<Golden>

Chương trình tvN <You Quiz on the Block> đã mời Maggie Kang – đạo diễn của 《K-Pop Demon Hunters》 – tham gia và chia sẻ những câu chuyện liên quan đến tác phẩm. Dưới đây là phần tổng hợp nội dung đó. ㅡCâu nói “cái gì mang đậm chất Hàn Quốc nhất thì sẽ mang tính toàn cầu nhất” đã trở thành hiện thực.Maggie Kang – Tôi cũng không hề biết rằng một bộ phim lại có thể nổi tiếng đến mức này.Yoo Jae-suk – Sự kết hợp giữa K-pop và văn hóa Hàn Quốc trong quá trình đối đầu với ác quỷ đúng là “một nước đi thần thánh”.ㅡNội dung kể về nhóm nhạc nữ bảo vệ thế giới khỏi ác quỷ mang tên “Huntress”, sử dụng âm nhạc K-pop, trong bối cảnh Hàn Quốc, nơi họ bảo vệ người hâm mộ khỏi nhóm nhạc nam ác quỷ “Saja Boys”.ㅡSau khi ra mắt vào tháng 6, đứng hạng 1 tại 43 quốc gia.ㅡTổng lượt xem tích lũy vượt mốc 236 triệu lượt.ㅡTrở thành bộ phim có lượt xem cao nhất lịch sử Netflix.ㅡHiện tại vẫn đang liên tục phá kỷ lục.ㅡOST <GOLDEN> đứng hạng 1 Billboard HOT100, hạng 1 UK Official Singles Chart, 8 ca khúc OST đồng loạt chiếm lĩnh các bảng xếp hạng âm nhạc. Yoo Jae-suk – Anh/chị có dự đoán được cơn sốt này không?Maggie Kang – Khi làm nhạc, tôi chỉ mong các fan K-pop sẽ đón nhận những bài hát này đúng như K-pop, và xem Huntress hay Saja Boys như những nhóm idol thật sự. Nhưng việc ca khúc của chúng tôi leo lên Billboard thì tôi hoàn toàn không nghĩ tới. Điều đó thật sự quá kỳ diệu. Việc Huntress và Saja Boys “đối đầu” nhau ngay trên bảng xếp hạng Billboard cũng rất kỳ lạ.ㅡTình huống trong phim đã trở thành hiện thực (Soda Pop, Golden).ㅡCa khúc <GOLDEN> do chính Lee Jae sáng tác và thể hiện – người được chú ý khi tiết lộ từng là thực tập sinh SM suốt 10 năm!Maggie Kang – Tôi đã tận mắt thấy cảnh thu âm <Golden> ở New York. Anh ấy hát những nốt cao liên tiếp 20–30 lần. Đây là một bài hát cực kỳ khó hát. Chính tôi đã yêu cầu anh ấy làm cho bài hát trở nên khó. Bởi vì khi nghe những ca khúc có âm vực cao, cảm xúc sẽ được đẩy lên. Tôi muốn tạo ra một bài hát mang lại cảm giác dâng trào, bởi bộ phim của chúng tôi mang năng lượng tích cực.Yoo Jae-suk – Trong lời bài hát cũng liên tục xuất hiện chữ “UP”, đúng không?Lời bài hátㅡWe’re goin’ up, up, up, it’s our moment.ㅡYou know together we’re glowingㅡGonna be, gonna be golden ㅡVới thông điệp tươi sáng, mạnh mẽ và điệp khúc gây nghiện, <Golden> đã lan truyền trên SNS qua thử thách cover.ㅡSức hút lan tỏa tới mọi lứa tuổi, không phân biệt nam nữ.ㅡHàng loạt bản parody cũng lần lượt xuất hiện.ㅡChỉ chiếu trong 2 ngày nhưng đã đứng hạng 1 phòng vé Mỹ… doanh thu 25 tỷ won.ㅡ“Hay là cùng hát để phong ấn linh hồn?” – xe buýt sing-along tại Mỹ, xếp hàng chờ 7 tiếng.ㅡThế giới hiện đang chìm trong cơn sốt <K-Pop Demon Hunters>.Yoo Jae-suk – Không chỉ âm nhạc, mà cả những cảnh trong phim cũng đang trở thành đề tài nóng.ㅡCảnh gây sốt – cảnh ăn trọn một cuộn kimbap.Yoo Jae-suk – Nhiều người còn bắt chước cảnh ăn nguyên cuộn kimbap đó.ㅡKhi sự quan tâm dành cho kimbap tăng cao, các video tự làm và ăn kimbap tại nhà cũng đang thu hút lượng xem lớn.ㅡBản gốc thử thách Soda Pop đạt 13 triệu lượt xem.

