The animated musical film 'KPop Demon Hunters' achieved a remarkable double victory at the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, held in January 2026. The Netflix production clinched the award for Best Animated Motion Picture, triumphing over a competitive field including 'Arco', 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Infinity Castle', 'Elio', 'Little Amélie or the Character of Rain', and 'Zootopia 2'. Additionally, its popular track 'Golden' secured the Golden Globe for Best Original Song, beating out notable contenders from films like 'Wicked: For Good' and 'Avatar: Fire and Ash'. The film, directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, and produced in partnership with Sony Pictures Animation, premiered on Netflix in June 2025 and quickly became a global sensation, lauded for its vibrant animation, compelling storytelling, and powerful music. Director Maggie Kang's win for Best Animated Feature is particularly significant, as she is the first Asian woman to receive this prestigious award. Furthermore, EJAE, who co-wrote 'Golden' and provides the singing voice for the character Rumi, made history as the first Korean-American to win the Golden Globe for Best Original Song. In her emotional acceptance speech, EJAE shared her journey of overcoming a decade of rejections as a K-Pop idol trainee, dedicating her win to those who have faced similar setbacks. This dual recognition at the Golden Globes solidifies 'KPop Demon Hunters' as a major cultural and cinematic achievement, celebrating its deep roots in Korean culture and its universal appeal.
