Originality feels like it's in short supply, so it's a good thing the movie and game have taken off as well as they have.

One of the stars of animated sensation KPop Demon Hunters says the movie's success "feels like a dream". The film, about a fictional girl band who live a double life defending humanity from a supernatural threat, has become Netflix's most-watched animated film ever since its release in June.

"K-pop Demon Hunters," an American-made film, has gained a huge audience in South Korea, thanks to its nods to Korean folklore, pop culture and habits.