Después de que mi inglés fue perfecto, mi madre me dio un libro en coreano, pero yo no podía leerlo. Mi madre dijo “esto no puede ser” y desde entonces empezó a sentarme para estudiar. Estudiaba coreano obligatoriamente varias horas, 3 o 4 veces por semana. Hacía dictados y leía repetidamente.

Maggie Kang – While making the songs, I wanted K-pop fans to accept these songs as K-pop and accept Huntress or Saja Boys as idol groups. But, I never thought our song would go all the way up to Billboard. I think that’s so amazing. It’s also fascinating to see Huntress and Saja Boys fighting on the Billboard charts. ㅡSituations in the movie that became reality (Soda Pop, Golden)ㅡLee Jae, who directly composed and sang <GOLDEN> – became a hot topic after it was revealed she was an SM trainee for 10 years! Maggie Kang – I saw her recording <Golden> in New York. She did the high pitch range 20 to 30 times in a row. It’s a very difficult song to sing, right? I asked Lee Jae to make it difficult. Because when you hear songs in a high register, you get “UP.” I wanted to make a song that gives a heart-fluttering feeling. Our movie gives positive energy. Yoo Jae-suk – The lyrics also have “UP” coming out repeatedly.

I didn’t use Korean at home. They said I spoke English perfectly in 6 months. After my English became perfect, my mother gave me a Korean book, but I couldn’t read it. My mom said, “This won’t do,” and from then on, she sat me down and started studying. Three to four times a week, for several hours, I absolutely studied Korean. I did dictation and read repeatedly. At the time, I really hated doing it, but now I’m so grateful for it. ㅡStudying itself is not easy at age 5. Korean study has now become a great asset. Yoo Jae-suk – Even though you immigrated to Canada, did you visit Korea often? Maggie Kang – I spent all my summer vacations in Korea. Because my parents always thought they would return to Korea, we spent a lot of time in Korea. ㅡKorean sensibilities naturally ingrained in the body Maggie Kang – I think I watched a lot of TV whenever I came to Korea during vacations, haha. Every summer when I went to Korea, there was a hit song trending at that time. I have really good memories of going to karaoke with my cousins and singing popular songs. Production Team – Which singers did you like? Maggie Kang – For singers, it was H.O.T. I was a fan of H.O.T., and also Seo Taiji and Boys. ㅡSeo Taiji and Boys – <As This Night Goes Deep>(1992)ㅡDeux – <Turn Around and Look at Me>(1993)ㅡKorean songs inserted throughout the movie, influenced by the singers she liked as a child Maggie Kang – My mother always said, “You are Korean. You must not forget the Korean language.” So I always remembered those words. Although I hold a Canadian passport now, in my heart, I have always felt 100% Korean. Yoo Jae-suk – How did you start in animation? Maggie Kang – My dad really likes movies. So I’ve been interested in storytelling since I was little. When I wrote a story, I drew character designs and scenes there, and my dad saw that and bought me an animation book. So from that moment, I thought, “Animation can be a job!” and started learning 2D animation, then took a story test at DreamWorks. I passed and joined DreamWorks. Jo Se-ho – Director, do you remember the animations you liked when you were young? Maggie Kang – I liked Dooly too. I also remember <Candy Candy>. I was influenced a lot by Korean cartoons and also by the Western side. Things like Disney. I liked various things. ㅡA

