00:00I've always wanted to make an animated movie set in Korea that really showcased
00:17our culture and our mythology. I thought demons would be visually spectacular in
00:22an animated movie and that led to demon hunters and K-pop was the last ingredient in the concept.
00:30And I said, please let me make this movie with you because I love all those things.
00:38K-pop Demon Hunters is about a girl group who are world famous and they are secretly demon hunters.
00:44Don't worry, it's totally legit.
00:47Huntrix is composed of Rumi, Mira and Zoey and they use music and song and dance as a way to
00:53protect the world from this demon threat.
01:00Arden Cho's voice as Rumi, she just sounded perfect.
01:06Rumi slays demons, sings, is gorgeous, has killer fashion sense. I love her luscious purple hair.
01:15She's edgy and hip, but still kind of girly.
01:17Look, I'm kind of a difficult person.
01:25Mira is a skeptic, rebellious, sarcastic.
01:30If only I could smash her demon face in right now.
01:33Thanks for coming.
01:34Mira, that character has a chip on her shoulder and it's just fun to have that flavor.
01:38So everything about her look was kind of driven by that slight desire to provoke.
01:42Yeah, she's our role model.
01:44We're here for Zoey!
01:49Zoey is the maknae of the group.
01:51So it's her professional obligation to be the cutest and the most energetic.
01:57She's cute and bubbly and adorable.
01:58And so we wanted to give her these little buns and short bang look.
02:05Why are you in your new costume?
02:08We have the most costume looks of any animated movie that's ever been made.
02:15One of my favorite things about making this movie was
02:17making girls act like real girls and not just pristine superheroes.
02:22When it comes to demon hunting and music making,
02:25they all have their role and it comes together in a magical way.
02:33Gima is our big bad.
02:35He is the voice in all our heads.
02:37And the Saja boys, they are a demon boy band.
02:41It almost seems like they're nice demons.
02:44Demons are never nice.
02:48They seduce people with their voice and looks,
02:51stealing souls to gain their power.
02:54We hate the Saja boys, but darn them for being so cute.
02:58Listening to the Saja boys song, everyone was humming it.
03:02They can make hearts out of thin air?
03:05Soda Pop is incredibly catchy and Zoe's having a hard time fighting the feeling.
03:09Mommy, control those shoulders.
03:11Wow, it is catchy.
03:13Getting to have fun with the boys, just making them super hot.
03:17That one's always looking at me.
03:18No, we're not.
03:19How do we light these abs so that we can really enjoy them?
03:24So hot.
03:28We really wanted to immerse the world in K-pop, but also stay authentically Korean.
03:34The opportunity to represent Korean Americans, that's important.
03:38Seeing it all together, it just touched me.
03:40It pays so much homage to the Korean culture.
03:44From the food, the streets in Gangnam, everything is so perfect.
03:48Happy fans.
03:49Happy home.
03:50Happy home.
03:51Happy home.
03:51Happy home.
03:51Happy home.
03:51Happy home.
03:52Happy home.
03:56We became students of K-pop, the skill of the music, the performers, the look.
04:02It takes incredible talent and expertise to do that.
04:05Can I get the mic a little higher?
04:07There's a really great ecosystem and Korean talent all coming together to create something very unique.
04:13It is so cool that Twice is covering one of our songs.
04:16It really legitimizes our movie in the K-pop space, which is really awesome.
04:20K-pop demon hunters is really so special in melding the worlds of K-pop and action and music and drama.
04:37It's addictive and catchy.
04:40There's funny parts.
04:41There's sad parts.
04:42There's action.
04:43We got it all.
04:44And we look so cute in it.
