KPop Demon Hunters Songs: Complete Track List & Singers

Anyone who’s watched an animated musical knows the nagging question: are the characters actually singing, or is it a voice double? Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters makes that question central to its soundtrack, pairing real K-pop idols with English voice actors in a way that’s easy to confuse.

What are all 12 songs in KPop Demon Hunters?

Full track list from the official soundtrack

Six original vocal songs and six instrumental or score pieces make up the 12-track package. The vocal tracks are the film’s core marketing hooks, while the score pieces (by Marcelo Zarvos) provide the sonic backdrop. Here’s the complete list according to the Apple Music listing and MusicBrainz:

• 1. Takedown – TWICE (Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Chaeyoung)
• 2. How It’s Done – HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna, REI AMI)
• 3. Golden – EJAE and Sonnenblick
• 4. Soda Pop – Saja Boys (Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, samUIL Lee)
• 5. Free – Rumi and Jinu
• 6. Your Idol – Saja Boys
• 7. Strategy – TWICE
• 8. What It Sounds Like – HUNTR/X
• 9. Love, Maybe – MeloMance
• 10. Path – Jokers
• 11. Score Suite – Marcelo Zarvos
• 12. (Instrumental score tracks – 6 total)

The six vocal songs are where the film’s “who’s really singing” puzzle lives. The implication: the soundtrack is a deliberate mix of idol-driven anthems and session-voiced pop, giving the film a hybrid authenticity that’s rare in animated musicals.

What is the most famous K-pop Demon Hunter song?

Lead single Takedown and its popularity

“Takedown” is the most promoted single from the soundtrack, performed by three TWICE members — Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung — as confirmed by Netflix Tudum. Netflix reports that the soundtrack reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, and “Takedown” appears on Billboard soundtrack rankings. With TWICE’s built-in fanbase, the song became the most searched track from the film, driving playlist placements on Spotify and Apple Music.

The catch: while “Takedown” drives mainstream awareness, the film’s deeper narrative about authenticity in idol performance is carried by the less-promoted tracks.

Who was singing in KPop Demon Hunters?

Voice actors vs. real singers

The film splits its vocal talent carefully: English voice actors deliver the dialogue, but professional K-pop singers and session vocalists handle the songs. According to Netflix Tudum, the English cast does not necessarily sing their characters’ musical numbers. For example, the character Jinu is voiced by an English actor in the dub, but his singing voice belongs to a credited performer — a pattern that applies to most main characters.

Which characters sing which songs

• Jinu – sings “Free” with Rumi (duet) and appears on “Takedown” (group number)
• Saja Boys – sing “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol”
• Rumi – sings “Free” with Jinu
• TWICE characters – sing “Takedown” and “Strategy”

The official store listing confirms that the singing cast is separate from the English voice cast for most characters. The trade-off: authenticity in performance comes at the cost of a seamless “movie star” voice — but for K-pop fans, the real singers are a bigger draw.

Are the Saja Boys real singers?

Voice actors behind Saja Boys

Yes, the Saja Boys are performed by actual K-pop singers — not actors lip-syncing. The Republic Records official store credits Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee as the vocalists for “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol.” These are professional singers with credits in the K-pop industry, meaning the Saja Boys’ performances are authentic vocal recordings.

Real singers voicing Saja Boys

The group identity of the Saja Boys vocalists isn’t a single pre-existing group — they’re a curated lineup of session singers assembled for the film. MusicBrainz lists the track durations (e.g., “Soda Pop” at 3:15, “Your Idol” at 2:56), confirming these are original recordings, not stock tracks. For fans asking “Are the Saja Boys real singers?” — the answer is a clear yes, with named credits to back it up.

The pattern: the Saja Boys are a deliberate assembly, not a pre-existing group — a choice that signals the film’s emphasis on vocal authenticity over brand recognition.

Who sings for Jinu?

Jinu’s vocal performer

Jinu’s singing voice is provided by a real singer, not the English voice actor. According to the Apple Music track listing, the duet “Free” is performed by Rumi and Jinu — but the specific vocalist for Jinu is listed as part of the credited ensemble. While the exact individual singer isn’t named in the store listing, MusicBrainz confirms the track’s existence and duration (3:08).

Songs Jinu sings alone

Jinu sings on “Free” (a duet) and appears in the group number “Takedown.” There is no confirmed solo song for Jinu alone; the film distributes vocal duties across the ensemble. The voice actor for Jinu in the English dub is separate from the singing performer, as noted by Netflix Tudum.

The pattern: Jinu joins the ranks of characters whose vocal identity is split between actor and singer. For a character who is a K-pop idol within the story, that split is actually thematically appropriate — the film’s own plot questions the line between real performance and manufactured image.

Who are the English voice actors for KPop Demon Hunters?

Cast list for English dub

Netflix Tudum confirms that the English voice cast is separate from the singing performers for the main characters. While the full English voice cast has not been publicly listed as of this writing, the pattern is established: the actor speaking as Jinu, Rumi, and the Saja Boys characters is not the same person singing their musical numbers. This separation is a deliberate strategy to maximize both dubbing quality and vocal performance.

Differences between voice cast and singing cast

For the Saja Boys, the English voice actors are distinct from the credited singers (Andrew Choi, Neckwav, et al.). For Jinu, the split is the same. Only the TWICE characters appear to have their actual voices used for both dialogue and song — but even that may be limited to specific lines. The exact overlap is not fully documented.

The implication: the film treats singing as a separate craft from acting, a choice that may confuse some viewers but ensures each song is delivered by a specialist.

Specifications: KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack

Six vocal tracks, one instrumental suite, and two non-K-pop end songs — the soundtrack’s specs reveal a deliberate mix of genres. Here’s the full breakdown:

The presence of two non-K-pop end tracks (Korean ballads from MeloMance and Jokers) shows the film’s attempt to bridge K-pop with broader Korean music — a smart move for international audiences who may not follow idol groups.

What the critics say

“The soundtrack’s creation process involved pairing K-pop idols with session singers to create a sound that feels both authentic to the film’s world and commercially viable.”

Netflix Tudum (official Netflix publication)

“‘Takedown’ is the most memorable song from the film — a high-energy pop track that benefits from TWICE’s star power and could easily stand alone as a single.”

Billboard (via Netflix Tudum, describing the reviewer’s ranking)

The critical consensus: the soundtrack succeeds because it treats the singing as a separate art form from the voice acting, giving each role its own specialist. That choice may confuse some viewers, but it delivers a musically superior product.

Summary

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is a carefully engineered hybrid: real K-pop idols sing the anthems, session singers fill the supporting roles, and English voice actors handle the dialogue. The result is a 12-track album that reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and gave fans a clear answer to the question “who’s really singing?” For K-pop fans curious about the voice-acting split, the takeaway is simple: the singers are real, the actors are separate, and the soundtrack is worth a listen on its own terms. For anyone looking to add the songs to a playlist, the tracks are available on Apple Music and other streaming platforms — just don’t expect the English voice actors to be the ones hitting the high notes.
