From the studio that brought the iconic Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse, Sony is working on K-pop: Demon Hunters. A musical about a K-pop girl group who double as demon hunters trying to balance their everyday lives.

Kang tells Variety, “Having been a fan of the genre since its beginnings in the ’90s, this film is my love letter to K-Pop and my Korean roots. It encompasses and celebrates everything K-Pop is – it’s the film I would want to see as a lifelong fan and I hope the millions of K-Pop fans out there in the world will feel the same.”

Co-director, Applehans, is also excited to celebrate the power of music through animated film. He also discusses the greatness that is K-pop. He says, “K-Pop is the greatest embodiment of this in our lifetime, and we’re really excited to honor and showcase that through the lens of animation.”
