The global popularity of the Netflix animated film ″K-Pop Demon Hunters″ continues to create a significant buzz. It has been trending on Google, reflecting a strong public interest and search volume. As of the 9th, ″K-Pop Demon Hunters″ has garnered notable attention among US YouTube users in the arts and entertainment category over the past month, with interest levels peaking at over 50. Google Trends assigns a value of 100 to the most frequently searched terms, indicating the film’s rising prominence.

Since its release on June 20th, ″K-Pop Demon Hunters″ has gained traction largely through word of mouth, particularly in early July. From the 25th of last month to early August, it remained a hot topic, with interest levels consistently hovering around 90-100. This trend highlights the film’s rapidly growing fanbase.

The original soundtrack (OST) has also contributed to this phenomenon, giving rise to the ″Golden Challenge.″ According to the UK Official Singles Chart ″Top 100″ on the 8th, ″Golden,″ performed by the virtual girl group Huntrix from ″Kedehone,″ reached number two, marking three top 10 OST hits.

Although ″Golden″ lost its top position this week to American singer-songwriter Chaplin Ron’s ″The Subway,″ it has maintained a strong presence in the charts. It has spent seven consecutive weeks on the UK Official Singles Chart, starting at number 93 and climbing to number 31, 20, 9, and 4 before reaching number one last week. The lyrics, ″We’re goin’ up, up, up, it’s our moment,″ signify a historic achievement as this is the first K-pop song to top the chart since Psy’s ″Gangnam Style″ in 2012.

In addition, ″Soda Pop,″ performed by the boy group Saja Boys, rivals of Huntrix in the film, ranked 6th, while ″Your Idol″ secured the 8th spot. Girl group Twice also made their mark with ″Take Down″ from the ″Kedehun″ OST at 47th and ″Strategy,″ featured in the same film, at 64th.

Rosé’s global hit ″APT.″ rose five spots to 39th, maintaining its presence for 42 consecutive weeks. Additionally, ″Gabriela″ by HYBE and Geffen Records’ global girl group KATSEYE re-entered the singles chart this week at 97th, totaling five weeks on the chart.
