KPOP DEMON HUNTERS: Sing-A-Long Version Now Available on Netflix
Yesterday, a dear friend sent us a video of her five-year-old little bean singing and dancing to the opening scene of KPop Demon Hunters. It. Was. Adorable. She didn't have all the words down right (not even the Korean, Andrew?), but she was doing dance moves, lifting one leg and leaning forward to mimic when the girls jumped out of the wrecked plane, and doing the fit check for her Napalm Era. The bean is obsessed with this movie.
When news came along that Netflix was releasing their Sing-A-Long version in theaters this past weekend, we immediately passed that info on to them, but maybe my friend judged that it would be too much for the bean.
But good news, everyone! As of midnight last night, Netflix dropped the Sing-A-Long version on their service so you can watch and host your own parties at home. If we socialized at all, we would be totally up for this, as we had already made up our minds that going to a theater and participating in the formal event during the weekend was not our cup of tea.
From the announcement in Variety yesterday.
Netflix phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters is getting its streaming sing-along version.Dropping on the streaming platform tonight at midnight PT, Netflix announced the news on social media with the caption: “FOR THE FANS!”News of the sing-along edition moving to streaming comes after its one-weekend-only screening event in theaters, which logged an estimated $18M two-day opening, per industry sources reported by Deadline, topping horror hit Weapons to become the platform’s first box office win.A particular driver for the movie’s success is its resonance among kids and earworm tracks, with the KPop Demon Hunters (Soundtrack from the Netflix Film) holding strong at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart for the week of Aug. 16 — scoring more than 3 billion global streams to date. The album also topped charts on Spotify, with the movie’s fictional boy band’s song “Your Idol” surpassing real K-pop sensation BTS’ “Dynamite.” (Just several days ago, Andy Samberg told Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest host Tiffany Haddish he is more obsessed with the movie than his eight-year-old daughter.)
