[K-enter] "KPop Demon Hunters" makes history with a new record

And what a coincidence our first story is another success story on KPop Demon Hunters. What is it?

Soa, I have this song stuck in my head for weeks.

"KPop Demon Hunters" is definitely going 'up, up, up' as the movie set a new record as the most watched animated film on Netflix. On Wednesday, Netflix announced on social media that "KPop Demon Hunters" became the first work in Netflix movie history to hit the highest views in the fifth week of its release. Additionally, it is currently the most-watched content across both English and non-English movies and shows, emphasizing that it has become the most watched animated film on Netflix.

We also talked several times on our show about the explosive popularity of its soundtrack. Well, the songs by Huntrix and Saja Boys are still sweeping music charts both in Korea and the U.S, including on Spotify, Billboard, YouTube Music, and Melon.

Can't wait to talk more about their songs in our "Kulture Issue" segment.

Next up, this was a pleasant surprise. the 2025 APEC ambassador has been chosen? And it is
