All It Took Was One Animation.
Okay so, I have always loved watching Kdramas, I don’t even need to say that twice ,it is something I genuinely enjoy, but funny enough, I never really used to pay attention to the songs they used there, mean, I hear all the background music and all, but I was not the type that would just go looking for the soundtrack or saving it you get?...
But all that changed the day I watched this animation called K‑Pop Demon Hunters, it was a recommendation by a friend, that was where everything started for me when it comes to falling in love with K‑Pop.
See the animation was just giving , you know the colors, the characters, the vibe, and then boom, the music came in. First it was Hunterix singing “How It’s Done” and I was like wait, what is this o ? Like the song just hit different, then they now sang “Golden” and I just knew I was somehow done for, the beat, the voice, the confidence , I was feeling it deep and the next thing Saja Boys came with their own song, “Soda Pop” that one sweet ehn, like sugar and small wickedness mixed together . Omo even writing now on it I have it on my play list lol...
How it's Done
Golden
And then later they did “Takedown” , and I was literally vibing with it like I was just there with them,there is also “Your Idol” from Saja Boys , very deep and dark, but was still somehow sweet, and “Free”, a duet between Rumi and Jinu, it was a very emotional one, i even heard that TWICE did their own version of Takedown and omo, those girls really did killed it.
Your Idol
And you know before I knew it I was already on YouTube and Spotify searching for all these songs ,from there I just jumped into other K‑pop vibes, that’s how I also found songs from the Kdrama "To The Beautiful You "like “Butterfly” by Jessica and Krystal, “Stand Up” by Sunny and Luna, and even “Closer” by Taeyeon it's Old but was very sweet, I don’t even know how I missed all these ones before now.
So If you ask me who my favorite is now, Omo I can not even pick just one yet because I am still discovering them , but I really love the voices of the Huntrix singers , Their songs make you want to sing along even if you don’t know how to speak Korean
See honestly ehn.., I didn’t even see it coming, I just watched the animation thinking it would be normal, next thing I’m saving tracks, playing them over and over.
So yeah, K‑Pop Demon Hunters was what pulled me in, and now, I don’t even think I am leaving anytime soon.

This animation definitely brought in more kpop fans, I love all the songs in it too. Golden is my favourite. There have been a lot of covers and clips about the songs everywhere, it's exciting to see how far this is going hehe.
I love all the songs . I don't have a favourite yet. I have a playlist lol. Maybe one day I might do a cover of one
I have this friend that said she didn't like kpop but enjoys the songs from Kpop demon hunters. How?! Make it make sense😂. Welcome to the club Treasure. Kpop has so many wonderful genres, under it's roof. I'm glad you've been brought onboard
