The Stars of ‘KPop Demon Hunters' on Spotlighting Korean Representation in Animation
Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo star as the girl group Huntrix in Sony Pictures Animation's new feature, coming to Netflix June 20.
After the massive box-office triumph of the Spider-Verse films, Sony Pictures Animation is back with a brand-new hero team-up animated adventure called KPop Demon Hunters. The feature film, which drops on Netflix June 20, follows a girl group named Huntrix who must balance their skyrocketing superstardom with moonlighting as demon hunters, saving the world using the power of music and magical girl action to protect their fans from an impending demonic invasion.
Ahead of its streaming release, io9 spoke to Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo—the voices behind the Huntrix's trio Rumi, Mira, and Zoey—to reflect on the thrill of staring in the film, the importance of meaningful Asian representation in animation, and the unique challenge of bringing its titular down-to-earth, demon-hunting pop stars to life.
Isaiah Colbert, io9: What drew you to starring in KPop Demon Hunters? Were there any elements about the movie's story or characters that immediately gripped you as actors?
Arden Cho: Initially, I just loved the idea. I love K-pop and I'm all about three cool, awesome, badass leads who are Asian American—Korean American to be specific. I loved the story and I was so excited just to be a part of it.
May Hong: I like how tough Mira is, but how vulnerable she actually really is. How sensitive she is. How loyal she is, and I very much relate to that. That really drew me in.
Ji-young Yoo: I'm a big fan of K-pop, and I love doing voice over work so this was the best of both worlds. The more I found out about it, the more I thought it would be so much fun. I mean, from the title alone, anytime I tell my friends the name of the movie, they always start smiling, and I think that's indicative of how fun the film is.
io9: As advertised on the tin.
Yoo: Yes!
io9: Did you draw inspiration from different K-Pop groups or supernatural shows while preparing for your roles in KPop Demon Hunters? Were there any specific performances or series that helped you bring your characters to life?
Cho: For Rumi, I was focusing more on just her experience. She just goes through so much through the movie. She's going through a lot of things. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's a big journey for her. I was focusing a lot on who she was not only as a friend, a sister to the girls, but a leader, and also a slayer. I grew up loving so many shows that are sort of in that world of strong females—Buffy the Vampire Slayer was literally my favorite, always—and so I feel in a sense [that] I wanted Rumi to be very strong and grounded. But also sweet and cute. We can't take credit for the music stuff because we're not in that part of the girls, but I definitely wanted her to be as cool as Blackpink, Aespa, Le Sserafim, and everybody. It exceeded my expectations. But I feel like I didn't do much for that. I can't really take credit for that. I feel like that was the world that was created for us.
Hong: I thought a lot about Sailor Moon. I grew up watching it and I was so excited to see it and doing the comps of who everyone is, too. Whenever we would play Sailor Moon, I always wanted to be Sailor Jupiter.
Cho: Wait, that's so fitting.
Hong: I know, and I feel like Mira is a different version of Sailor Jupiter. I think the inspiration—they're hidden identities—I think it's funny that they transform and they look exactly the same but just [have] different outfits. I feel like Cowboy Bebop was a huge inspiration for me. I think about it a lot, and how much that music is so fully integrated into the story, and how crucial it is to sound and look like that. It feels like a perfect merger of those two things.
Yoo: I don't know if I had specific things that I did research into because I think this is such an original tone. You didn't really need to pull references. But as I began to talk about it with my friends more, I realized that there were things in the back of my head that were floating around and definitely influencing it. I grew up on Totally Spies and Kim Possible. I would say that Zoey has got a little bit of Starfire from Teen Titans—the original show, not Teen Titans Go. I'm a big fan of BTS, so that's always in the back of my head.
Actually, I had a really funny conversation with a friend where he asked me if [KPop Demon Hunters] was anything like Jujutsu Kaisen. Which it kind of is. We're exorcising demons, but tonally not nearly as dark. I'm such a fan of the show that I wondered if it affected my performance at all. I don't think I'll ever know consciously. Maybe people can watch the movie and let me know.
io9: KPop Demon Hunters brilliantly captures both the stunning beauty of the idol scene and the gremlin nature of the three girls, where they get chibi and very animated at each other. Was this distinct animation style where you had to do the voiceover afterwards, or did you do the voiceover and Sony Pictures animated their expressions to match yours during production?
