KPop Demon Hunters is everywhere!
The Netflix animated musical has been breaking viewership records on the streaming service. The songs by fictional K-pop bands HUNTR/X and Saja Boys are tearing up the Billboard charts. The two-day theatrical release of KPop Demon Hunters: A Sing-Along Event crushed (unofficially) at the box office this weekend, which was followed by news that the sing-along version will be coming soon to Netflix. And of course, social media is exploding with fan reactions, cosplays, and tutorials on how to get Rumi's iconic purple plait.
So, naturally, Google is getting in on the fun.
Sometimes, Google likes to create little Easter Eggs on their search pages, like when Chappell Roan was officially listed as "your favorite artist's favorite artist" or when searching Dropout star Brennan Lee Mulligan sparked a showering of doll shoes.
Now, when you Google Kpop Demon Hunters, a specific catchphrase from the wildly popular musical scrolls across the top of the search results. It's not a lyric from the songs of either of the banging K-pop bands in the film. Instead, it's the aspirational relaxation mantra: Couch! Couch! Couch!
Memorably, this is what HUNTR/X members Zoey and Mira chant after completing their latest tour and prepping to relax with lots of snacks and maybe the occasional bathhouse visit. Then, in the final scene of the film, the phrase is revisited when Zoey, Mira, and Rumi chant it together in anticipation of a much-deserved rest after saving humanity from a demon invasion. But hey, that'll come after some time with their beloved fans.
Of course, for KPop Demon Hunters fans, this mantra has its own meaning. Anytime that's "couch! couch! couch!" time is a good time to rewatch the streaming hit, sing-along version or not.
