| Summary, Etc. |
Few films have taken the world by storm quite like KPop Demon Hunters, an Academy Award-winning sensation overflowing with dazzling animation, unforgettable characters, and tenaciously catchy songs. At the film's center is the chart-topping girl group HUNTR/X, whose three members (Rumi, Mira, and Zoey) have been busy juggling the pressures of stardom with their secret duty to shield their fans from supernatural forces. When their demon enemies suddenly take the form of a rival boy band, the trio must overcome their deepest self-doubts and use their music to protect humanity. Richly layered with references to Korean culture, both ancient and modern, this generation-bridging phenomenon has inspired millions of fans with its message of friendship and self-acceptance.
