‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ Creator Maggie Kang Names Her Favorite Character
SHARE

Maggie Kang, a Korean-American filmmaker, took the opportunity to direct and pitch her own animated film, “Kpop Demon Hunters,” which became a global phenomenon. In a masterclass at the Netflix Creative Asia conference, Kang shared her journey of creating the first feature animation with all Korean characters, filling a gap she had noticed in Hollywood animation.

The idea for the film stemmed from Kang’s fascination with Korean mythology and creatures like dokkaebi, dalsin, and saja. To enhance the story, she incorporated K-pop elements, turning it into a musical spectacle that resonated with audiences worldwide. Kang drew inspiration from Korean shamanic traditions, where music and song were used to ward off demons, infusing the film’s hunters with supernatural powers through song and dance.

In order to authentically represent Korean culture, Kang and her team embarked on a research trip to Korea, visiting iconic locations and incorporating cultural elements into every visual detail. From traditional Korean architecture to taekwondo demonstrations, every aspect of the film was meticulously crafted to showcase the beauty and richness of Korean heritage.

The film’s female lead characters were designed to be both aspirational and uniquely Korean, embodying a sense of beauty and strength that resonated with audiences. The soundtrack, featuring original songs from K-pop producers, became a chart-topping success, further solidifying the film’s impact on the global stage.

Kang praised her collaboration with co-director Chris Appelhans, emphasizing the importance of a strong story and cultural sensitivity in creating a successful film. The unexpected success of “Kpop Demon Hunters” has sparked conversations about potential sequels, though nothing has been confirmed yet.

Overall, the film’s popularity represents a significant win for Korean representation in animation, showcasing the beauty and vibrancy of Korean culture to audiences around the world. As Kang noted, every time someone watches the film on Netflix, they are not just enjoying a movie but also connecting with Korean culture in a meaningful way.
