Hey everyone — huge news to share from the world of K-content: Dong-A Ilbo reported on January 13, 2026 that KPop Demon Hunters has won two Golden Globe awards. As a fan, I’m honestly buzzing — two Globes is no small feat!
The press note was brief, so it didn’t list the exact categories, but the headline result itself is clear: this project walked away with two Golden Globes, a big international spotlight moment for anything tied to K-pop and Korean entertainment.
Quick context for those following along:
- The Golden Globes are presented annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
- The ceremony usually takes place in January in Los Angeles and honors achievements in film and television from around the world.
- Dong-A Ilbo is one of South Korea’s major newspapers and frequently highlights Korean entertainment milestones.
- Korean film and TV have been grabbing global recognition in recent years — a notable landmark was Parasite winning Best Picture at the 2020 Oscars.
Seeing KPop Demon Hunters bring home two Golden Globes feels like another chapter in how far Korean pop culture has reached. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more detailed coverage on the categories and acceptance moments — but for now, let’s celebrate this huge win!
