A year ago today, three fictional members of a girl group called HUNTR\/X stepped onto an animated stage and changed what a Netflix original film could become. KPop Demon Hunters premiered on June 20, 2025. Twelve months later, it has not left the Netflix Global Top 10 chart for a single week \u2014 a 52-week streak that has never been matched by any title in the platform’s history.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s single most-watched day came on August 16, nearly two months after its premiere \u2014 an unusual pattern for a Netflix original, which typically peaks in its first two weeks before declining, per What\u2019s on Netflix<\/a>.

The line between fictional and real K-pop blurred further in May this year, when Netflix and AEG Presents announced a global concert tour <\/a>featuring real-life performers as HUNTR\/X. <\/p>\n
