Two songwriters from K-pop and musical theater, Mark Sonnenblick and EJAE, created the soundtrack for Netflix's animated musical 'KPop Demon Hunters,' which has become a surprise hit, peaking at Number Two on the Billboard 200 and making it the highest-debuting soundtrack of the year. Their collaboration, driven by a blend of genres and storytelling, has led to the film's unprecedented popularity and the success of its songs, especially 'Golden,' which is being considered for an Academy Award.
