Plot summary

For generations, three singers have held demons back, their voices maintaining a magical barrier called the Honmoon, and the aim is to strengthen it into a Golden Honmoon that seals the demons away for good. The latest trio is a K-pop girl group, Huntrix: Rumi, Mira and Zoey, who fight demons between performances. Rumi guards a secret known only to Celine, the former hunter who raised her, and as she rushes out a new single, Golden, and prepares to perform it live, her voice begins to fail. In the demon world, Gwi-Ma sends five of his minions, led by Jinu, to form a boy band, the Saja Boys, whose popularity can weaken the barrier.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

An internet challenge recreating the ramyun that Rumi, Zoey and Mira eat while singing "How It's Done" caused severe burns and hospitalizations among fans, prompting doctors to warn against eating instant noodles in extremely hot water.
Four songs from the soundtrack, "Golden", "Your Idol", "Soda Pop" and "How It's Done", were in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten at the same time, the first soundtrack in the chart's history to do so.
"Golden" became the first K-pop song to win either a Grammy Award or an Academy Award, taking Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 68th Grammys as well as Best OST at the 2025 Melon Music Awards and MAMA Awards.
The film's sing-along theatrical run opened in 1,700 theaters, beating the 698-theater release of Netflix's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), and it became the first Netflix film to finish a weekend in first place.
Park Jin-young was initially envisioned as the voice of the demon ruler Gwi-Ma, back when the character was to be flamboyant and comedic; the part went to Lee Byung-hun after Gwi-Ma was reworked into a menacing figure.
Ejae came onto the film as a songwriter before being offered the role of Rumi's singing voice, a casting she attributed to the directors getting used to hearing her voice in the demos.
Fight scenes were animated with glitter effects inspired by the South Korean film The Villainess (2017), a choice animation director Beveridge said gave the action a dance-fighting feel.
