KPop Demon Hunters Visual History

The release of an official art book underscores just how much KPop Demon Hunters has resonated as a cultural and artistic phenomenon. The film has already broken global viewership records for Netflix, making it one of the platform’s most successful animated originals.

By giving fans access to the visual and creative origins of the movie, the art book functions as both a celebration of the film’s success and a window into the craft of animation. It invites a deeper appreciation of the filmmakers’ design and research– from character costumes and weapon designs to stylized settings and choreography references.

According to Cartoon Brew the co-directors had this to say about the influence of Korean Pop Culture on the show,

Maggie Kang talked about creating the show based on Korean culture.

“Growing up watching movies set in other Asian cultures, I wanted to see the Korean culture represented in an animated movie. For some reason, I landed on demonology. I thought about how the jeoseung saja (grim reapers) was such an iconic image from my childhood, and thought of demons naturally led to demon hunters. And I knew I wanted to see female superheroes who were a lot more relatable, who like to eat and make silly faces… not just being pretty, sexy, and cool, but with real insecurities.”

Chris Appelhans said,

“What’s wonderful about K-pop in the modern world is just the way that it brings people together, with so much empathy. It crosses all boundaries, all cultural borders. For us to come up with a mythology that taps into the truth of what this music does feels powerful.”

The art book is for fans, artists, and animation enthusiasts, showcasing what made KPop Demon Hunters remarkable in the first place.
