0:00Reporting from The Daily News, now, I'm Corey with the latest global headlines. K-pop demon hunters just won best animated feature, with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Applehands, along with producer Michelle L. M. Wong accepting the award on Sunday. This victory adds to the film's growing list of honors since its Netflix release last summer, where it is won over kids and adults worldwide. Maggie Kang, a first-time nominee, dedicated the Winter Koreans everywhere, and shared that it is a long overdue step for representation, paving the way for future generations. The film's singers, AHA, Ray Ami, and Audrey Nuna showed up at the event in Golden Gounds, nodding to the breakout hit Golden from the soundtrack. That track has topped global charts in field shopping centers everywhere, after snagging Golden Globes for best original song and animated feature. Plus becoming the first K-pop song to win a Grammy last month with an Oscar-naught still pending.
