Will the 'KPop Demon Hunters' Follow-Up Explore the Team’s Origins?

I’ve been following all the buzz around KPop Demon Hunters, and it’s no surprise this animated musical movie has become the biggest hit on Netflix right now.

From the moment it arrived, the film’s mix of high-energy K-pop, supernatural action, and an all-female demon-hunting team made it impossible to ignore. With talk of a sequel already swirling, I can’t help but imagine where the story could go next in the world of Huntr/x.

Karen Kang on the Challenges of KPop Demon Hunters

Director Maggie Kang revealed that the biggest challenge with KPop Demon Hunters was creating a "non-origin origin story."

As she said, "We really had to make these choices of what is essential to the story, and that is the information that we will show."

That balance of action, music, and character development was key, and I think they nailed it — even if it left me wanting more about the girls’ backstories.

What KPop Demon Hunters Is About

For those who haven’t seen it yet, KPop Demon Hunters follows a team of young women who hunt demons in a world where music and magic collide.

It’s a wild mix of K-pop performances, supernatural battles, and the bonds of friendship that tie the Huntr/x team together. Knowing this makes me even more curious about the deeper stories of each character, which a sequel could finally explore.

Why a Sequel Could Be Even Bigger

If a follow-up happens, I have a feeling it could reveal the secrets behind how each member was chosen, their journey into Huntr/x, and the moments that made them demon hunters.

The first movie gave us the action and spectacle, but a sequel could turn KPop Demon Hunters into a full-blown saga with richer backstory and character depth. Personally, I’d love to see it go there.

For me, the first movie was just the tip of the iceberg. A sequel could make KPop Demon Hunters not just a fun Netflix hit, but a story that fans remember for years.
