K-Pop and Demon Hunting: A Review of Netflix’s “K-Pop: Demon Hunters”

One of the standout new projects from Netflix’s animation showcase is “K-Pop: Demon Hunters,” which combines the glittering world of K-Pop with the thrilling pursuit of demon hunting. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, this animated film follows the dual lives of a world-famous K-Pop girl group who not only shine on stage but also battle demons in secret.

Set against a backdrop adorned with vibrant fashion, delicious cuisine, style, and the most popular music movement of this generation, the film targets both K-Pop enthusiasts and fans of fantasy stories.

While details about the cast are yet to be shared, work on the film is progressing rapidly. Described as a perfect blend of KCON and “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” the first images released by Netflix showcase just how dangerous these idols can be.

Slated for release on Netflix in 2025, “K-Pop: Demon Hunters” promises to be a visual and auditory feast, reaffirming Netflix’s commitment to animation.
