"KPop Demon Hunters expertly combined K-pop styles with a fantasy story inspired by folklore. After an unceremonious drop on Netflix, the movie instantly gained a cult following, prompting sing-along theater showings, chart-topping singles, and rushed Halloween costumes."
"Netflix announced that a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters is officially on the way, with original directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning. This project is only the first project in a multiyear deal with the duo, so there are likely to be multiple animated movies coming to the streamer from them."
"The timing is auspicious: KPop Demon Hunters is nominated for two awards at the Oscars, and is one of only two nominees for Best Original Song to perform during the ceremony: Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami will perform "Golden," the first K-pop song to win a Grammy award."
