We are live in the Mercedes-Benz Interview Lounge.

Gandhi, I'm Danielle, and I'm very excited because Kevin Wu is here. Woo'm not going to lie. You're going to say woo-woo. Yeah, that's right. Wow. I am not going to lie, but Soda Pop was my favorite song from K-pop Demon Hunters. Really? You're not to saying that? Half Gandhi. She was so obsessed with the song. She said it and when we saw that we were going to talk to you, I said, oh, my God, but he did the song that you loved. Oh, my God. Oh, thank you. I love you. Oh, thank you for streaming and adding to our, you know, our numbers on the streams and the charge. I love it. It was all the kids. Yes. Oh, it was all the now. So wait, am I hearing that there will really be Asajib boys going like on tour and doing stuff?

I mean, wait. Am I hearing that there will really be Asaja boys going like on tour and doing stuff? I mean, nothing that I've heard of yet, but that's, you know, if we did, that'd be really special. I think that'd be amazing. Did you have any idea when you guys were creating this piece that it was going to take over the way that it did?

Not like it did. That's for sure. We knew it was very special. I wanted to take part of this project because it meant so much to me personally as a Korean American artist who rarely

saw myself in the media and mainstream on the big screen and especially in

animated films. So for me to really be the role model for all these young kids out there

and the next generation is really, really an honor for me. Wow. Was there a moment, though,

that you went, wow. Now I know how special this movie is. Like, what happened? What one moment happened?

Well, we got five Grammy nominations. No big deal. I'm like, I'm freaking out inside still.

But also when Djokovic did the soda pop dance in front of the whole world at the U.S.

Open. Yeah, that's crazy. I lost my mind.

It was insane.

So I was going to ask a question somewhat like that. You've had to have some pinch me moments because this blew up. Has there been a celebrity or something that happened where you thought, oh, my God. Yes. Oh, who was it? Two days ago. Two days ago. So I was at the time, a year in time event, and I performed Soto Pop in front of Leonardo DiCaprio.

Hi! Who was it? Two days ago. Two days ago. So I was at the time, a year in time event, and I performed Soto Pop in front of Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh! He was one of the honorees of that evening, and I had the pleasure to Soda Pop with him. Did he know it? Did he know it? He did, of course. How do you not know it? Yeah. It was insane. And we're doing K-pop Demon Hunters too, but why do we have to wait till like 2029? Oh my God. Right. I want to ask the same question. Maggie, we're all waiting here. And the Saga Boys need them they could come back. Yes. I think the Saja boys just need their own film. The whole movie. A spin-off. Oh. You heard it here first. In the Mercedes-Benz interview. We told you. I didn't say anything. I just went, ooh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should be like, woo. Woo. Yeah. Well, thank you so much, Kevin. Kevin Wu for joining us back here. Thank you. Love it. We're looking forward to all the things that you're going to do next year. And thank you so much, Kevin. Kevin Wu for joining us back here. Thank you.
