Fans of KPop Demon Hunters are in for an electrifying treat: the animated phenomenon is hitting select theaters for a limited-time sing-along event on August 23–24. Following its staggering success on Netflix and the chart-topping success of its original song “Golden,” this immersive theatrical experience invites audiences to sing along, celebrate, and relive the music in a communal atmosphere.
A Streaming Sensation Breaks Into Theaters
Since debuting on June 20, 2025, KPop Demon Hunters has become Netflix’s most-watched animated original film and the second most-viewed English-language title on the platform, surpassing 180 million views.
Impressively, its soundtrack has become a cultural juggernaut, amassing over 3 billion global streams and reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
What to Expect at the Sing-Along Event
Dubbed KPop Demon Hunters: A Sing-Along Event, the limited theatrical screenings across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. promise an interactive musical spectacle. Tickets officially went on sale August 13 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET.
The event is also a celebration of “Golden,” the breakout electropop anthem performed by the fictional girl group HUNTR/X (voiced by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami). The song made history as the first K-pop girl group single to hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and the first animated film song to achieve that feat since Encanto.
Its catchy melody and soaring vocal range resonated widely, spanning from TikTok virality to American radio, further fueling the film’s cultural imprint. Fans can become part of the experience by joining others in theatres, belt out favorites like “How It’s Done,” “Your Idol,” and of course “Golden”, complete with on-screen lyrics and thrilling visuals.
