TWICE's Jeongyeon and Jihyo spoke about their feelings regarding their participation in the OST (insert song) for the Netflix anime 'KPOP Girls! Demon Hunters.' On the afternoon of the 20th, Arirang TV held a live broadcast of 'K-Pop: The Next Chapter.' This program featured South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, director Maggie Kang of 'KPOP Girls! Demon Hunters,' and Jihyo and Jeongyeon, who discussed the work and the popularity of K-POP under the guidance of Chang Sung-kyu. Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung sang the song 'TAKEDOWN' of the in-story girl group HUNTRIX, which became a hot topic. Supported by the popularity of the work, the song ranked on the Billboard charts, marking a career high for TWICE. As an active K-POP girl group, how much did TWICE resonate with HUNTRIX? Jeongyeon said, 'While we meet fans during our world tour, I really empathized with the way they sing together with us, show supportive message boards, and come dressed in the same outfits.' Leader Jihyo also laughed, saying, 'There were parts that were similar, like wearing pajamas and searching for a sofa in the dorm.' She joked, 'Actually, the TWICE members often go to a herbal clinic for acupuncture.' She added, 'There were many aspects we could relate to in HUNTRIX,' which drew laughter from the audience. In particular, Jeongyeon revealed, 'When we received the proposal to participate in 'KPOP Girls! Demon Hunters,' we were sent all the songs of HUNTRIX. I wanted to sing them all, but I had to choose the song I really wanted to sing, and that was 'TAKEDOWN.' In response, Jihyo laughed, saying, 'We also considered 'Golden' and had a hard time deciding, but I thought 'TAKEDOWN' was really perfect for the three of us.' Jeongyeon remarked, 'TAKEDOWN was the most difficult song since our debut,' admitting, 'I wondered if I could really sing it.' Despite being nervous, TWICE's 'TAKEDOWN' received positive feedback from fans and viewers alike. In response, Jeongyeon and Jihyo performed a part of the song on the spot, receiving a big round of applause from the audience. 'KPOP Girls! Demon Hunters' is an action fantasy animation film depicting the girl group HUNTRIX fighting evil spirits behind the glamorous stage. It was released on Netflix on June 20 and ranked second in Netflix's all-time movie rankings. Additionally, the OST 'Golden' topped the Billboard Hot 100 main single chart, creating a buzz.
