For director Maggie Kang (“The Lego Ninjago Movie”), “KPop: Demon Hunters,” from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation, represents the fulfillment of a 20-year desire to make an animated movie about Korean culture. But what began as an exploration of demonology evolved into an explosive mashup of action and K-pop.

Sony Pictures Animation’s latest brings K-pop idols, magical girl powers, and demon-slaying action to Netflix June 20.

Hong and Ji-young Yoo told UPI their animated film, "KPop Demon Hunters," on Netflix Friday, was even better than they imagined thanks to the animation and music.
