The singer-songwriter, who trained to be a K-pop idol before transitioning to songwriting, is finally getting her much-deserved moment in the spotlight thanks to the success of the Netflix animated film and its soundtrack.

Netflix and Sony’s musical phenomenon reclaims weekly No. 1 globally, nears all-time record, and sells out sing-alongs ahead this weekend's theatrical release.

Late to the "Kpop Demon Hunters" party? Make a grand entrance with the Chronicle's guide to the global phenomenon.

Netflix is hosting the special two-day event in North America over the Aug. 22-24 weekend. The singalong will also play in theaters in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.

That journey has been a quick ride to the top. The PG-rated animated film about a K-pop girl group that uses songs and swords to save the world hit Netflix June 20 and almost immediately soared to the streamer's Top 10.
