Netflix and Sony\u2019s animated phenomenon K-Pop Demon Hunters is shaping up to be the entertainment story of the summer. Two months after its June 20 release, the film is not only dominating Netflix\u2019s global charts but also sparking an unprecedented wave of cross-industry collaborations that underscore its cultural footprint. Now, in a true sign that the film has crossed into the mainstream, it has secured its first instant noodles deal.<\/p>\n

Korean food giant Nongshim has announced a lineup of limited-edition products featuring the film\u2019s characters, including Shin Ramyun, Shrimp Crackers, and a newly launched Shin Ramyun Tumba All-Purpose Sauce. Special-edition cup noodles modeled after those slurped onscreen by Rumi, Mira, and Zoey will also hit shelves across Korea, North America, Europe, Oceania, and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

The frenzy isn\u2019t just about merchandising; it\u2019s tied to the film\u2019s record-breaking momentum on Netflix. With 210.5 million<\/a> views to date, KPDH has defied the streamer\u2019s usual trajectory, climbing in popularity well after its debut and sustaining roughly 26 million views per week for the past five weeks. The performance has pushed the title back to No. 1 on Netflix\u2019s global Top 10, and it\u2019s now all but certain to surpass Red Notice as the platform\u2019s most-watched original film ever this week. Crucially, it still has a month left in Netflix\u2019s 91-day record window, giving it time to build an even bigger lead.<\/p>\n

Between its original soundtrack featuring artists like EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and members of TWICE, its global fandom, and now its push into consumer products, K-Pop Demon Hunters has outgrown a possible status as a flash-in-the-pan Netflix release and crossed into full-fledged franchise territory. With sequels and a short film already in early development, the real story may be just beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix and Sony\u2019s animated phenomenon K-Pop Demon Hunters is shaping up to be the entertainment story of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":["post-87328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
