'KPop Demon Hunters' scores 4 wins at 2026 AMAs

Netflix animated film “KPop Demon Hunters” notched up multiple wins at the 52nd American Music Awards as fictional girl group Huntrix took home the song of the year award for “Golden.”

It beat nine other nominees, including Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia," Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild" and Olivia Dean's "Man I Need."

Accepting the award, singer-songwriter Ejae — the singing voice for the character Rumi and the lyricist and composer for the track — thanked fans for the achievement.

“This movie, this song is fueled by the fans. You guys truly sealed the honmoon,” said Ejae, during her acceptance speech, referencing the mythic barrier in the film that Huntrix maintains to protect the human world from the demon realm.

“The fact that this award is voted by the fans is what means so much,” she added. “Thank you so much to the fans, thank you to the ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ team.”

"Thank you to all the fans that voted. 'KPop Demon Hunters' would not be what it is without our passionate fandom," added Rei Ami. "Thank you for laughing, crying and singing with us for the past year."

The project later added three more wins during the ceremony. Huntrix's "Golden" also won best vocal performance and best pop song, while "KPop Demon Hunters" took home the award for best soundtrack.