tvN <You Quiz on the Block> tvN节目《You Quiz on the Block》邀请了动画电影《K-Pop灭魔猎人》(K-Pop: Demon Hunters)的导演 Maggie Kang,分享了关于作品的精彩幕后故事。以下为访谈核心内容摘要: 全球狂热:刷新纪录的《K-Pop灭魔猎人》 对话导演:最韩国的,就是最世界的 刘在石: 恶鬼战斗与 K-Pop、韩国文化的结合简直是“神来之笔”。 Maggie Kang: 我从没想过一部电影能受到如此大的欢迎。在创作歌曲时,我只希望 K-Pop 粉丝能把这些歌当作真正的 K-Pop,把剧中的“Huntrx”和“Saja Boys”当作真实的偶像组合。看到他们在 Billboard 榜单上“竞争”,真的太不可思议了。 关于爆火神曲《GOLDEN》: 细节控的胜利:生活化的韩国底色 刘在石: 除了音乐,电影里的细节也成了话题。比如一口吞下一整条紫菜包饭,现在网上到处都是挑战视频。 Maggie Kang: 虽然我 5 岁就移民加拿大,但我父母坚持让我学韩语,每周要进行好几次听写和阅读训练。夏天我常回韩国和表兄弟去练歌房,H.O.T. 和徐太志和孩子们是我的启蒙。 作品中的“韩国之魂”: 从梦工厂到首部长篇:7年的情书 Maggie Kang 曾是梦工厂(DreamWorks)的资深故事板艺术家,参与过《史瑞克3》、《功夫熊猫2》和《小黄人大眼萌2》。 电影带动的文化效应 导演最后传递的信息:“电影想传达的是战胜内心的恐惧。每个人都有想隐藏的阴影,我们要培养能够承认并克服这些不安的内心力量。”

《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》(K-Pop: Demon Hunters) 导演 Maggie Kang (姜敏知) 访谈录

tvN 《YOU Quiz on the Block》 tvN 节目《YOU Quiz on the Block》邀请了动画电影《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》的导演 Maggie Kang,分享了关于作品的幕后故事。以下是访谈内容的整理: 《Golden》 Maggie Kang 导演的童年 制作《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》的原因 刘在石: 是如何构思并制作《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》的? Maggie Kang: 从事动画工作已有 20 年。从刚开始工作时,作为韩国人,我就想看到包含韩国文化的动画片!因为韩国也制作并热爱动画,我想“如果能有代表我们国家的电影就好了!”一直在等这样的项目出现,但一直没有。后来我做到了主管,到了可以当导演的位置,就想“那要不我来做吧?”。于是想到了一个创意:外国人似乎不太了解韩国传说中的阴间使者和鬼怪。自然而然,民俗中的形象与驱魔的“恶魔猎人”概念联系了起来。 为了表现韩国,导演用双脚走遍各地进行记录。 Maggie Kang: 这次考察是我第一次去北村。我才发现路那么窄,坡那么陡。砖块和花纹的多样性让我觉得很特别,所以想原封不动地展现在电影里。 经过大量研究与努力,完成了仿佛将韩国搬进电影的细节: 韩国传统文化、K-Pop 与粉丝文化的融合 刘在石: 作品中 K-Pop、韩国传统文化和粉丝文化融合得非常好,让人沉浸其中。 主要是韩国人参与制作的《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》 刘在石: 电影里有一些能感受到导演细腻之处的场面,看了真的让人起鸡皮疙瘩。 《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》制作周期 刘在石: 您构思并制作这部作品应该花了很长时间吧? Maggie Kang: 花了 7 年。这期间我的孩子都长高了许多(呵呵)。 刘在石: 在从事动画工作的 20 年里,有 7 年投入到了《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》。7 年后公开时,心情如何? Maggie Kang: 我们一直守候到公开的那一刻。当时就忍不住流泪了。在 Netflix 上打开电影看到画面的那一刻……就是想流泪。太开心了。 刘在石: “《K-Pop 恶魔猎人》是我献给我所热爱并引以为傲的韩国及 K-Pop 文化的情书,也是一部表达我韩国根源的电影。” Maggie Kang: 坦白说,制作时很苦恼。“韩国人会认可这部电影吗?”、“我有资格制作这样的电影吗?” 刘在石: 为什么这么想? Maggie Kang: 因为我没有长期生活在韩国,而是在海外生活了很久,难免会有这种想法。所以很苦恼,但看到大家这么喜爱,真的很感谢。我想通过 K-Pop 电影向世界展示我们的文化。 Maggie Kang: 坦白说,虽然我是韩国人,但我没在韩国上过学,也没住太久。所以会想“我能做出代表韩国的电影吗?”、“我有那个资格吗?”。

