Why Everyone's Singing Along to K-Pop Demon Hunters

The summer soundtrack of our family has been lifted straight out of K-Pop Demon Hunters. On long summer car rides, Sara's daughter listens with headphones, fearlessly belting along with her husband as they exchange quiet smiles in the front seat. There is a moment she always waits for - when Gen-u thanks Rumi for helping him feel again, offering her his soul. Each time, tears fill her eyes, and she reaches for her mother's hand.

Turning KPop Demon Hunters into a franchise is going to take some smart strategizing

When you watch KPop Demon Hunters, it is easy to see why it has become the most popular movie that Netflix has ever released. The animated musical's story about a trio of pop stars tasked with protecting humanity from monsters is familiar, but refreshingly different and infinitely more stylish than other narratives like it. The soundtrack is full of undeniable bangers that amplify the movie's gorgeous action and never let you forget that it's a celebration of Korean culture.

KPOPPED review making this star-packed singing contest must have been absolutely wild

Megan Thee Stallion. Patti LaBelle. Kylie Minogue. Two-fifths of the Spice Girls. These are just a smattering of the multiplatinum sellers in the all-singing, all-dancing trailer for KPOPPED, which, honestly, looked epic. If I had been reviewing this new Lionel Richie-produced singing contest based on those 109 seconds alone complete with roaring stage pyrotechnics and Megan performing a K-pop version of her smash hit Savage it would have been an easy five stars. Sadly, the series that follows isn't quite as irresistible.

KPopped: the bizarre musical duel where South Korea's hottest stars make the Spice Girls look like dead weight

The format reminds me of PE lessons. You know how gym teachers split groups of friends up, so they concentrate? Here, Korean boy and girl groups such as JO1 and Blackswan are split in half. Each half works with a famous western pop artist, re-tooling their best-known song in K-pop mode. The resulting performances are voted for by the studio audience, and the winner gets well, nothing.
