KPop Demon Hunters’ fictional music group breaks into the Billboard Hot 100 charts

If you need any proof that K-pop is a sensation around the world and not just in Korea, all you have to do is take a look at the Billboard Hot 100 charts, which document the current most popular songs in the United States.

Right now, the chart is hosting a song by a K-pop band that is not even real, as the group Huntr/x from the Netflix animated movie KPop Demon Hunters has made its way up the chart, to 80th place on this list. Yes, a fictional music group has performed better than big stars like Ed Sheeran.

Specifically, the group’s song Golden made the cut, ranking as high as global sensation Blackpink has ever managed to reach. This clearly proves that k-pop is popular and also that the film is a big hit and worth watching, something we can confirm in our special review.
