Who composed the K-pop Demon Hunters Soundtrack?
The KPop Demon Hunters Soundtrack was composed and produced by some of the biggest names in the music industry. The original songs were written and produced by Teddy Park (co-founder of The Black Label, known for BLACKPINK), Lindgren (Grammy-nominated producer known for BTS and TXT), Stephen Kirk (known for BTS “Butter” and “Permission to Dance”), and Jenna Andrews (known for BTS and BLACKPINK). Ian Eisendrath served as the Executive Music Producer, who brought his expertise from Broadway musical Come From Away to make this soundtrack a truly special musical experience.
The original orchestral score was composed by Brazilian composer Marcelo Zarvos, best known for his work on the Netflix series The Diplomat and the 2016 drama Fences. The score was released separately on December 19, 2025, under the Netflix Music label as KPop Demon Hunters (Score from the Netflix Film). Zarvos’s score beautifully complements the upbeat K-pop songs with a darker and more cinematic texture throughout the film.
In one of the biggest upsets of the night, “Golden” from Netflix’s animated blockbuster KPop Demon Hunters won the Best Original Song Oscar — becoming the first K-Pop song in history to win an Academy Award. The song was performed at the ceremony by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, who are the singing voices behind the fictional K-pop group HUNTR/X in the film.
“Golden” had already been a massive commercial hit — spending eight weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of the most successful original film songs in years. The song was written by EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, Joong Gyu Kwak, Yu Han Lee, Hee Dong Nam, Jeong Hoon Seon, and Teddy Park.
KPop Demon Hunters director Chris Appelhans delivered one of the night’s most memorable acceptance speeches: “Keep telling your story. The world is waiting.”

About the Artists & Groups
HUNTR/X (Huntrix) — The Hero Girl Group
HUNTR/X is the fictional K-pop girl group in the film representing characters Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. Their singing voices are performed by EJAE as Rumi, Audrey Nuna as Mira, and Rei Ami as Zoey. Executive Music Producer Ian Eisendrath noted that each character has a distinctive voice and he wanted to create a unique sonic world for the band. Their songs are described as emotionally honest and vulnerable, starting from their very first number “How It’s Done.”
Saja Boys — The Villain Boy Group
The Saja Boys are the film’s main antagonists — demons disguised as a K-pop boy band. They are performed by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee. Co-director Chris Appelhans explained that they wanted the Saja Boys’ songs to be super catchy but slightly hollow with no real soul underneath, which directly contrasts with the emotionally authentic Huntrix songs.
TWICE — Special Collaboration
Three members of real K-pop group TWICE — Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung — performed the lead single “TAKEDOWN.” This was the first time just these three members recorded a song together. Jeongyeon said it was such a special experience and that she is happy their combined voices will be heard all around the world.
