From fiction, to reality…
Sony‘s hit movie KPop Demon Hunters is stepping out of fiction and into reality, thanks to its fictional K-Pop groups, HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys.
KPop Demon Hunters follows a trio of female idols who sing by day and slay demons by night. When a new threat arises (demons disguised as a rival boy group, the Saja Boys), HUNTR/X’s Rumi is forced to confront her own personal demons.
Much of the film’s success stems from its soundtrack, which features “Golden” (HUNTR/X, EJAE, Audrey Nina, and Rei Ami), “Your Idol” (Saja Boys, Andre Choi, Neckway, Danny Chung, U-KISS‘s Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee).
Now, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys have officially joined real-life K-Pop stars by debuting on Billboard‘s Hot 100 music chart for the week of July 5. “Your Idol” currently holds the 77th spot, but “Golden” isn’t far behind at #81.
Both songs have surpassed BTS J-Hope‘s single “Killin’ It Girl,” which sits at #90, dropping down from #40 in its second week on the chart.
“Your Idol” and “Golden” have also surpassed KATSEYE‘s “Gabriela,” which debuted this week at #94, and “Gnarly,” which has now been on the chart for four weeks.
Which K-Pop artist is leading the chart? BLACKPINK‘s Rosé is charting at #28 with “APT.” Her collaboration with Bruno Mars has been on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 36 weeks.
