A Cinematic Event Turns into a Concert
On August 23 and 24, 2025, U.S. and Canadian theaters will host a unique cinematic celebration: KPop Demon Hunters will be screened as a special sing-along event, inviting fans to join voices and relive the hit soundtrack together. This limited-time run transforms one of Netflix’s most successful animated films into an interactive, concert-like experience for both K-pop enthusiasts and animation lovers.
The Story of HUNTR/X and Saja Boys
The film follows HUNTR/X—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey—a chart-topping K-pop girl group who double as secret demon hunters. Offstage, they protect fans from supernatural threats. Their biggest challenge comes in the form of the Saja Boys, a rival boy band of disguised demons aiming to undermine HUNTR/X and endanger their world. This blend of K-pop glamour and supernatural action, paired with striking visuals and catchy beats, has captivated global audiences.
From Netflix Sensation to Big-Screen Sing-Along
Since its Netflix debut on June 20, 2025, KPop Demon Hunters has rocketed to fourth place among the platform’s most-watched English-language films, racking up over 158 million views. The soundtrack has been equally successful—lead single “Golden” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while “Idol” landed in the top 10. Featuring performances by Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo, the music combines irresistible K-pop rhythms with story-driven lyrics.
A Playlist Built for Participation
This special theatrical run encourages audiences to sing along to fan-favorite tracks like “Golden,” “How It’s Done,” and “Soda Pop.” The goal? To create an electrifying in-theater vibe, more reminiscent of a live concert than a standard movie screening, uniting fans in a shared celebration of music and storytelling.
From the Creators of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and The Mitchells vs. The Machines, the film is directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. The screenplay, co-written by Kang and Appelhans, blends music, action, and style to reflect the global influence of modern K-pop culture.
