It’s hard to ignore all the hype that has surrounded KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix’s record-breaking animated musical, since it dropped on the 2025 movie calendar. When I first heard of the movie, I didn’t give it a second thought, since I don’t know anything about K-pop and don’t care much for the fantasy genre. Well, don’t I look silly now, because after watching it with my daughter, I realize this is one spectacular movie, and I need to get out of my comfort zone more often.
I definitely did not think I was going to like KPop Demon Hunters, which centers around the members of the demon-hunting girl group Huntr/x and the big secret Rumi has been keeping from Mira and Zoey. Let me explain why I ended up watching the movie and how it was able to make me question everything I thought I knew about my taste in movies.
