Maggie Kang, a director of the hit along with Chris Appelhans, was “just trying to make something that I wanted to see: a movie that celebrated Korean culture.”

Adding to the buzz, voice actor Arden Cho, who plays the film’s lead vocalist, stirred excitement on social media by tweeting: “Can we be #1 until Netflix confirms a sequel? Pretty please.” Animated Netflix originals with sequels often follow a 2–3 year timeline. If greenlit soon, this sequel would likely hit screens in 2027 or 2028.

Right now, the world's new obsession is a song called Golden, from the animated action film K-Pop Demon Hunters – and it's blowing up in a big way.
