The soundtrack is now available on all platforms with an exclusive two-disc vinyl release. Brian H. Kim brings his signature “Korean horror trap” style to play in the soundtrack, a combination of Chinese and Korean traditional instruments, trap, and hip-hop beats, all integrated seamlessly. Contributions from Katseye, Woosung, and many others have enhanced the original songs and their motifs, resulting in a thrilling listen.
Brian H. Kim has stated, “After three amazing years of writing and producing the songs and score for Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld, I am truly ecstatic for the world to hear this soundtrack. We combined horror, trap, pop, hip-hop, and traditional East Asian music with incredible performances from global recording artists such as Katseye, Jessi, Yaeji, eaJ, and more. I have always dreamed of creating a pop album and an original score that works as one cohesive soundtrack, and now to do that in partnership with visionary studios like Netflix and Titmouse is a dream come true.”
