When Netflix dropped KPop Demon Hunters earlier this year, it was billed as a fizzy animated romp about a band of glitter-clad idols slaying supernatural nasties between tour stops.
What no one quite foresaw was the cultural eruption it would trigger among school-age audiences.
Within a fortnight, playgrounds were echoing with its relentlessly catchy soundtrack, choreography tutorials were racking up millions of views on TikTok, and parents were finding themselves humming along in the supermarket aisles.
The series follows a K-pop girl group who balance their lives as global music idols with a secret mission to hunt down and defeat demons. But it’s the music that has lodged itself most deeply in the collective consciousness. Production teams in Seoul have perfected the art of crafting choruses engineered to repeat in small heads, and as countless childless millennials will attest, in ours too.
Even if you have never so much as glanced at the show, you have almost certainly heard it, whether belting out of a colleague’s eight-year-old during a video call or piped from a neighbour’s garden.
Parents sit through episode after episode, not simply because their children insist, but because they have been sucked in themselves. Entire families now know the dance moves – celebs too, with Novak Djokovic celebrating a recent win with a Demon Hunter dance.
For those of us without children, the phenomenon is inescapable. We overhear the jingles in parks, we dodge racks of pastel-plastered merchandise in high street shops, and we field baffled questions about which “idol-demon” is our favourite.
Whether you’re an adult superfan or catering to the obsessions of your little ones, I’ve hunted for the merch, so you can stick to demons.
