“K-Pop Demon Hunters” has become the most successful original film of all-time for Netflix, by a considerable margin. With that, one of the singing voices is still waiting for Netflix to call for her to come back for a sequel, that seems invetiable, given the immense popularity the IP now commands for Netflix around the world.

At Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party, Rei Ami, who’s in-costume as her “K-Pop Demon Hunters” character Zoey, briefly spoke with E! News in regards to the overall success of “K-Pop Demon Hunters.” However, within that conversation was a brief conversation regarding if Ami wants to see a sequel. Her response was: “I’m waiting for the call, just like you! You’re gonna find out when I do, so we’ll chat then.”
Ami went on to talk about the overall effect the film itself has had, saying that it “brought so much hope and light into such a dim, grim world, and I feel really privileged to be a part of it.”
Ami provides the singing voice for Zoey, who’s regular voice is provided by Ji-young Yoo. In terms of the other singing voices for HUNTR/X, Ami is joined by Ejae (Rumi) and Audrey Nuna (Mira). Arden Cho (Rumi) and May Hong (Mira) provide the other regular versions. The film also includes the singing or regular voices of Ahn Hyo-seop, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, Lee Byung-hun, and more. It is directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, who co-wrote the script alongside Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan. Sony Pictures Animation produced the film, who then sold its rights to Netflix.
At the time of writing, “K-Pop Demon Hunters” has over 400 million views, though it is important to note that Netflix only officially tracks the views for up to 91 days after release. With that in mind, the film “ended” its run with 325.1 million views, which is still the most-viewed Netflix Original Film of all-time.