🎬 K-Pop Demon Hunters: O Fenômeno Global Criado pela Diretora Maggie Kang

O filme de animação K-Pop Demon Hunters, dirigido pela coreano-canadense Maggie Kang, tornou-se um dos maiores fenômenos culturais de 2024–2025. Durante sua aparição no programa “You Quiz on the Block”, da tvN, ela compartilhou os bastidores da criação, a inspiração coreana que permeia toda a obra e como a produção se transformou em um sucesso mundial sem precedentes. 🌟 Um Sucesso Mundial Que Começou com Dois Dias de Exibição O que era apenas um filme de animação se transformou em um verdadeiro fenômeno global, impulsionado pela fusão de K-pop, folclore coreano, humor, ação e cultura tradicional. 🎤 A História: Um K-Pop Que Salva o Mundo A animação apresenta o grupo feminino Huntress, um girl group que combate demônios escondendo sua verdadeira identidade como idols. Do outro lado está o boy group Saja Boys, formado por demônios sedutores que usam música para manipular seus fãs. A diretora explica que a ideia nasceu do desejo de mostrar a cultura coreana ao mundo através de um formato familiar: o K-pop. 🎼 A Música Que Virou Hit Global A canção “GOLDEN”, composta e interpretada por Lee Jae, ex-trainee da SM, viralizou no TikTok e Instagram com o desafio “Golden Cover Challenge”. Trecho do refrão: We’re goin’ up, up, up, it’s our moment.You know together we’re glowing.Gonna be, gonna be golden. A diretora pediu propositalmente uma música com notas altas e energia ascendente para transmitir emoção e força — algo típico do K-pop. 🍙 Cenas Icônicas Que Viraram Tendência 🧡 As Raízes Coreanas de Maggie Kang Maggie imigrou para o Canadá aos 5 anos, mas sua mãe a fez estudar coreano intensivamente. Ela conta que isso moldou sua identidade: “Tenho passaporte canadense, mas no coração sempre fui 100% coreana.” Durante a produção do filme, a equipe fez pesquisa presencial na Coreia, passando por: Essas referências garantem um dos maiores elogios ao filme:a autenticidade da cultura coreana mostrada em cada detalhe. 🐯 Personagens Feitos Com Detalhes Surpreendentes O popular personagem Duffy, inspirado em um tigre das pinturas tradicionais coreanas (hojakdo), foi criado com influência dos próprios gatos da diretora. A famosa cena do vaso de planta — em que Duffy tenta levantar, não derrubar — foi baseada no comportamento de seus pets. 🎙️ Participações Especiais de Peso ✨ Por Que K-Pop Demon Hunters Conquistou o Mundo? O filme prova a frase:“O mais coreano é, muitas vezes, o mais global.”

