KPop Demon Hunters just reached another golden milestone.

Netflix announced on its social media on Tuesday (July 29) that the film is officially the streamer’s most-watched original animated film of all time since making its debut on June 20.

According to data from What’s On Netflix, KPop Demon Hunters the film has reached roughly 132.4 million total views where it has remained within the top 10 on the platform.

The record for most-watched animated Netflix original was formerly held by Leo, a 2023 animated feature starring Adam Sandler.

KPop Demon Hunters tells the story of the fictional girl group Huntr/x, made up of members Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who balance their double lives as K-Pop idols by night and demon hunters by day, defending their fans from supernatural threats.

The Saja Boys, who are the group’s adversaries, appear to be just another popular boy band burning up the charts, but are secretly demons themselves.

The K-Pop-inspired film is also taking over the music charts, with nine songs from the soundtrack making appearances on the Billboard Hot 100.

Huntr/x’s “Golden” (performed by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami) reached a new peak at No. 2. The Saja Boys cut “Your Idol,” (performed by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, and Samuil Lee) climbed to No. 12, according to Billboard.

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is available for pre-order at Complex in a variety of formats—including standard black vinyl, double-sided picture disc vinyl, and CD.
