The cast and crew of Kpop Demon Hunters marked the film's first anniversary with a heartfelt celebration. From Ejae's vocals to Ahn Hyo-seop's charm, every voice behind the characters showed up to thank fans for an extraordinary year. The film has completed 365 days since its release, and the gratitude on display said more than any press note ever could. The tribute arrived wrapped in nostalgia and numbers, hinting at just how far this story has traveled.

While millions still hum 'Golden' on loop, the cast decided actions speak louder, lining up selfie videos to thank the fandom that made history.

Ahn Hyo-seop, Ejae, and the wider KPop Demon Hunters ensemble took over Netflix's social pages with a montage built entirely on gratitude. Selfie-style clips stitched the cast together, each one thanking fans for a record-breaking year.

"Hey everyone! Can you believe it? It has already been a year since KPop Demon Hunters was released," Arden Cho said, opening the tribute on a nostalgic note.

Ahn Hyo-seop followed with pure excitement, exclaiming, "A happy first anniversary! Woohoo!"

Ji-young Yoo chimed in next with gratitude, adding, "Thank you for loving this film, for listening to the songs over and over again."

The film first premiered on Netflix on June 20, 2025, and grew from a curious concept into a cultural mainstay within weeks. Built around K-pop idols secretly battling demons, the story turned songs like 'Golden' and 'Soda Pop' into anthems that refused to fade. Awards season only added to the glow, with two Oscars and a Golden Globe sweep cementing its legacy. A year on, the anniversary tribute on Netflix's X page felt less like marketing and more like a genuine reunion.

While the awards added shine, the real flex still lives in the numbers Netflix keeps revealing.

Kpop Demon Hunters has spent 52 consecutive weeks inside Netflix's Global Top 10, an unbroken streak no other original film has managed. The movie has crossed over 1 billion viewing hours and more than 639 million completed views worldwide. It currently ranks as the most popular original film in Netflix history, ahead of titles like Red Notice and Carry-On. The soundtrack has matched that pace, surpassing 15 billion streams across platforms.

Sony's decision to hand the film to Netflix, once questioned, now reads like a masterstroke that paid off in record time. Chairman Tom Rothman called the move a perfect fit, letting the movie grow through word of mouth rather than a single opening weekend. With a sequel already confirmed and merchandise lining shelves worldwide, the celebration feels earned rather than premature. From Ejae to Hyo-seop, the entire cast and crew have every reason to celebrate a genuinely massive year.
