"If you haven't seen KPop Demon Hunters yet, do you even have a Netflix subscription? The film has quickly become the streaming giant's most popular film ever, and stolen the hearts of fans of every age. Kids love it because, well, what's not to love? And even parents can get into the soundtrack, girl power elements, and witty dialogue."

"All six women have been vocal in their affection for their characters and the film as a whole. Audrey Nuna, who provides Mira's singing voice, has spoken interviews about being so "tickled" seeing Korean food animated after feeling like she had to hide the kimbap in her lunch growing up. Arden Cho and EJAE, who together voice Rumi, told Variety they love her perseverance and think her story has the potential to empower a younger generation of Korean Americans."
