Netflix's "K-Pop Demon Hunters" ("Kedheon") has won the Oscar trophy.

The 98th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, LA, at 7 p.m. on the 15th (local time).

No Korean films have been invited to the awards ceremony, but attention has been paid to whether the K-pop animation Netflix "K-Pop Demon Hunters," which caused a craze last year, will win the award.

On this day, "K-pop Demon Hunters" won the award through outstanding animation competitions such as "Zootopia 2," "Arco," "Elio," and "Little Amelie."

Director Meggie Kang of K-pop Demon Hunters, who took the stage for the award, thanked many people for joining the film and said, "This award is for Korea, for all Koreans in the world."

"K-pop Demon Hunters" was released in June last year and was loved worldwide as it ranked No. 1 in Netflix movie viewing time.

In particular, the ceremony is expected to feature the Golden stage of Lee Jae, Audrey, and Ray Army, who played as the girl group "Huntrix" in the play of "K-pop Demon Hunters."

At the Academy Awards, meanwhile, attention is being paid to the competition between the two works, "Sinners: Sinners," which broke the previous record (14 nominations) set by "Eve's Everything" and "Titanic," and "One Battle After Another," which was nominated in 13 categories.
