Since nobody else want to admit it, I will.

I really enjoyed this movie. My daughter has watched it like four more times in the past couple of days.

It's on Netflix and from Sony.

Watched it with my daughter and it was fun. Good music, good characters, and just fun.

Really cool to see Korean culture in an animated movie that's popular around the world. I thought it was really well done, using K-Pop and traditional Korean mythology with Korean words. On a deeper level, as the future father of a Korean American, it gives Korean representation in a way that didn't exist before in a big animated production by a studio like Sony. I hope they make more.

I watched this on a training session today.

Total fire. 37 year old dude and making the wife and daughter watch it with me tonight.

I really like stuff like Miles Morales and Arcane. Similar lane.

Personally partial to CPop Dragon Hunters, but I know not everyone is into Czech dance music and Soviet realism animation.

My daughter tried to get me to watch it with her and the movie was corny and awful -I found myself just on my phone the whole time, but damnit are those songs catchy. I've been singing them for days.

Kind of a bummer, tbh.

Your daughter asked to do something with you and you just scrolled your phone the entire time?

lol Watched this last night with my daughter, and this movie had no right being as charming as it was.

The music was legit good and I was bobbing my head to…all of them? Just a delight and would recommend for basically anyone.

Also, "Your Idol", the last performance by the Saja Boys in their demon form was my fav. Just bonkers choreography and song writing.

The music from this movie is taking over.

Decided to see what all the online hubbub was about on Friday night, after taking my evening edible and winding down to go to sleep. Ended up watching the whole stupid thing.

I probably could only tell you 3 Kpop songs, but I thought this movie was better than anything Disney/Pixar has produced in what feels like a decade. This definitely isn't my style of music, but I thought all the songs were bangers and worked perfectly for the movie.

Most amazing thing to me? Not a single "girl boss" eye roll moment in an entire movie about a group of Kpop girls who slay demons. It's amazing what kinds of stories we can get back to telling when you actually write great characters and tell a story showing real growth of character.

Sony Animation studios has surpassed Disney/Pixar for the time being.

My daughter's getting ready for tomorrow as if she's going to a concert.

This movie is a phenomenon.

• Most-watched animated film on Netflix: "KPop Demon Hunters" became the most-watched animated film of all time on Netflix, with over 180 million views. It even surpassed the viewing trajectory of "Red Notice", setting a new record for ANY film on Netflix. 7 straight weeks as Netflix's #1 streaming content is also a platform record.
• Billboard 200 chart success: The soundtrack held strong at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart for the week of August 16, scoring more than 3 billion global streams to date. It became the highest-charting soundtrack of 2025 and the highest-charting soundtrack to an animated film since "Encanto" in 2022.
• Billboard Hot 100 achievements: The soundtrack notably charted three songs in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, a feat not accomplished by many movie soundtracks. The film's lead single, "Golden", became the first song by a girl group to hit No. 1 on the chart since Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious" nearly 25 years ago.
• Spotify success: The song "Golden" has amassed over 350 million streams on Spotify alone.

And with the recent theatrical release, it is now eligible and a shoe in at the Oscars for nominations in Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.

Another interesting aspect of this movie, is apparently Sony spent $100m making KPop Demon Hunters and sold it to Netflix for a $20m profit. So now Netflix owns the rights for what is essentially a billion dollar, Frozen-esque animated property.

Just got back. It was a very enjoyable experience. Lot of audience participation, and clearly everyone in there had watched the movie multiple times already. It was like a concert with the singing a long. Good times.

I'm just always amazed at the sheer number of posters on ET threads about all the trash Marvel and Star Wars IP, everything on Disney+ and released in theaters, but then a movie like this has less than 30 posts about it.

This was similar to back when Blue Eye Samurai came out. Barely anyone on the ET board was talking about it and it was better than anything else that was released around the same time.

It's actually kinda surprising that there are this many posts about on Texags.Com about an animation about Korean girls fighting demons.

I printed some templates online to cover our cup noodles, just trying to appease my daughter. She made a YT video telling people they could get them at Kroger, and it started getting a ton of views. I had to take it down.
