For K-pop to grow as a global industry, Korea must expand its performance infrastructure, foster balanced development across the arts and provide decisive government support — without control or interference, said President Lee Jae Myung during a televised appearance on the Arirang TV special “K-pop: The Next Chapter,” which aired on Wednesday.

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.

President Lee Jae Myung has met with a group of creatives behind the smash-hit Netflix animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" and pledged to cultivate South Korea's cultural sector into one of the country's core industries.

Kpop Demon Hunters 2 could be on the horizon. Fans speculate Jinu's return, as Sony steps in to lead the sequel after the film's viral streaming success.

To further prove the point, KPop Demon Hunters is already number two on Netflix’s most-watched Netflix movies of all time. It sits just 20 million views below Red Notice, released in November 2021. Could it take the top spot? This all-timer Netflix chart is based on the number of watches a movie has received in its first 91 days on stream.