🌍 The Global Explosion of K-Pop Demon Hunters

🌍 The Global Explosion of K-Pop Demon Hunters The animated film “K-Pop Demon Hunters” has become a worldwide phenomenon, blending Korean culture, K-pop music, and fantasy storytelling in a way that has captivated global audiences. Director Maggie Kang (Kang Min-ji) recently appeared on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, where she shared behind-the-scenes stories, production insights, and the cultural vision behind this record-breaking project. Since its release, the film has sparked an unprecedented wave of excitement: #1 on Netflix in 43 Countries 236 million total views Highest-viewed Netflix film to date U.S. Box Office #1 with only two days of limited screenings Over $25M revenue in two days Global “K-Pop Demon Hunters” tours, sing-along bus events, and cultural challenges spreading across social media This extraordinary rise proves once again that “the most Korean is the most global.” 🎵 The Power of K-Pop in Animation At the center of the film’s popularity is its irresistible soundtrack. The original OST “GOLDEN”: Hit Billboard HOT 100 #1 Topped the UK Official Singles Chart #1 Sparked millions of social media covers and dance challenges Became an anthem with the lyric: “We’re goin’ up, up, up — it’s our moment.” Composer and singer Lee Jae, a former SM trainee for 10 years, delivered a powerful high-note performance that stunned the production team. Director Maggie Kang revealed she intentionally made the song challenging to deliver an “uplifting, emotional high” to global listeners. 🔥 The Story: Demon Hunters Meets K-Pop Idols “K-Pop Demon Hunters” creatively blends: Korean occult mythology Traditional folktale imagery K-pop idol culture Modern Korean cityscapes Global fandom energy The story follows Huntress, a girl-group who secretly fights evil spirits while living as idols. They battle the demonic boy group Saja Boys, whose hypnotic songs control their fans. The film reinterprets iconic Korean elements: Grim Reaper (Jeoseung-saja) redesigned as a sleek, mysterious figure Dokkaebi-inspired evil spirits Shamanic rituals (“gut”) transforming into K-pop-style performances Traditional motifs like norigae, Korean swords, Ilwol-obongdo, and more This fusion has introduced millions of global viewers to Korean cultural heritage. 🌆 Korean Culture Brought to Life The film’s visual accuracy comes from deep research. Maggie Kang and her team traveled from Jeju to Seoul, capturing real locations such as: Bukchon Hanok Village Namsan Seoul Tower Naksan Fortress Trail Myeongdong Traditional bathhouses Korean subway scenes Hanok clinics and traditional markets Even tiny details — napkin placement, sitting on the floor, seasonal fashion, and the iconic sun visor worn by Korean “ajummas” — were recreated with precision. 🎤 A Talented Korean Cast Behind the Voices The movie features an impressive Korean voice cast: Lee Byung-hun as the charismatic villain Guima Ahn Hyo-seop as the leader of Saja Boys Kim Yun-jin as Celine Maggie Kang’s own daughter voicing young Luni Additional talented Korean-American actors supporting the project Even director Maggie Kang herself voiced several cameo roles. 🐯 The Birth of Duffy — The Viral Tiger Mascot One of the film’s breakout stars is Duffy, the adorable tiger based on traditional Korean folk art (hojagdo). Inspired by the director’s own Himalayan cats, Duffy’s clumsy yet lovable personality is captured in the viral scene where he tries — and fails multiple times — to fix a fallen flowerpot. 🌐 Real-World Impact: A Cultural Movement The success of “K-Pop Demon Hunters” has triggered tangible global effects: Searches for “Korea” on Google increased 10x Fans worldwide began visiting filming-inspired sites (“KDH pilgrimage”) Korean bathhouse experience bookings rose 84% Medical clinics featured in the film saw monthly visitors jump from 6,000 to over 20,000 National Museum of Korea’s attendance doubled within a year This isn’t just a movie — it’s now a global cultural phenomenon. ✨ Director Maggie Kang: A Korean Storyteller at Heart Having immigrated to Canada at age 5, Maggie Kang maintained fluent Korean thanks to her mother’s strict language lessons. Despite holding Canadian citizenship, she proudly states: “In my heart, I am 100% Korean.” Her lifelong love for Korean TV, music, and culture shaped her creative vision — from childhood influences like H.O.T., Seo Taiji & Boys, and Deux to classic Korean animations and Western favorites. 🎬 From DreamWorks to Her First Feature Film Maggie Kang worked for 20 years in animation, contributing as a storyboard artist on major films such as: Shrek 3 Kung Fu Panda 2 Minions 2 Reaching the level of storyboard supervisor, she finally took the leap to direct her own feature — the first to truly present Korean culture, mythology, and K-pop as a unified cinematic universe. 🌟 Conclusion: Why K-Pop Demon Hunters Became a Global Sensation The film’s success can be attributed to: Authentic Korean cultural representation High-quality storytelling and animation Addictive K-pop music Universal themes and emotional impact Deep research and creative detail Massive fandom support across the world “K-Pop Demon Hunters” is not just an animation — it’s proof of the global power of Korean creativity.
