WONHO goes viral with KPop Demon Hunters dance cover as "Abby"
KPop Demon Hunters has quickly become one of 2025’s biggest cultural phenomena. Released on Netflix on June 20, 2025, the animated series has taken the K-pop world by storm. The series is centered around two fictional idol groups: the girl trio Huntrix featuring members Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, and the five-member boy group Saja Boys, with the members Jinu, Abby, Romance, Mystery, and Baby.
What made this even more exciting is the timing. Soda Pop, one of the songs from the series, made headlines on July 5 by reaching No. 1 on Spotify's Daily Top Songs chart in the U.S., making it only the fourth K-pop song in history to achieve this. It surpassed BTS’ 2020 global hit Dynamite, which peaked at No. 3 on the same chart.
The exclusive list of K-pop songs that have reached this milestone before includes Seven by Jungkook, Who by Jimin, and APT. by Rosé.
WONHO’s tribute at such a moment by covering two of the most viral tracks from the series and transforming into one of its most beloved characters added fuel to the fandom’s excitement, making him trend worldwide.
