"Netflix has now confirmed the film is its most viewed of all time in any genre, overtaking its 2021 action movie Red Notice, which featured the Hollywood sparkle of the A-listers Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot. KPop Demon Hunters has now had more than 236m views. It has also broken records at cinema box offices and in the music charts over recent weeks, defying concerns that original, animated movies were losing their lustre."
"The film follows the story of Huntr/x, a group of three girls Rumi, Mira and Zoey. They have to juggle their stardom with their secret status as demon hunters, which comes with the weighty responsibility of protecting the world. If that wasn't enough to clog up their diaries, they also have to battle against a rival band, Saja Boys, whose members are secretly yes demons."
