Utah K-pop store gets in on fun with ‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ bash

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah (ABC4) — The Netflix film ‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ has exploded in popularity since its release, and one store in South Jordan got in on celebrating the success of the movie.

The Kaeguli K-Pop Shop in South Jordan held a “Kpop Demon Hunters Bash” on Saturday, hosting a screening of the film, along with food provided by Yummy’s Korean BBQ and merchandise.

The event was held to celebrate the popularity of the film, which was released on Netflix last month. One of the songs from the movie, “Golden”, sung by the fictional K-Pop group Huntrix, recently reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Neisha Sykes, co-owner of the Kaeguli K-Pop, says the popularity of the movie shows just how much the K-pop genre is growing in the United States.

“It’s amazing to see the popularity of K-pop because of the movie,” Sykes said. “We have always loved K-pop, and it’s wonderful to bring in new fans and share with them the wonderful open community we have here.”
