SEOUL, Jan. 12 (Yonhap) -- Netflix's hit animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" clinched two prizes at the Golden Globes, taking home best animated feature and best original song.

Directed by Korean Canadian filmmaker Maggie Kang, "KPop Demon Hunters" was awarded Best Motion Picture, Animated, at the 83rd annual Golden Globes held Sunday (U.S. time) at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, in addition to Best Original Song, Motion Picture, for its lead track, "Golden."

The victory follows similar success at the Critics Choice Awards earlier this month, where the film claimed both categories.

The American film tells the story of a fictional K-pop girl group, Huntr/x, who uses their music to fight evil spirits and save the world.
