This film aptly capitalizes on the success that the K-pop genre has seen not only in South Korea, but all over the world. You’ve got crisp and colorful animation brought to you by the same crew that did Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, along with punchy action sequences and foot-tapping original music tracks that take inspo from the best of K-Pop, and you’ve got a clear recipe for success.
So we know the inspiration for this film was K-Pop, but how did it all come about? Demons and K-Pop aren’t really the first two things we think of when playing word association. Well, the film draws heavily from director Maggie Kang’s South Korean roots along with South Korean folklore surrounding demons and mythology. Of course, Kang’s love of K-pop was also a huge inspiration. The film is currently available to stream exclusively on Netflix.
If you’ve missed the viral phenomenon, we’ll catch you up to speed: The movie centers around world-renowned K-pop girl group HUNTR/X, as the members balance their lives in the spotlight with their secret identities as demon hunters. Each group and musical number was based loosely on some of your favorite K-pop acts, including MONSTA X and BLACKPINK to Itzy and EXO. K-Pop is interwoven throughout this endeavor. In fact, tracks featured in the film are even sung by former and current K-pop idols such as Kevin Woo from UKISS to Twice’s track “Takedown,” sung by members Jeongyeon Jihyo and Chaeyoung.
