K-Pop Demon Hunters' Cast Reveals How They Reacted To BTS' Shout-Out
Last Updated: KPop Demon Hunters has broken several records, including becoming Netflix's biggest animated original feature ever and the second most-streamed English original movie of all time. Netflix's K-pop Demon Hunters has become a global phenomenon. Released on the streaming platform on June 20, the animated musical has broken several records, including becoming Netflix's biggest animated original feature ever and the second most-streamed English original movie of all time. And that's not all, Golden, one of the songs in the film's soundtrack, made history on the Billboard Hot 100 chart by becoming the first K-pop girl group song, although fictional, to top the chart. Now, Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji Young Yoo, the stars behind the voices of the demon-hunting K-pop girl group HUNTR/X (Huntrix), are sharing their experience on receiving unexpected love and admiration from all over the world. The actresses sat down for an interview with Gold Derby and discussed the possibility of receiving awards and recognition from popular K-pop artists like BTS. For Arden, who plays Rumi, the lead vocalist of Huntrix, the possibility of getting an Oscar feels surreal. She said, 'It would be such an honour. We feel so lucky just to be here and to be receiving all this love. It's amazing to be part of a movie that makes everybody feel good." May Hong, who voiced Mira, shared that she couldn't 'wrap" her head around the fact that their film is contending for Oscars. Ji Young Yoo, who was the voice behind Zoey, the maknae of Huntrix, agreed to what May said and added, 'I think the fact that we went from making a movie that I think we all really loved and cared about to it developing into this phenomenon worldwide, to what is quickly becoming an Oscar and awards run…I'm just along for the ride, and I'll process it all after." KPop Demon Hunters not only received positive reactions from the viewers but also got a seal of approval from real-life K-pop artists. From BTS to Seventeen, some of the industry's biggest names have praised the film and its authenticity. When asked how they reacted after watching famous personalities embracing their film, the actresses shared that it was a 'we did it" moment. Arden mentioned, 'That stamp of approval! We're like… Yes, we did it! I think we're just so thankful because all of these idols and artists who are loving the movie have really helped us get here." May Hong added, 'When I see that they all have millions and millions of followers, I also can't wrap my mind around that they're so into what we have done. Obviously, we didn't sing or dance personally, but still. Even with Lee Byung Hun [the Squid Game actor who voiced Gwi Ma, the king of demons in KPop Demon Hunters], it's like, so that person knows I exist?" Sharing that they were initially worried about whether the audience would accept the depiction of Korea in the film, Young Yoo quipped, 'We wanted to make sure we got Korea right, that we got the culture right. All of us were like, 'Will they approve? Will they accept it?' So to see them not just accept it but embrace it, and support it, and give us so much love, is just the biggest sigh of relief. " She further added, 'The warmth that spread through our bodies when all of this started happening was really just wonderful, and as an ARMY for 10 years, going on 11 now, there's no words. I felt my organs shut down (when BTS mentioned the film)." Arden explained that the moment was unforgettable. 'All of our phones were blowing up. Everyone was like, 'Did you see it?'" she revealed. Meanwhile, Ji Young Yoo candidly mentioned, 'Everyone kept asking me what I thought, and there's no thoughts. I thought I might faint." A sing-along theatrical version of KPop Demon Hunters is set ot be released on August 23 and 24. view comments First Published: August 16, 2025, 11:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

The actor called the film 'special" and stated that he is 'missing" the entire team, including Rashmika. '7 years. Special film for all of us❤️ And is so much fun even as the years pass. Missing the entire team," Vijay wrote, as he tagged Rashmika and others. 7 film for all of us❤️And is so much fun even as the years pass.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashmika Mandanna (@rashmika_mandanna) Even though Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have been rumoured to be dating each other for a long time now, they have never confirmed or denied their relationship. However, earlier this year, Vijay Deverakonda shared why he consciously guards his private world even after previously admitting he's in a relationship. 'I've always felt like it's a strange split, you want to be an actor and be known by the world, but you also want to remain anonymous. It's some kind of psychotic dichotomy," he told The Hollywood Reporter India. The actor went on to say that if he could create a fictional version of himself and keep his real identity hidden, he would. 'I used to tell people that if I could wear a mask that didn't look like me, and that guy could be the star while I still got to act, I'd be happy. Because for me, Vijay Deverakonda the actor, I operate for him," he explained. Meanwhile, on the work front, Rashmika was last seen in Sikandar opposite Salman Khan. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film is now streaming on Netflix. On the other hand, Vijay Deverakonda was recently seen in Kingdom, a spy thriller helmed by Jersey director Gowtam Tinnanuri.
