‘KPop Demon Hunters’ director hints at potential sequel

If you haven’t seen “K-Pop Demon Hunters,” the film directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans follows a world-renowned K-pop girl group that secretly battles demons. Since its release on Netflix, this genre-blending movie has climbed to the top of the streaming service’s most-watched list and has even won over K-pop skeptics.

In an interview with Screen Rant, co-director Maggie Kang discussed the possibility of a sequel. She stated, “Always. There are always side stories, and there are things we’ve thought of while making this one. There are a lot of questions that are answered, but not fully. I think there are a lot of pockets that we can explore.” Additionally, Arden Cho, who voices the lead vocalist in the movie, caused some excitement on social media when she tweeted at Netflix, saying, “Can we be #1 until Netflix confirms a sequel? Pretty please. ”

In addition to being Netflix’s most-streamed movie for several weeks, “KPop Demon Hunters” features several songs from the film that have made it onto the Billboard Hot 100. Notably, the song “Golden” reached the top 10.

This comes as no surprise, as the film features collaborations with real K-pop producers, including Teddy Park, who has worked with K-pop girl group Blackpink, and Grammy winner Lindgren, who has worked with groups such as BTS and Twice.
