“Renaissance.” “Barbie.” “Brat.” Every summer, a pop-culture phenomenon seems to take over social media or claim a spot on your next Spotify Wrapped. This summer is no different thanks to “KPop Demon Hunters,” an animated Netflix movie that follows Rumi, Mira and Zoey — K-pop superstars by day, fierce demon hunters by night.

KPop Demon Hunters has taken over Netflix, and may easily be the best animated movie of 2025. Following girl group Huntrix as they balance their lives as K-pop stars with moonlighting as demon hunters, the movie dives into a thrilling fantasy-inspired, K-pop-powered work of animation that honors South Korean mythology.

The film’s executive music producer Ian Eisendrath tells IndieWire about making sure the music in “KPop Demon Hunters” was true to the K-pop genre.
