The sing-along version of KPop Demon Hunters is all set for an official release on Netflix. It will drop on the popular video streaming platform on Monday (August 25, 2025). The release of the full-length, sing-along version of the film comes after a one-weekend-only, limited-screening event that took place on August 23 and August 24, 2025, according to Netflix.

The event featured more than 1,000 sold-out screenings in theaters across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. The film grossed $18 million to $20 million at the US box office over the August 22 to 24 weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter. As part of the festivities, Arden Cho, May Hong, Ken Jeong, vocalists REI AMI and Kevin Woo, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, and producer Michelle L.M. Wong surprised fans in theaters in New York and Los Angeles, Netflix said in a statement. KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along will stream globally on Netflix.

Produced in partnership with Sony Pictures Animation, KPop Demon Hunters is directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. The script is by Danya Jimenez, Hannah McMechan, Kang, and Appelhans. In addition to Cho, Hong, and Ji-young Yoo, the voice ensemble includes Ahn Hyo-seop, Yunjin Kim, Joel Kim Booster, Liza Koshy, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, and Byung Hun Lee.


The film is currently ranked second among Netflix’s most popular English-language films, with more than 180 million views, and has become Netflix’s most-watched animated film of all time.

Earlier in August 2025, director Kang said that Netflix's K-pop fantasy hit "KPop Demon Hunters," which is on course to be its most-watched original film, is an attempt to tell a universal story about shame and acceptance, according to news agency AFP.

The film about a K-pop girl group descended from demon slayers is Netflix's most popular animated film to date and ranks as the platform's second most-watched movie overall. Numbers from its soundtrack are also dominating Billboard's Streaming Songs chart.

"KPop Demon Hunters" was launched in June and follows the critical success of other works exploring Korean culture and experiences, such as "Parasite," "Squid Game," and "Pachinko." It revolves around group member Rumi, who feels pressured to hide her secret dual identity as her group battles a boy-band rival made up of demons.
