Netflix's animated action-fantasyK-Pop Demon Hunters was already a global success story in its opening weekend, hitting No. 1 in over 20 countries, including the U.S., South Korea, and Mexico. But its soundtrack? That's a whole other phenomenon. K-pop fans in Korea and across the globe have been streaming the movie's music on repeat, turning fictional idol groups into digital chart-toppers.
With production credits from Teddy Park (BLACKPINK, 2NE1) and composer Marcelo Zarvos, the OST blends glossy K-pop hooks with cinematic punch. It's a fictional soundtrack with real-world streaming power. And the numbers don't lie.
Here are the five songs from K-Pop Demon Hunters that are dominating Spotify Korea and beyond:
1. "Golden" – HUNTR/X
With more than 2.1 million global streams, this fierce power track is the clear fan favorite. Sung by fictional girl group HUNTR/X (featuring vocals from EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami), it captures the film's high-energy transformation scene and delivers a chorus built for stadiums—and TikTok edits.

2. "How It's Done" – HUNTR/X
Right behind is this swagger-packed anthem, with over 2 million streams. It's Rumi's signature comeback track, fusing trap beats with slick vocals. Think LE SSERAFIM meets Taemin. It's confident, bold, and surprisingly emotional under the surface.

3. "Your Idol" – Saja Boys
The dark side of K-pop never sounded so good. Performed by the demon boy band Saja Boys, this villain track has already passed 1.8 million plays. It's creepy, hypnotic, and catchy as hell. Some fans are even calling for a real debut from the group.

4. "Free" – Rumi & Jinu (HUNTR/X)
A softer, introspective duet that has struck a chord with fans—1.7 million streams and rising. The chemistry between Rumi and Jinu in this emotional ballad is undeniable, making it the perfect contrast to the film's louder moments.

5. "Soda Pop" – Saja Boys
Don't let the sugary name fool you. This track is slick, subversive, and incredibly replayable. Sitting at 1.6 million+ plays, it's a fan favorite thanks to its bouncy beat and cheeky lyrics that play into idol fantasy-gone-wrong themes.
