On what date did KPop Demon Hunters begin streaming on Netflix?

KPop Demon Hunters began streaming on Netflix on June 20, 2025.

The animated musical film follows HUNTR/X, a fictional K-pop girl group whose members secretly protect humanity from demons. Its release placed a supernatural action story inside the familiar world of idol performances, fan culture, and Korean pop music.

The date is sometimes confused with the later theatrical sing-along releases. Netflix gave the film its streaming debut in June, while a sing-along version later received limited theatrical screenings on August 23–24 and October 31–November 2. The original soundtrack was also released on June 20, alongside the film.

This launch strategy helped the movie reach viewers worldwide quickly. Rather than opening first as a conventional theatrical feature, KPop Demon Hunters became a Netflix title with a major music campaign built around songs such as “Golden,” “Soda Pop,” and “Your Idol.”