Cho: I remember my first few sessions, we just did the voice, and they'd film us. So I did feel a little shy.
Hong: (Laughs)The internal video, like, where is that?
Cho: (Laughs) Yeah, I'm like showing up to work in my pajamas, no makeup on. All these cameras are set up and I'm like, 'Oh no, wait what's happening!' They're like, 'Oh no no, it's just for art!' and I'm like, 'Yes… art.'
Yoo: (Laughs) I'm guessing that the chibi style was always a part of the plan, but there were definitely moments where I'd finish a line reading and they'd be like, 'We should note that take. Whatever face she was doing was perfect' and I was like 'I don't know if I like that.'
Cho: I feel like the animation, the weirder, the uglier, it was so perfect. That's what makes it fun. We don't have to feel shy about it even though I felt shy in the beginning and then I got used to it.
Yoo: I guess the answer is we don't know. Probably. Kind of. Maybe. Yes?
Hong: (Laughs) We didn't see anything. We just scream, and they would take videos that were used.
Cho: We don't know. We just show up and they make it awesome. I know the eating stuff I'd always feel so silly too. The funny eating noises I'd struggle with those. Some of those are hard. I ate a lot and they wanted more funnier (mouth noises), but when you're actually eating, you don't make those sounds to make it more fun.
Hong: (Laughs) Speak for yourself.
Yoo: (Laughs) Yeah, I was gonna say that sounds exactly like how I eat.
io9: Were there any funny, memorable bloopers that happened during your recording sessions?
Yoo: Too many to count, man.
Hong: A lot of running to be out of breath. I think I felt the most goofy probably doing laps or I'd need to genuinely do three more laps to sound out of breath. But then everyone is watching me run in circles for a while.
Cho: All the action stuff was pretty silly and fun. Rumi has some romantic things that are cute. In the voiceover world, you're doing it all alone, so you feel super awkward. But it's awesome and it comes together so beautifully.
Hong: Oh, also the bar. There's a little guardrail that's in front of the mic. I'd hold it and run in place. It's almost like an exercise.
Cho: Oh yeah. I was jumping on that and holding on for dear life the whole time.
Yoo: It almost looks like a mini ballet bar and they'd put it in front of the mic and you can use it to lean on. I climbed on top of it.
Hong: Who would have thought of that. Genius.
Yoo: Voiceover is kind of one big blooper.
Cho: It really is. The days where you're eating a ton and doing all the fun sounds and then after you're doing a lot of jumping around action and you're like, 'Oh no, that was too soon. That's why they say don't go swimming right after eating.' It was all fun.
io9: How meaningful is it for you to be part of a Sony Pictures Animated film that aimed to go beyond the surface-level appeal of K-pop and action to authentically highlight Korean roots in its storytelling?
Cho: It's so special that they are so respectful to the Korean culture in the food, the city, and the world. It's so magical to see how big and beautiful it's been created in the world of KPop Demon Hunters. It's also really cool to see these young women who, yes, they're Korean, but they're also just girls struggling with things that are very, well, normal, but not normal. Normal if demons were—well maybe they are here?
Hong: (Laughs) Are they in the room with us?
Cho: (Laughs) You know how people have their demons? The metaphor.
Hong: (Laughs) Yes. I love the universal pain and suffering of it all. At first I was, 'Is this Korean?' It felt like it hit some chords for me, but then it was 'This is just everyone.'
Cho: It definitely hit those identity battles and the whole, 'Who am I really? Am I hiding something?' The struggles that Rumi goes through, in an odd way, I related to so much being Korean American. I feel like that in itself is so relatable, but also so special because it's something that involves so much of our culture, history, story, and where we come from.
