While Netflix's animated film "K-pop Demon Hunters" (hereinafter referred to as "Kedheon") won two Oscars, allegations of racism arose.

Kedeheon won the Feature Animation Award and the Topic Song Award ('Golden') at the 98th Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles on the 15th (local time).

Singer and co-writer of "Golden" Lee Jae and co-writer Mark Sonnenblik, composer Kwak Jung-kyu, Yu-han, Nam Hee-dong, Seo Jeong-hoon, and Teddy Park took the stage to give their acceptance speech.

Lee Jae, who was the first to hold the microphone, cried and said, "I'm grateful to the academy for giving me such a great award. "Golden" is about recovery, not success. When I was a kid, people used to tease me for liking K-pop, but now everyone sings our songs. I'm really proud," he said.

After finishing his speech, Lee Jae handed over the microphone to his colleague, but at that moment, the microphone turned off and the stage change music played. The winners tried to continue their impressions by taking out pre-prepared paper, but soon after, the camera was converted to a full short at the awards hall.

Earlier, when "Kedeheon" won the Feature Animation Award, the stage change music played. After Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans expressed their feelings in order, the music played when producer Michelle Wing stood in front of the microphone. Fortunately, the music soon stopped and all three were able to finish their impressions, but the subject matter was virtually forced to end their impressions, sparking controversy over racial discrimination.

Broadcaster and interpreter Ahn Hyun-mo, who was broadcasting live, also expressed regret, saying, "There are so many winners," and "I heard a really long time about winning the Short Film Award."

Meanwhile, "Kedeheon" is a story about K-pop idol girl group Huntrix protecting the world from evil spirits, and since its release in June last year, it has exceeded 500 million global viewers. This is the most-watched movie record of Netflix's all-time content.
