Lea Salonga thrilled to be part of Netflix animated hit ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters'
Tony Award-winning singer and actress Lea Salonga expressed her excitement over being part of the hit animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters, calling it a thrill to contribute even in a small role. In an interview with ABS-CBN's Yong Chavez on July 25, Salonga shared that she provided the singing voice for Celine, a former demon hunter who mentors a new generation of fighters in the movie. 'I sing one line, but it is one line I am so glad to have done because of how huge a hit [the film is],' Salonga said. A self-confessed BTS fan, Salonga gushed over the fact that members of the global K-pop group have watched the film and even sang songs from it. 'Does that mean I am now officially one degree away from BTS because of this movie? I mean, it's crazy,' she said. Salonga revealed that her involvement took only about an hour to record, with no clue at the time that the project would become a massive hit. 'I didn't know what was going to come of this. I am happy to have given an hour out of my life for what is now the biggest animated hit on Netflix,' she said. 'It's crazy. I'm so happy to have been a very, very small part of it.' Although she has yet to watch the full movie, Salonga said she is planning to make time, especially knowing BTS has seen it. Talking more about her admiration for the group, Salonga declared, 'I will follow BTS off a cliff,' recalling how she instantly became a fan after seeing member V in the music video for Dynamite. 'I try to endeavor to listen to music that is very different from mine, and I think that is why I like Right Place, Wrong Person as much as I do,' she added, referring to BTS member RM's recent solo album.

Kdrama & Chill: Demon Hunters: The Netflix Animated Musical YDK You Needed
My friend Kareena, relentlessly pestered me about this new Netflix original, KPop Demon Hunters. At first, I was really hesitant. As someone who's obsessed with Korean dramas, I've developed a bit of a prejudice against anything that's a Western take on K-Pop or Korean storytelling. I was worried it wouldn't have the same authenticity, the same vibe that makes K-Dramas so addictive. Plus, it's an American animated musical fantasy film that sounded, honestly, a bit out there. But Kareena was persistent, and then I started seeing the song Golden everywhere on TikTok, Instagram, and even in clips of famous Korean singers trying to hit those insane high notes. The song immediately caught my attention. Koreans are incredible with their original soundtracks and a killer song can make or break a drama. So, my curiosity won over my skepticism. I sat down to watch it. The story and the world of Huntr/x KPop Demon Hunters centres on Huntr/x, a K-Pop girl group with a secret: they're actually Demon Hunters. Rumi, Mira, and Zoey lead these double lives under the guidance of Celine, a former hunter who raised Rumi. Their mission? To maintain and strengthen the magical barrier called Honmoon, created centuries ago by three legendary women to seal demons away from the human world. This barrier is powered by their singing, passed down from generation to generation, with the ultimate goal to form the Golden Honmoon, a final seal to banish demons forever. But, it's not just Huntr/x fighting the supernatural. The rival boy band, the Saja Boys, are secretly demons themselves, making the battle as much about music, dance, and pop culture as it is about good versus evil. The premise is fascinating, and it blends K-Pop culture with fantasy lore in a way I hadn't seen before. It's a musical, an action-packed drama, and a pop culture commentary all rolled into one. What worked and what felt a bit rushed Overall, I'd give the series an A. The animation is vibrant and slick, and the choreography of the performances is spot-on. The music, honestly, was the highlight. Golden alone is worth the watch, a powerful anthem with soaring vocals and catchy beats that stuck with me long after I finished the show. One of my favourite moments in Golden is Mira's line: 'Called a problem child 'cause I got too wild, but now that's how I'm getting paid.' It's such a sick line, rebellious yet empowering, and it perfectly captures the fierce energy of the whole series. I found myself hitting rewind just to soak it in again. That said, the storyline felt a little rushed in places. The pacing was quick, especially around the world tour and Rumi losing her voice. It felt like the plot jumped from one major event to another without giving enough breathing room for character development or emotional weight. But, maybe that's the trade-off when you try to pack a whole saga into a limited runtime. Another interesting note, the speaking voices and the singing voices were done by different people. While the singing was amazing, sometimes the mismatch between the character's speaking voice and singing voice felt a bit off-putting. It wasn't a dealbreaker for me, but definitely noticeable if you pay attention. EXO vibes and K-Pop easter eggs As a massive EXO fan, the Saja Boys instantly gave me strong EXO vibes. From their style and dance moves to their vocals, it felt like a respectful nod to one of the biggest K-pop boy bands out there. You can tell the creators really know their K-Pop, and the influences are clear, not just EXO, but other iconic groups too. Supplied: Netflix, Saja Boys If you love EXO or K-pop in general, you'll appreciate the details, from the slick choreography to the stylised performances. Honestly, that was the part that sold me. Put EXO energy on something, and I'm hooked. Supplied: SM Entertainment, EXO My Top Three Songs Golden – The powerhouse anthem that sets the tone for the entire show. Your Idol – Performed by the Saja Boys, this track is catchy, polished, and full of that boy-band charm. Take Down – A high-energy song that blends pop beats with the story's intense moments. All the tracks have that unmistakable K-Pop polish, making the soundtrack a treat on its own. So, should you watch it? If you're a K-Drama purist, KPop Demon Hunters might feel a little different, more Americanized in style and tone. But if you're open to a fresh take on K-Pop culture wrapped in a fantasy narrative, this animated musical is a fun, vibrant watch. The music alone makes it worth your time. Plus, it's cool to see K-Pop culture crossing borders and inspiring new stories, even if they come from unexpected places. I'm glad I gave it a chance, and thanks, Kareena, for not letting me miss out. So, if you want something a little different but still packed with catchy tunes, sharp choreography, and a bit of supernatural drama, KPop Demon Hunters might just be your next binge. 8/10.
