K-pop Demon Hunters Is Breaking the Internet_You Won't Believe How This Korean Anime Is Outselling BTS
When K-pop Meets Demons and OTT Total Madness! Imagine if your favorite K-pop idols were secretly battling demons after their concerts. Sounds wild, right? That's exactly what's happening in the new animated film, K-pop Demon Hunters . Released on June 20, this action-packed fantasy is about three superstar idols-Rumi, Mira, and Joy-who double as heroic demon hunters when they're not slaying it on stage. The twist? Their main rivals are a supernatural boy group called Lion Boys, who look like they just walked out of a viral TikTok dance challenge. This isn't just another run-of-the-mill anime. The creators mashed up K-pop, occult themes, and classic Korean culture-think hanbok, shaman rituals, and even the iconic Namsan Tower. It's like if Dhoom met BTS , but with more glitter and ghosts. Global Domination-Not Just in Korea! by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now K-pop Demon Hunters didn't get much hype when it was first announced back in 2021. But after its release, it exploded-especially outside Korea. According to streaming tracker FlixPatrol, the film has held the #1 spot on Netflix's global movie chart for over a week, topping the rankings in 26 countries, including Brazil, France, Czech Republic, Taiwan, and Vietnam. That's the kind of overnight success most Bollywood blockbusters only dream of. What's making everyone binge-watch? The insane visuals, addictive soundtrack, and characters that look like they could headline KCON. People are even forming fandoms for the fictional girl group Huntrix and their rival boy group Lion Boys. It's like the ARMY vs. BLINKs, but in an alternate universe. The Music Is So Good, It's Outselling Real K-pop Groups Here's where it gets even crazier. The OST (original soundtrack) for K-pop Demon Hunters is smashing records. With tracks produced by Teddy (the genius behind BLACKPINK's hits) and performances by TWICE members Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung, the music is charting on global platforms. The main song, "TAKETOWN," sounds so legit, you'd think it was a comeback single. The OST album hit #1 on the US iTunes Album Chart, and several songs entered the Top 100 Song Chart. On Spotify US, the Lion Boys' "Your Idol" reached #5 and Huntrix's "Golden" hit #8. Other tracks like "How It's Done" and "Soda Pop" are also climbing. For a fictional group to rank this high-right after BTS-is unheard of. Imagine a Bollywood movie song going viral on Spotify India and then suddenly trending in the US. That's the level of global crossover we're talking about. K-pop, Culture, and That Indian Connect What really sets K-pop Demon Hunters apart is how it weaves Korean culture into every frame. From traditional accessories to mystical folklore, it's a visual treat that feels both fresh and familiar. Think of it like watching a South Korean version of Bahubali, but with more sass and stage lights. And honestly, Indian youth get it. We know what it's like to worship our pop idols, binge-watch dramas, and obsess over every new music drop. The way K-pop Demon Hunters is building new fandoms and breaking the internet? It's the same energy you see when a new Shah Rukh Khan movie drops or when a viral dance trend takes over Instagram reels. This film is proof that when you mix music, fantasy, and a bit of cultural magic, you can create something that connects with fans across continents. Who knows, maybe the next big crossover will be a K-pop x Bollywood demon-hunting squad! Reporter's note: Watching K-pop Demon Hunters blow up worldwide feels like seeing your favorite underdog finally win the trophy. For anyone who's ever stanned a group, danced in front of the mirror, or dreamed of a world where idols are superheroes-this one's for you.

NDTV Exclusive: Metro...In Dino Star Ali Fazal On His Favourite Couple From The Original Film And On-Set Memories
New Delhi: What is love? Ali Fazal finds himself in a spot right when the conversation begins with this question, because Dino offers to address one of the most complex of emotions. "First question, and I'm in sort of a pickle. Jokes apart, it (love) is so many things. But most of all, it is assistance and the belief that keeps it going," the actor tells NDTV. Today, the most common complaint by a section of cinegoers is how romantic films have become an extinct species. However, with Dino, Anurag Basu attempts to bring back the same charm of his 2007 musical Life In with new relationships under microscope set against the backdrop of the ever-bustling Mumbai. Poster Ali Fazal stars in the role of a vulnerable and dreamy musician named Akash in Anurag Basu's Dino. The actor is paired opposite Fatima Sana Shaikh in the movie, set to be released on Friday (July 4, 2025). In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, the actor talks about the Bollywood films he draws inspiration from for his characters, his favourite pair from the original film Life In and much more. "I Am An Absolute Admirer Of Dilip Kumar" With timeless classics such as Devdas and Mughal-E-Azam to his credit, a cinema lover can never not be in love with Dilip Kumar in his lover-boy era. Ali Fazal is no different. The actor talks about the reel-life heroes he looks up to, irrespective of the genre of the film. He says, "I am an absolute admirer of Dilip Kumar, who had managed to pull off all kinds of cinema. Then there was Raj Kapoor and Kishore Kumar's comedy. There's Hulchul and Chupke Chupke. But we have just stopped making good comedy films." Metro And Un Dino Considering Dino is the follow-up to the 2007 film Life In comparisons are but natural. Ali Fazal says the cast and crew used to have conversations about how the first Metro film and the latest Dino were different. He recalls, "Basu Da would always say, now and then, how a particular sequence reminded him of the first part. Also, (film's music composer) Pritam and the whole band who were seen in the (first) film, it kind of became a signature element, as they are very much a character in this entire saga." "The way it was filmed back then and now is very different. So those are kind of the conversations we would have about part one. Irrfan Khan was, of course, missed, lots of people who are not a part of this one, even on the crew. It was special." As for choosing his favourite couple from the first part, the actor says, "It has to be Konkona and Irrfan. Something interesting happened there." A still from the film Shruti (Konkona) and Monty's (Irrfan) pairing is remembered till today because it was a quintessential example of opposites-attract. Their chemistry was devoid of cliches and thus was portrayed as an authentic and relatable union. Konkona Sen Sharma is also the only returning cast member in Dino from the original film. "As for this film, I am very excited to see how the stories of every couple pan out," he adds. "Basu Da Is A Master Here" Filmmaker Anurag Basu possesses the art of effortlessly blending music with storytelling. Ali Fazal says, "Basu Da is known for projecting varied emotions and in different kinds of films. I think he is a master of his art. And then music that binds everything together, he's also done the same thing this time from that thread." Speaking of the most hard-hitting scenes from the film, he says, "One of the most consuming scenes, maybe, is the rain sequence that's often referenced in the trailer. That was a hectic day." "It's a scene where I'm sitting, I'm drunk, by some tapri (tea stall) by the roadside. But I also believe, it is one of the most cinematic moments in the film. You'll know when you see it." Speaking of carrying traits of his on-screen character into real life, Ali Fazal says there's not much similarity between him and his Dino's character. He says, "I'm just a little funnier than this guy. I think I have a bit of a sense of humour. You'll see."
