Netflix animation "K-Pop Demon Hunters" has won two trophies at the Golden Globe Awards. I once again realized my keen interest in K-pop Demon Hunters, an American animation based on Korean K-pop. Director Park Chan-wook's film "I Can't Help It" was unfortunately no longer a spectator.
The 83rd Golden Globe Awards were held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California at 8 p.m. on the 11th (10 a.m. local time, Korean time on the 12th). On this day, "K-pop Demon Hunters" won the theme song award for Huntrix's "Golden" and even won the animation work award.
K-pop Demon Hunters was nominated in three Golden Globe categories this year. He was nominated for the Best Animated Feature Film, the Best Feature Film in the film category (Huntrix 'Golden'), and the Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement (Cinematic and Box Office Achievement), and won the Best Feature Film Award and the Best Animated Feature in the film category.
Lee Jae-jae, who sang as Huntrix Lumie after winning the theme song award, went on stage to receive the trophy and expressed his feelings with tears. Lee Jae said, "I was rejected because my voice was not enough, so I was very disappointed. I relied on songs and music to endure that time." "I want to dedicate this award to everyone who has experienced the door being closed," Lee Jae said, adding, "I can confidently say that rejection is another beginning that leads to a new direction."
Director Meggie Kang of "K-Pop Demon Hunters" also shed tears and thanked her for winning the Best Animated Feature Award.
"K-Pop Demon Hunters" was the most popular Netflix movie ever. K-pop Demon Hunters, which was released in June last year, set the record for the most-watched movie ever on Netflix and was recorded as the first English-language movie to maintain the top spot in the world even in the fifth week of its release. The cumulative number of streams exceeded 500 million.
The work depicts a confrontation between the girl group "Huntrix" who lives a double life to protect "Honmun" as a demon hunter and the rival boy group "Lion Boys," which has been identified as demons, and Korean actors Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Byung-hun participated in the voice acting. Thanks to the success, a contract for the production of the sequel has been signed and is expected to be released in 2029.
Along with the movie, the theme song "Golden" was also greatly loved. The soundtrack album was nominated for five Grammy Awards, and "Golden" won the theme song award at the 2026 Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globe, and is also considered a leading candidate for the Oscar for the theme song.
Director Park Chan-wook's "There is nothing I can do about it" was nothing. "I Can't Help It" competed with "Blue Moon," "Bugonia," "Marty Supreme," "Nouvel Bagh" and "One Battle After Another" as nominees for best musical and comedy film, but failed to win.
In particular, Lee Byung-hun was nominated for the Best Actor Award in the Musical and Comedy Film category and challenged for the first time as a Korean actor, but this award went to Timothy Chalamet, the "Marty Supreme." Lee Byung-hun applauded when Timothy Chalamet was named the winner.
"I Can't Help It" tells the story of Man-soo (Lee Byung-hun), an office worker whose life was satisfactory enough to feel "all achieved," being fired, preparing for his own war on reemployment to protect his wife and two children, and to protect his hard-won home. In Korea, it was released in September and attracted 2.94 million viewers, and was selected as a representative Korean entry in the 98th Academy Awards International Feature Film category.
As the Golden Globe Awards is called an outpost for the Academy Awards, we regret that expectations were focused on the award of "There is nothing we can do about it." However, attention is being paid to whether "I can't help it" will be able to achieve another outcome at the Oscars.
