Why it matters

Nothing but the truth now: We're obsessed with Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters.

Key takeaways

  • And while we're dreamin' hard about the forthcoming sequel, fill that Rumi-sized hole in your life with these secrets.
  • As Kang put it in January 2026 oral history for The New York Times, “I liked her so much, I just plucked her out and made this movie about her.” 2.
  • Backstage at the International Idol Awards, viewers can spot posters for girl groups MEOW and TWICE, with the latter also appearing just below HUNTR/X on a Top 10 Chart.

Admittedly, the thought of waiting another three years to check in with HUNTR/X and their rivals the Saja Boys broke us into a million pieces. But it takes time to perfect animation and write Billboard Hot 100 bops like "Soda Pop," "Your Idol" and "Golden."

“I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters,” director Maggie Kang, who will once again claimed a chair alongside partner Chris Appelhans, told Netflix’s Tudum in March. “There’s so much more to this world we have built, and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning.”

And while we wait to see how a follow-up is done, done, done, we'll just have to shatter the silence with our favorite tracks and drink up every drop of these truly golden behind-the-scenes secrets.
