When Sony Photos Pictures are first announced KPOP Demons hunters Back in 2021, the director, author, and the long K-Pop Devotee Maggie Kang (Lego Ninjago movie) They saw the project as a loving book in the early days of the Korean culture of Korean. Meeting the Director of Chris Appelhans (Wish Dragon)Kang has been set up by the film that includes the attractive accuracy of K-pop choreoregraphy with the Virgin Girl Attitude, all were threatened in Anyring Adventure Nhiririjx on June 20.
KPOP Demons hunters Following Hunttrix, a group of girls made by Rumi, Mira, and Zooey (expressed by Ard Cho Mo, as Pop Rots, as Pop Red Remmemons attacking one’s place under Sining GWWI command (played Squid game‘Lee Byung-Hun). Prevention of girls cover the land in the healing of their music healing, combines the only plan that can threaten their Diehard’s reliability: Superborband rival called Saja boys.
Before film issues, IO9 spoke Kang and Appelhands about how they rated the expected K-Pop Superfans, and their first fictional expectations.
Isaiah Colbert, IO9: What makes the idea of covers the world of K-pop gods for the personality? Was it a descriptive moment or inspiration resulting in a different combination of music and a more than a global action?
Maggie Kang: It began to conceive as a hunter Demonizer was that it was a great group of women including demons from Korea – a movie set in modern Korea. The whole of its pop was very kind of the last thing added because hunting demons are often made on black roads. Not in front of people. I just wanted the girls to have a photo looking at the public and the K-pop sounds like a cool item to set up the movie to. Naturally make it a music and give it to that show and a measure.

IO9: Obviously that topic KPOP Demons hunters It puts high expectations of the creative function and the order of dynamic dance. KPOP Demons hunters Naturally treats a lot of pressure, especially K-POP fans are eagerly awaiting you. How did the party pass that challenge and ensure that the film was brought before?
Kang: It was difficult. It is a very reliable, donated Fanbase to expect a lot from all respects. Even if it is design, lighting, photos, make sure that it will help you what we see in K-POP today. The engagement videos we see so beautiful. It was like “how do we take so good that they act like real people [and] Bring you a powder and suggest that? “Even a little K-Drama flights and the loudspeaker of music is very good. It was a challenge to bring to Animation Medium and it is,” OK, all these wonderful things have done. How do we take one step? “There was so much to find out how they do now and how we can take notch because we have pictures.
Chris Aplls Applelhans: I think Maggie is very similar to the Maggie and when we try to make it a hope that we think, otherwise that we will like it. That’s what you said, a love letter from the Medium we know really well. We know this special thing you can’t do, too.
Kang: Watching it as a person’s own and wants to push the middle,[and] being our cruel critics.
One of the most difficult things to do for US artists are imitating to create a powerful movement of pieces of jewelry.
In these rumi clothes contain more than 35 pieces of jewelry from the earrings to the chains.
¿The most complicated piece? Shoulders of Mina shoulders !!

Io9: What was the most exciting time in guidance KPOP Demons huntersWhen you hit a moment of Eureka in production when you feel sincerely brought you different and special health?
APPELHANS: In paragraphs. Different situations bring a different part of promise. I remember maggies that make certain funny records one of the girl’s discussion and seeing in Animation daily – that straight jokes don’t like, “oh girls will be very beautiful, and attractive.” And for the first time to see the big choreo and puppy. Some of our Korean creators have some things that we did not ask themselves, just take it and run with her, and we got butterflies. Such as, “Look, oh my goos. We can do this.” We looked at the boxes that were part of the entire soup.
Kang: With me and me. Finding the language of their eyes and the same mouths of Korea, we demanded talks so much to feel about the Korean language, even though they were speaking in English. One of the solutions we received – one of our wonderful pictures Sofia [Seung Hee Lee]Inadequeling the mouth corner was very useful for them to feel. That kind of outstanding finding some design languages and style really brings out those problems.
APPELHANS: Every time we hear the song version that we’ve heard it did – even if it was a third try or my song started to beat and when it was heard.
My only contribution to KPOP Demon Hunter. The shouting letters appear to be my thing.
Congrats on all others who work hard to this movie! @Sonyanimation Pic.Twitter.com/z48xjslspn

I9: Talking about POP songs, the film also has donated contributions from twice-skilled members. How have you spoken together with K-POP singers to bring music items to KPOP Demons hunters In life? What was the process of ensuring that the soundtrack never gave a film only but also filled its emotional rate?
Kang: It was very important for all the movie to live in that K-pop space. And working with the actual K-Pop singer felt that he was finally authorized by our project in K-POP. Working with a black label and all these wonderful pop writers who wrote bts, twice, and eventually partnering twice. Ian Esendrath, our senior producer, and Sony music really wanted the album to feel like a real, K-pop album, so they brought this amazing group and created a clinging album.
Io9: rSadly, films with pictures are like Red turns including Ultraman: increases Show the animation power as both intermediate and bridge into lovely FANANs, such as K-Pop and tokusatsus. These films do not stop active images and bring life to fandoms available but also remove Asian heritage and allow letters to focus on their true record. What was the most important to measure the K-POP complaint about the importance of Asian characters led by Asian characters?
Kang: Another way of answering that to Animation, tell us many stories about lifeless things [and] different animals. We will also consider traditionally special in a different way in a different way in the world. It really promises that we see many films and puppies told with a different cultural lens. It is very important to try to install as big variations as possible from Animation because, mainly, is still considered a way in the middle of young audience. We have all these different films around the world show that and it sounds like we didn’t do that yet in the picture. I think that is something we really need to give more differences about this section to Animation.
APPELHANS: What I saw in my 25-year years do this about how much more Crews varies today, and that means everything. Because there is Maggie showing the first vision, there are experienced Korean artists and the tales of each department, and they do not need homework. It is their tricky experience of bringing them, their influences, interests that did not emphasize as singers. That allows us to make more popular films, starting than what could be 25 years ago. Type of Happiness under the hood, but it really promises and makes fun.
IO9: What do audiences and their fellow colleagues in Animation take away from seeing KPOP Demons hunters Seeking to share this worldwide story with the world?
Kang: Nothing like a film showing that no matter where you are speaking, which culture you grew, whether you are nearby, whether you are a demon, everyone feels the same things about people. Telling the news about the biggest Korean characters and talks about the best Korean look, I hope the audience and photographers realize that we are finally dating.
KPOP Demons hunters Streams in Netflix begins on June 20.
