Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans know this push-and-pull all too well — and their debut, KPop Demon Hunters, is more or less in on the joke. The film, produced by Sony Animation, bottles the essence of the K-pop industry and adds a hilarious supernatural twist for good measure. The Saja Boys become a viral sensation in just a day, launching KPop Demon Hunters into the kind of boy-versus-girl rivalry that riffs on everything from Powerpuff Girls and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Through their plight, KPop Demon Hunters tackles the dark side of the K-pop industry alongside its virtues. KPop Demon Hunters is now streaming on Netflix.
