A New Kind of Idol: The Demon-Slaying Stars of Netflix’s Biggest Film

The world has fallen in love with a new kind of idol: the demon-slaying pop stars of “KPop Demon Hunters.” The animated members of the fictional group Huntr/x are the heroes of Netflix’s new biggest film, which has captivated 236 million households.
Unlike traditional movie stars, these animated idols have won over audiences with their unique combination of musical talent and supernatural combat skills. Their story of leading a double life has proven to be more compelling to viewers than many of Hollywood’s biggest live-action offerings.
The success of these fictional characters has been so immense that they have crossed over into the real world, with the film’s soundtrack becoming a chart-topping sensation. The members of Huntr/x are now household names, despite being entirely animated.
As the new faces of Netflix’s most successful franchise, these demon-slaying idols have redefined what it means to be a star in the 21st century. With a sequel confirmed, their star power is only set to grow.
