"It's the most popular movie ever on Netflix and features a chart-topping soundtrack too. This week, the single "Golden" by the film's fictional girl group Huntr/x sits atop the real-life Billboard Hot 100 for the seventh consecutive week, and for the three talented vocalists behind the film's demon-battling pop stars, it's a "golden" opportunity to honor their Korean culture. "Golden's a great song about hope but it also has lyrics in Korean in the hook," lead singer EJAE, the singing voice of Rumi, told On The Red Carpet."
"Three months after its initial release the movie is still number one on Netflix and a singalong version released in theaters became Netflix's first-ever number one film at the box office. "I think for me, when I was in the singalong," EJAE told On The Red Carpet, "Seeing all kids, not just Koreans, (but) non-Koreans, all races, all genders, all ages, singing the words of Korean lyrics, together was so iconic.""
