Scam Alert: Notorious Cybercriminals Unleash 'Golden' Charade, Netting Innocent Victims - "Gold," the Netflix film, swept charts as the top summer movie of 2025
In the realm of pop culture, the animated film KPop Demon Hunters and its accompanying soundtrack have taken the world by storm. The film follows a K-pop girl group named Huntr/x, who double as demon hunters, and their journey to strengthen the Honmoon, a magical barrier that protects humanity from demons.
The film's lead character, Rumi, grapples with her half-demon heritage, which causes her to lose her voice. Celine, a former hunter who raised Rumi, reveals that turning the Honmoon gold would erase Rumi's demon marks, setting the stage for an emotional and thrilling narrative.
One of the standout tracks from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is "Golden", a bilingual song in English and Korean that has become a summer hit in Germany. The catchy melody and easy-to-sing-along lyrics have made it a favourite among fans, with countless TikTok users imitating the film's choreography.
The song's success in Germany is noteworthy, as it comes from relatively unknown interpreters. Despite this, "Golden" has been streamed nearly 30 million times in the country and has topped the official German charts for weeks. It has also reached number one in the charts in several countries, including the USA, UK, and Sweden.
Interestingly, "Golden" is the first international track in four years to be crowned summer hit in Germany. This achievement, coupled with the film's success, has led some to dub KPop Demon Hunters as the pop culture surprise of the year.
The film itself has made a significant impact, reaching the first place in the weekly top 10 Netflix charts in 51 countries. Its popularity has been such that it has briefly led the album charts in Germany, making it one of the most popular animated films in the history of Netflix.
As KPop Demon Hunters continues to captivate audiences worldwide, "Golden" remains a testament to the power of music and storytelling in transcending cultural boundaries. Whether you're a fan of K-pop, animation, or just a good story, this film and its soundtrack are definitely worth a listen.
