Maggie Kang, the director of 'K-pop Demon Hunters,' revealed details about the sequel.
On the 22nd, a press conference for the Netflix film 'K-pop Demon Hunters' was held at CGV Yongsan I Park Mall in Yongsan, Seoul. Director Maggie Kang attended the event and shared various stories.
'K-pop Demon Hunters' is an action fantasy animation that tells the story of K-pop superstars 'Rumi,' 'Mira,' and 'Joy' who act as hidden heroes protecting the world behind the glamorous stage.
Since its release, it has continuously maintained its position in the Netflix global TOP 10 list for English films and achieved a record of reaching No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with the OST 'Golden.'
Director Maggie Kang commented on the popularity of 'K-pop Demon Hunters,' saying, "I can't believe it. I'm so grateful to the fans," and added, "When I was young, my teacher asked me, 'Which country are you from?' They looked at the map and couldn't find Korea. Even when I said it's between China and Japan, they still couldn't find it."
She continued, "Especially Korea appears differently as a less developed country, which shocked me. From that moment, I realized, 'This is how the world sees Korea,' and I wanted to let more countries know about it."
Director Maggie Kang also mentioned the sequel, saying, "I don't have specific plans, but there are many backstories that haven't been shown to the fans, and I do have some ideas for the sequel. I know many people are waiting for it."
She added with a smile, "I want to showcase various music styles from Korea beyond K-pop, like trot and heavy metal." She emphasized, "I also want to show music from other genres that are not K-pop."
