Last Updated: Huntrix, the fictional K-pop girl group from the Netflix animated film KPop Demon Hunters, scored 656 Perfect All-Kills. Guess who's ruling the K-pop chart these days? Not BTS or BLACKPINK, but the fictional girl group HUNTR/X (Huntrix) from Netflix's hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the film's storyline and its soundtrack, including songs like Golden, Soda Pop and Your Idol, quickly became a fan favourite upon its release. The tracks have become such a global phenomenon that they have shattered records previously held by K-pop bigwigs like BTS and NewJeans. Since the release of KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix on June 20, the trio of Huntrix, Rumi, Zoey and Mira has taken over the global playlists. As reported by Pinkvilla, their catchy hit Golden, originally performed by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, has now surpassed the record previously held by the popular K-pop girl group NewJeans. On Monday, August 11, at 10 AM KST, the song scored 656 Perfect All-Kills (PAKs), overtaking NewJeans' 2022 hit Ditto, which has the most number of hourly PAKs. If all goes well and in favour of the fictional K-pop girl group, there is a possibility that Golden might surpass the 700 PAK mark pretty soon.

As Huntrix rise to popularity, they face off against a rival boy band, called the Saja Boys, who are secretly demons. KPop Demon Hunters has garnered praise from both the audience and critics for its animation, voice acting, story, emotional weight, and music. = First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
