The exciting news follows the film's unmatched acclaim, with the 2025 smash hit claiming over 10 major nominations this award season. With the 98th annual Academy Awards ceremony rapidly approaching, internet buzz is at an all-time high for the animated classic. Going into Oscar weekend, KPop Demon Hunters is nominated in two major categories, including Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
KPop Demon Hunters follows the story of a Korean Pop group HUNTR/X, and their double life as demon hunters. Throughout the film, the starring ladies—Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho, singing by EJAE), Mira (voiced by May Hong, singing by Audrey Nuna), and Zoey (voiced by Ji-young Yoo, singing by Rei Ami)—navigate balancing their superstardom and a seemingly imminent demon takeover. The film highlights themes of self-acceptance and friendship through dynamic characters and catchy tunes, making its immediate success unsurprising.

"I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters. There’s so much more to this world we have built and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning,” Kang said. Appelhans added, “These characters are like family to us, their world has become our second home. We’re excited to write their next chapter, challenge them and watch them evolve—and continue pushing the boundaries of how music, animation and story can come together."
“With KPop Demon Hunters, Maggie and Chris didn’t just reach audiences, they ignited a global fandom that crossed languages, generations, and genres. We’re incredibly proud to deepen our partnership with them and, together with our partners at Sony Pictures Animation, build this universe in ways that will surprise and delight fans all over the world,” Bajaria said.