Hong: And it also makes Seoul look so glorious, and it is glorious. Though fictionalized, hopefully, it makes people more interested in actually going.
io9: If KPop Demon Hunters were to receive a sequel, what would you love to explore about your characters in the future?
Yoo: When the movie comes out, I do actually have a very specific pitch that I've already told [directors] Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans about. For Zoey, some of the stuff she's going through being the only Asian American in the group [where] she feels out of place some of the time, which I think is very resonate with anyone. I would love to see her find a place where she doesn't feel like she needs to please as much. She spends a lot of her energy trying to make sure everyone else is okay, and I want Zoey to check in on whether Zoey is okay. Maybe that's the sequel.
KPop Demon Hunters premieres on Netflix June 20.

Japan's Yuya Danzuka Mines Family Drama and Urban Design for Breakout Directorial Debut ‘Brand New Landscape'
As a work of fiction, Japanese director Yuya Danzuka's Brand New Landscape would stand out as both an intellectually precocious and impressively assured debut feature. The 26-year-old became the youngest filmmaker ever showcased in the Cannes Film Festival's Directors' Fortnight section last month, where he earned widespread praise for his elegant interweaving of a Japanese family's emotional unraveling with meditations on Tokyo's ceaseless cycles of alienation and renewal. But what many Western critics overlooked is that the film isn't merely an above-average entry in the arthouse family drama canon — it's also a bold and provocative act of autobiography. Brand New Landscape begins with a summer getaway descending into quiet desperation. Shortly after arriving at their seaside vacation home, aspiring landscape designer Hajime (Kenichi Endo) abruptly announces that a pressing career opportunity is calling him back to the city. The exhausted resignation in his wife's protests makes clear this is far from the first time he's prioritized his artistic calling over family, and their marriage is in its final stages of decay. As the father creeps off and the mother, Yumiko (Haruka Igawa), settles into a depressive funk, sideways on a sofa, their two children retreat into isolation, the son alone with his soccer ball and the teenage daughter taking refuge in a novel. Danzuka frames these scenes with patient precision, demonstrating a keen sense of spatial awareness. More from The Hollywood Reporter OUTtv: They're Here, They're Queer, They're Canadian! BritBox Greenlights Contemporary Adaptation of Agatha Christie's 'Tommy & Tuppence' Al Pacino Meets Pope Leo XIV, Becoming First Movie Star to Get an Audience With American Pontiff The narrative then leaps a decade forward, finding the family fractured. Yumiko has died — by suicide, it's implied — and Hajime, having left the children years earlier to work on prominent projects abroad, has found acclaim. The son, Ren (a marvelously recalcitrant Kodai Kurosaki), is now drifting through Tokyo, working aimlessly as a flower deliveryman, while the daughter, Emi (Mai Kiryu), is preparing to marry her longtime boyfriend but seems to have little confidence that the institution serves much purpose beyond putting painful family history in the past. When Ren delivers flowers to an upscale gallery, he discovers that his father has returned to Tokyo for a grand retrospective of his work. Hajime has also signed on to a controversial redevelopment of one of Tokyo's city parks, an ambitious exercise in cutting-edge urban design that will also entail the forcible removal of a large group of unhoused people. Their chance reunion sparks an emotional reckoning. While Hajime remains emotionally obtuse and absorbed in his architecture and a budding new romance with an underling, Ren tentatively seeks a reconciliation, while Emi openly resists any reunion. Danzuka thoughtfully explores emotional vacancy — not only in the characters but in the cold, imposing city spaces they move through. As the camera impassively observes the transformation of Tokyo's urban landscape, it becomes a metaphor for the characters' internal architecture: fractured and alienated, but also beautiful and forever seeking reconfiguration through some inexpressible need to carry on. Throughout, Danzuka establishes himself as a formalist with a mature and impressively deft touch, using stillness, distance, and spatial tension to evoke the listlessness of Japanese youth and the lingering ache of familial absence. But in a country and culture that places a high value on personal discretion and family privacy, Danzuka's full project is far bolder than this formal restraint would suggest. 