Interview: K-pop beats, demon feats, and one massive global hit

KPop Demon Hunters is an extraordinary musical adventure, breaking all kinds of records. Months after the animated Netflix film’s release, it’s still creating a buzz like no other.

We recently sat down with the brilliant minds behind the genre-bending phenomenon that has captivated audiences of all ages from all over the world.

Awards Buzz’s Sari Cohen gets into the origins of the chaos with directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the visionary duo who dared to ask: what happens when you fuse a supernatural action saga with the glitter and guts of K-pop?

We also dive into this pop-culture juggernaut without the stars who made it sing — literally. EJAE (the voice of Rumi and songwriter behind bangers like “Golden,” “How It’s Done,” “Your Idol,” and “Hunter’s Mantra”) joins fellow vocal powerhouses AUDREY NUNA (Mira) and REI AMI (Zoey) to talk finding harmony in a fictional girl group, staying true to their unique styles, and stepping into the spotlight together for their electric live debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

From the spark that lit the K-pop flame to the whirlwind ride of international fame, these interviews cover artistry, identity, and what it really takes to slay on stage.

From Sony Pictures Animation, it’s KPop Demon Hunters! Streaming on Netflix.
