By Suh Jung-min, culture and sports editor Back when “KPop Demon Hunters” premiered without fanfare on Netflix, how many people could have predicted the kind of phenomenon it would become? Netflix did little in the way of promotion or marketing when it debuted the film on June 20.

Now, after a drought of 28 years, a soundtrack has generated three Hot 100 top 10s once again: Netflix’s animated KPop Demon Hunters. The set slays with HUNTR/X ’s “Golden,” which hit No. 1 on the Aug. 16 chart, and Saja Boys ’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop.”

KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack logs a milestone third top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart with 'Soda Pop' climbing to No. 10.

That journey has been a quick ride to the top. The PG-rated animated film about a K-pop girl group that uses songs and swords to save the world hit Netflix June 20 and almost immediately soared to the streamer's Top 10.

In the climax of KPop Demon Hunters, Jinu's demise occurs as he sacrifices himself to save Rumi. Nevertheless, a fresh fan theory suggests that another character perished because of Gwi Ma, altering the trajectory of the Netflix animated series.
