

Sony‘s hit movie KPop Demon Hunters is stepping out of fiction and into reality, thanks to its fictional K-Pop groups, HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys.

KPop Demon Hunters follows a trio of female idols who sing by day and slay demons by night. When a new threat arises (demons disguised as a rival boy group, the Saja Boys), HUNTR/X’s Rumi is forced to confront her own personal demons.

Much of the film’s success stems from its soundtrack, which features “Golden” (HUNTR/X, EJAE, Audrey Nina, and Rei Ami), “Your Idol” (Saja Boys, Andre Choi, Neckway, Danny Chung, U-KISS‘s Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee).

Now, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys have officially joined real-life K-Pop stars by debuting on Billboard‘s Hot 100 music chart for the week of July 5. “Your Idol” currently holds the 77th spot, but “Golden” isn’t far behind at #81.
