The soundtrack is taking over the radio, Halloween was filled with costumes inspired by the film, and social feeds are fully locked into the \u201cKPop Demon Hunters era.\u201d The animated story follows a K-pop girl group living a double life as demon hunters, blending pop stardom, fantasy, and high-energy fun. In our opinion, it gives a hint of that long-dreamed-of Spice Girls revival feeling. What many may not know is that this global craze has an unexpected tie to Bergen County. <strong>Here is how a local Bergen County connection fits into one of the biggest entertainment moments of the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-231385 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/KPop-Demon-Hunters-Fort-Lee-BG-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/KPop-Demon-Hunters-Fort-Lee-BG-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/KPop-Demon-Hunters-Fort-Lee-BG-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/KPop-Demon-Hunters-Fort-Lee-BG-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/KPop-Demon-Hunters-Fort-Lee-BG-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/12\/KPop-Demon-Hunters-Fort-Lee-BG.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Inside the Story + Breaking Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The film focuses on Huntr\/x, a three-member K-pop group balancing arena lights with supernatural battles. Months after release, the momentum is still climbing. Netflix has confirmed that KPop Demon Hunters is now the most-watched Netflix film of all time, with more than 236 million views. The soundtrack also continues to soar thanks to its addictive tracks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/mitsuwa-edgewater-new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exploring Mitsuwa in Edgewater: A Japanese Foodie Paradise + Grocery Store<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who Is EJAE: The Voice Behind Rumi + Her Bergen County Connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A major part of the soundtrack\u2019s success comes from EJAE, the singing voice for Rumi and the co-writer behind many of the film\u2019s most replayed songs. Born in Seoul on December 6, 1991, she has written + produced for major K-pop groups including Red Velvet, Aespa, Twice, and Le Sserafim. A recent clip from The Zach Sang Show revealed that EJAE spent part of her early childhood living in Fort Lee, New Jersey. She even shouted out Fort Lee\u2019s Korean food scene, calling it some of the best on the East Coast. BG insider scoop: Carli from team BG, a Fort Lee native, fully agrees.<\/p>\n<p>Her time in New Jersey may have been short, but it still adds her to the growing list of talents tied to the Garden State. From its record-breaking global run to its Bergen County link, KPop Demon Hunters continues to blend massive pop-culture energy with a local twist. It is yet another reminder that some of the world\u2019s greatest humans + films have roots in the best state around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>See More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.themontclairgirl.com\/seoul-bistro-montclair-nj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seoul Bistro: A New Korean Restaurant Serving Authentic Eats in Montclair<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Follow @thebergencountygirl on\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thebergencountygirl\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thehobokengirl\/?hl=en\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0for the latest Bergen County updates,\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thebergencountygirl.myflodesk.com\/uu0mgpgtm0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/view.flodesk.com\/pages\/62f92877e5ea6b3d8aea50ad\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">sign up for our email list here<\/a>\u00a0that shares everything you missed each week, and check out our\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.hobokengirl.com\/events\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">events calendar<\/a>, which has over 30+ events weekly to peruse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/people\/\">People<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CultureKPop Demon Hunters is officially everywhere.
