Netflix has officially given fans their first look at K-Pop Demon Hunters, an upcoming animated film from Sony Pictures Animation (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Mitchells vs. The Machines).
Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the film follows K-pop superstars Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who use their secret identities as demon hunters to protect their fans from ever-present supernatural danger. Together, they must face their biggest threat — an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise.
The full voice cast includes:
- Byung Hun Lee (Squid Game, Mr. Sunshine, The Magnificent Seven)
- Arden Cho (Avatar: The Last Airbender, Partner Track, Teen Wolf)
- Ahn Hyo-seop (A Time Called You, Business Proposal, Dr. Romantic 2 and 3)
- May Hong (Hacks, Full Circle, Fantasmas)
- Ji-young Yoo (Expats, Smoking Tigers, Until Dawn)
- Yunjin Kim (Lost, Money Heist: Korea, XO, Kitty)
- Joel Kim Booster (Loot, Big Mouth, Fire Island)
- Liza Koshy (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, A Family Affair, Players, Work It)
- Daniel Dae Kim (Avatar: The Last Airbender, Lost, Hawaii Five-0)
- Ken Jeong (Dr. Ken, Community, The Masked Singer)
“We have an amazing voice cast, and the range of their performances is what gives the film such an original tone,” Appelhans told Netflix. “Byung Hun Lee and Ahn Hyo-seop bring authentic K-drama emotion, while Arden, May, and Ji-young blend the charisma of legit K-pop stars with the vulnerability and comedy of real young women juggling a dual life like no other.”
The film will also feature original songs performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, REI AMI, Andrew Choi, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, samUIL Lee, Neckwav, and Lea Salonga, as well as a new song from Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung of the K-pop girl group TWICE.
K-Pop Demon Hunters will exclusively debut on Netflix this June 20.