'The characters are based on each member of my real family and the story is what we went through,' Danzuka tells The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the film's screening at the Shanghai International Film Festival's Asian New Talent competition. Yuya Danzuka's father, celebrated landscape designer Eiki Danzuka, is widely recognized in Japan for his once-controversial but now widely acclaimed redevelopment of Tokyo's Miyashita Park — the very urban landmark the young director scrutinizes aesthetically and ethically throughout his film. 'I've always carried complicated feelings about Tokyo's relentless transformation, and the way the past is constantly disappearing into the future here,' says Danzuka, who grew up in the city. 'When that unease around the urban landscape began to intersect with deeply personal emotions I have about my family, I realized I might be able to turn these connections into a film.' He adds: 'For many, the background — the city — is public, and family is private. But I grew up in Tokyo, witnessing my family change and Tokyo itself evolve simultaneously, and the feelings I experienced as both changed rapidly and beyond my control — it was all connected.' Working with cinematographer Koichi Furuya, Danzuka crafted his distinctive observational style emphasizing how spaces shape emotional experiences. 'The camera's placement was essential,' he explains. 'When viewing the world through the camera, the characters fill only a small area, with the city, architecture, and nature dominating the rest of the frame. By giving equal care to the spaces and surroundings as we did to the actors, we hoped to convey a sense of impartiality, which would emphasize their emotional transformations.' From his vantage, Danzuka says the film is fully non-fictional, but he acknowledges the epistemological limits to his perspective, too. 'My father and sister carry pain similar to mine but different,' he says. 'We all carry distinct feelings about what happened within our family, so it's difficult for me to precisely say where the fiction and autobiography begin and end in my version of our story.' While Danzuka had indeed been estranged from his father for a period, he shared the screenplay with him prior to filming and received his blessing to openly explore his architectural work and their shared history. His father first saw the finished film at its Cannes premiere. 'I didn't speak with him directly at the premiere, but I heard he was very emotional,' Danzuka says. 'Our relationship continues to evolve, like the characters. The film is about evolution, emotions tied to landscapes, respect for past generations' memories, and the cycle of things vanishing and new things emerging.' He concludes: 'Before making this film, I hadn't thought deeply about landscapes and spaces. It has deepened my appreciation for my father's work — and I think he has gained a greater respect for filmmaking, too.'

A New Blu-ray Collection Opens the Warner Bros. Animation Vault — and Finds 50 Treasures Inside
In May of 2023, Warner Bros. released a collection of classic cartoons on Blu-ray through their boutique Warner Archive label that was directly aimed at serious enthusiasts. That set, 'Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 1,' was pure gold for animation fans, featuring 25 cartoons that had never been released on DVD or Blu-ray in remastered form. The positive response from lovers of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig led to three more volumes, each collecting 25 new shorts that were meticulously restored and presented in exquisite transfers. More from IndieWire '28 Years Later' Review: A Tender, Thoughtful, and Strangely Moving Sequel to One of the Scariest Zombie Movies Ever How 'Materialists' Finds True Love in New York City Now, Warner Archive is continuing their mission with 'Looney Tunes Collector's Vault: Volume 1,' a set that continues the label's previous work and expands on it. 'I decided that instead of releasing a Volume 5 with the same curation criteria we would expand to 2-disc collections,' film historian George Feltenstein, who oversees the Warner Archive label, told IndieWire. 