TWICE Participates in KPop Demon Hunters; 8 of Their Songs Make It onto Billboard Hot 100

Netflix’s film “KPop Demon Hunters” has become a global phenomenon. Netflix stated that this film is the most-watched title in its history, with hundreds of millions of hours viewed worldwide.

“KPop Demon Hunters,” produced by Sony Pictures Animation, features K-POP girl group TWICE. To celebrate their 10th anniversary last year, they released “TEN: The Story Goes On.” This album consists mostly of solo tracks, with all nine members—Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Y—including SARANG—contributing their first individual solo pieces for the project.

The tracklist extends beyond typical pop styles. “Hacks a Drink” is in a country format, while “Chess” samples Beethoven’s “Für Elise.” Mina explained, “Each member chose a concept that suited them best. For group songs, having spent 10 years together allowed us to understand each other’s vocal tones and strengths, enabling us to assign parts accordingly.”

The soundtrack for “KPop Demon Hunters” became the highest-performing film music of 2025. Eight tracks from the soundtrack entered the Billboard Hot 100. The film premiered in theaters in August and was released again over Halloween weekend. It received two nominations at the Academy Awards.

Regarding the significance of this success, Jihyo said, “We worked really hard for 10 years, but honestly, I’m not entirely sure what the standard for success is.” She added, “If consistently staying diligent allowed many people to listen to our music, love it, and find encouragement, then I think that could be considered success.”

TWICE utilizes various communication channels when preparing new songs. Dahyun explained, “We have many group chat groups—company-wide ones, member-specific groups, and several others. When we can’t meet in person, we share opinions through chats, and sometimes we use voting functions to make decisions among different options.”

Meanwhile, the global beauty brand Anua released a limited-edition collaboration set tied to “KPop Demon Hunters” exclusively at Olive Young.
