Fans of global Netflix hit “KPop Demon Hunters” will have the chance to sing along to their favorite songs from the film at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) in September.

A special sing-along screening of “KPop Demon Hunters” will take place at Sohyang Theater Shinhan Card Hall on the campus of Dongseo University, BIFF's organizers announced on Thursday.


The screening will allow audiences to sing along to the film’s soundtrack, which has topped music charts across North America and beyond. Songs such as “How It’s Done,” “Soda Pop,” “Golden” and “Your Idol” have fueled the project’s rise toward the top of Netflix’s global rankings.

“KPop Demon Hunters,” which blends the world of K-pop with occult fantasy, has drawn widespread international attention and established itself as a brand in its own right, according to the festival’s organizers.

The 30th edition of BIFF is scheduled to run Sept. 17 to 26 in and around the southern port city of Busan.

Details about the sing-along screening schedule will be released on BIFF’s website.