'The idea was to expand the variety of classic cartoons offered by letting the first disc continue the mission of what we had established with the Collector's Choice releases — 25 cartoons not previously available on DVD or Blu-ray in remastered form as part of a WB classic collection,' he said. 'However, the addition of the second disc would contain 25 cartoons that have been available in standard definition on DVD, but had yet to be included remastered in High Definition on a Blu-ray disc.' Among the newly included cartoons are several fan favorites and rarities, including choice selections by legendary director Chuck Jones. Feltenstein said that choosing favorites is difficult since he, in collaboration with animation historian Jerry Beck, selected all the cartoons, but he has particular fondness for the 1945 Jones short 'Hare Conditioned.' In this hilarious cartoon, Bugs Bunny faces a threat from a department store manager who wants to get Bugs stuffed in the taxidermy department. 'Most of the Warner Bros. animation directors had their take on Bugs, but Jones' work with the character just seemed to get better and better over the years,' Feltenstein said. 'This is a relatively early Jones/Bugs cartoon, but it has been a favorite since childhood.' Feltenstein also points to Jones' 1948 Daffy Duck short 'Daffy Dilly' as a treasure that exhibits Daffy's evolution under Jones' direction. 'I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck Jones late in his life, and we spoke at length about his work at Warner Bros.,' Feltenstein said. 'He once told me — and I assume he told this to many — that Bugs Bunny, for him, represented the kind of individual we aspire to be, and that Daffy Duck was the individual we are afraid we're really more like. I thought his statement was quite brilliant.' In choosing the cartoons for the Warner Archive collections, Feltenstein and Beck — who have been collaborating on the programming of classic animation releases going back to the laserdisc era — asked themselves what the fans would want, which isn't difficult since they're fans themselves. In addition to the Jones shorts, other highlights in the vault collection include Friz Freleng's 'Each Dawn I Crow' (1949) with Elmer Fudd from 1949, and 'The Goofy Gophers,' which was released in 1947. ''The Goofy Gophers' features the screen debut of the characters 'Mac and Tosh,' who appeared in several successive cartoons, but this was their introduction to the big screen,' Feltenstein said. 'It was allegedly started by legendary animator Bob Clampett, but the balance of the work was taken over by Arthur Davis after Clampett's sudden departure from the studio.' In addition to his work on the Warner animation collections, Feltenstein oversees a wide array of releases from the studio's live-action catalogue, often putting out pristine releases of classics as well as cult favorites and idiosyncratic oddities. Recent months have seen new Blu-rays of titles as varied as the criminally underrated Ryan Reynolds/Amy Smart comedy 'Just Friends,' Vincente Minnelli's visually stunning melodrama 'The Cobweb,' and the blaxploitation gem 'Melinda,' just to name a few. 'We are usually working on several dozen releases at any given time, in various stages of production,' Feltenstein. 'This requires very close coordination with other departments, so we can make sure that our efforts are synchronized with the company's dedication to preservation efforts.' Right now, the Warner Archive Collection is the only studio-based 'boutique' label, dedicated to what physical media collectors want most, and Feltenstein takes his role as curator seriously. 'There are many factors that go into what can get released, and what is still waiting,' Feltenstein said. 'We also have various groups of die-hard enthusiast consumers who each want to make their voices heard loudly about what they want to see released. We're listening, and our goal is to try and please all the different fan factions.' Ultimately, Feltenstein's work is complicated but his mission is simple: to get as much of the Warners library released from the vaults and onto the shelves of home viewers. It's a mission he's been on for over 16 years that has now yielded several thousand releases; given how strong the company's recent releases have been, here's hoping there are thousands more to come.

