HUNTR/X is now the only female K-pop group in the entire history of the Billboard Hot 100 to achieve this feat, and the first girl group of any genre to land at No. 1 since Destiny’s Child’s 2001 hit Bootylicious. KPop Demon Hunters was released in June and quickly became a popular film thanks to its characters and original music.

What are your thoughts? Shocked to see a fictional group make history?