Everything to Remember from ‘Squid Game' Season 1 and 2
After taking the world by storm in 2021, the curtain is about to close on Hwang Dong-hyuk's 'Squid Game.' Where Season 2 premiered over three years after its predecessor, 'Squid Game 3' hits Netflix barely six months on the heels of that. Season 2's characters, stakes, and cliffhanger might be fresh in the minds of many, but it's worth revisiting details all of 'Squid Game' ahead of its final hurrah. More from IndieWire 'Matlock' Production Designer Adam Rowe on How Two Canceled Shows Gave the CBS Hit Its Scale 'Nobody Wants This' Creator Erin Foster Set Out to Make Her Own 'Fleabag' - Her 'Really Sweet' Rom-Com Took Her by Surprise In case you haven't made the time to re-binge all of Season 1 and 2 (or even if you have!), here's a refresher on what happened in 'Squid Game' and what might be critical to Season 3. While most of the characters from Season 1 are dead, Season 2's key players are still at large — but in terrible danger unless Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) succeeds in his master plan. In Season 1, our protagonist was a little selfish, a bit bumbling, but a sweet guy who wanted to provide for his mother and daughter. But after a week in the Games and watching hundreds of people die violently before him due to the whims of the wealthy — not to mention his mother's sudden death during that time — Gi-hun turned into a grave, hardened, and barely recognizable person (and not just because of that drastic dye job). In the years between his first and second time in the Game, Gi-hun appears to have barely kept in touch with his daughter, who moved to America with her mother and stepfather, or with Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), one of his remaining friends. He spent the prize money only on his search for the Games, part of a greater mission to end them for good. And the smile from his old player ID? Gone, probably forever. In Season 1, Gi-hun and the other players took a vote on whether or not to stay in the game after Red Light, Green Light — a vote which ended in them going home and returning to their lives. But shortly after, many took the opportunity to return to the games, risking their lives rather than keep the ones they had. This voting returned in Season 2 as a perverse ritual; after an initial vote to stay, players were required to vote again after every game; and every time so far, they've stayed. Each person received a patch to wear on their tracksuit indicating how they voted — essentially creating two factions within the dorms. Players have tried to appeal to those on opposing sides, or resorted to more violent means when that doesn't work. In Season 1, Gi-hun filed a police report about everything he saw in the games, which prompted police officer Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) to sneak in as a guard — and learn that his missing brother In-ho (Lee Byung-hun) is none other than Front Man, the highest-ranking authority within the game and a former winner. The brothers faced off in the Season 1 finale, with Jun-ho taking a bullet and falling off a cliff… but his quest to expose the games didn't end there. In-ho had a pregnant wife before he entered the Games, but she died while waiting for him to secure funds for her surgery. With nothing left to fight for, he joined the Games and became the Front Man. In Season 2, he joins the games undercover, casting the first decisive vote to keep playing before switching sides and gaining Gi-hun's trust (but ultimately losing Jung-bae's when he kills someone during the game 'Mingle'). Gi-hun and Jun-ho teamed up in Season 2, before Gi-hun decided to reenter the games and lost all contact with the outside world. While he risks his life in the competition and tries to save individual players, Jun-ho is on a boat with a team of mercenaries determined to find the island. But as the Season 2 finale revealed, their biggest threat is the boat captain, who is not what he seems. Plenty of players are content to dispense with societal decorum and start fully murdering each other in the Games — but not Gi-hun. He never partook of dormitory violence, sacrificed other players, or even pushed them to create a disadvantage. He won the Games on a technicality, because Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo) stabbed himself after all the death and pain he wrought. And until shooting at the masked guards in Season 2, Gi-hun hadn't killed or tried to harm anyone, even if he felt the desire — but he stands as evidence that violence leaves a mark even upon those who survive and witness it. He feels blood on his hands from what he's seen, if not anything he's done. But now that he shot at those guards, waged a failed rebellion, and lost his last friend, what new lengths might our hero go to in the end? As of the Season 2 finale, surviving players include ex-military members Hyun-ju (Park Sung-hoon) and Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul), mother and son duo Geum-ja (Kang Ae-shim) and Young-sik (Yang Dong-geun), expecting mother Jun-hee (Jo Yuri), and several others of note (R.I.P. Thanos). In-ho is back in his role as Front Man after the psychological experiment of entering the games and befriending Gi-hun, while No-eul (Park Gyuyoung) will continue to offer viewers a look inside the guards' lives. Many of these supported Gi-hun's rebellion even if they didn't take part actively (or in some cases, both — looking at you, Dae-ho), which means they relied on him to get them out of the Games. That trust may be shaken now, along with Gi-hun's actual ability to save them. Before he enters the game, Gi-hun is seen trying to make ends meet in his daily life, including daytime gambling with old friend Jung-bae. In Season 2, they met in the game, immediately giving Gi-hun something to fight for, but also something to lose. In the Season 2 finale, the Front Man killed Jung-bae right in front of him, another devastating death on Gi-hun's conscience. 'Squid Game 3' premieres June 27 on Netflix.
