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 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？”。

tvN <You Quiz on the Block> Director Maggie Kang of K-Pop: Demon Hunters appeared on the tvN program You Quiz on the Block to share stories about her work. Here is a summary of the conversation. <Golden> Maggie Kang’s Childhood The Reason for Making <K-Pop: Demon Hunters> Yoo Jae-suk: “How did you come to make K-Pop: Demon Hunters?” Maggie Kang: “I’ve been working in animation for 20 years. Ever since I started, I wanted to see an animation that captures Korean culture. As a Korean! Korea makes and loves animation so much, so I thought, ‘I wish there was a movie that represents our country!’ and ‘If such a project comes out, I want to work on it.’ I waited until it came out, but it didn’t. So, after becoming a supervisor and reaching a position where I could be a director, I thought, ‘Then should I try making it?’ Then an idea came to me. It seemed like people abroad didn’t know much about Korea’s Grim Reaper (Jeoseung Saja) or Goblin (Dokkaebi) images. Those images from folklore naturally connected to the idea of ‘Demon Hunters’ who fight evil spirits.” The director who recorded everywhere by walking on her own two feet to express Korea. Maggie Kang: “When I came to Korea for the field trip this time, it was my first time in Bukchon. I realized for the first time that the streets are so narrow and the hills are steep. And I felt the bricks and patterns were diverse and special, so I wanted to show that in the movie exactly as it is.” Details that look as if Korea was moved into the screen, completed after much research and effort: The Harmony of Korea’s Traditional Culture, K-pop, and FandomYoo Jae-suk: “K-pop, traditional Korean culture, and fandom culture are well-harmonized in the work, so you get completely immersed while watching.” <K-De-Heon>, produced mainly by Koreans.Yoo Jae-suk: “There are scenes where your attention to detail is felt; there were points that really gave me goosebumps while watching.” Production Period of <K-Pop: Demon Hunters> Yoo Jae-suk: “It must have taken quite a while to plan and produce, Director?” Maggie Kang: “It took 7 years. In the meantime, my kid grew up so much, haha.” Yoo Jae-suk: “Investing 7 years into making K-De-Heon out of 20 years in animation. How did you feel when it was finally released after 7 years?” Maggie Kang: “We waited until the release time. I just started crying. Watching the movie on Netflix… I just cried. Because I was so happy.” Yoo Jae-suk: “<K-Pop: Demon Hunters> is a tribute and a love letter to Korea and K-pop culture, which I love and am proud of, and it’s a movie that expresses my Korean roots.” Maggie Kang: “Honestly, I worried a lot while making the movie. ‘Will Koreans accept this movie?’, ‘Am I qualified to make a movie like this?’” Yoo Jae-suk: “Why?” Maggie Kang: “Because I didn’t live in Korea for long and lived abroad a lot, there’s a bit of that. For people who don’t live in Korea! So I worried, but I’m so grateful that you love it so much. While making a K-pop movie, I wanted to show our culture to the world.” Maggie Kang: “Honestly, I am Korean, but I didn’t go to school in Korea and didn’t live there for long. Because of that, I thought, ‘Can I make a movie that represents Korea?’, ‘Am I qualified for that?’”

tvN <You Quiz on the Block> Director Maggie Kang, the creative force behind K-Pop Demon Hunters, appeared on tvN’s popular talk show You Quiz on the Block, where she shared behind-the-scenes stories and personal reflections about the film. Here is a comprehensive summary of that conversation. A Global Phenomenon Begins “Golden” — When the Most Korean Became the Most Global “The idea that ‘the most Korean is the most global’ has become reality.” Maggie Kang admitted she never imagined one film could gain this level of popularity. Host Yoo Jae-suk praised the film’s brilliant fusion of K-pop and Korean culture in the battle against evil spirits, calling it “a masterstroke.” K-Pop Demon Hunters tells the story of a K-pop girl group, Huntrix, who secretly protect the world from demons, battling an evil demon boy group, Saja Boys, while performing as idols. Maggie Kang explained that while creating the music, her hope was simply that K-pop fans would accept Huntrix and Saja Boys as real idol groups. She never imagined the songs would climb the Billboard charts. “Seeing Huntrix and Saja Boys competing on Billboard felt surreal.” Creating “Golden” The song Golden was composed and sung by EJAE, a former SM Entertainment trainee of 10 years. Maggie Kang recalled watching EJAE record the song in New York, singing extremely high notes repeatedly—20 to 30 times in a row. “I asked her to make it difficult on purpose. High notes lift people up emotionally. I wanted a song that makes you feel empowered—because our movie gives positive energy.” Lyrics like: “We’re goin’ up, up, up, it’s our moment”“Gonna be, gonna be golden” helped fuel viral cover challenges, parodies, and massive global engagement across social media. Cultural Impact Beyond the Screen Global interest in Korean culture surged: Maggie Kang’s Roots “At the time, I hated it. Now I’m incredibly grateful.” She spent every summer vacation in Korea, watching TV, singing the latest hits at karaoke with cousins, and absorbing Korean pop culture. Her favorite artists growing up: These influences appear throughout the film’s soundtrack. “Even though I have a Canadian passport, I’ve always felt 100% Korean in my heart.” From Storyboard Artist to Director Inspired by her father’s love for films, Maggie Kang developed an early passion for storytelling and animation. She worked as a storyboard artist at DreamWorks, contributing to: She explained that storyboard artists visually translate scripts into camera angles, character movement, and emotional tone—forming the blueprint of an animated film. K-Pop Demon Hunters is her directorial debut. Why She Made K-Pop Demon Hunters After 20 years in animation, Maggie Kang longed to see an animated film that truly represented Korea. “I kept waiting for someone else to make it. When it didn’t happen, I thought—why not me?” She drew inspiration from Korean folklore: These elements evolved into demon hunters and stylish, mysterious antagonists. The concept combined: Traditional elements woven into the film include: Meticulous Korean Details Director Yoo Jae-suk praised the film’s astonishing realism: Maggie Kang credited the many Korean artists on the production team. “If the rice and soup were switched, someone would immediately say, ‘That’s wrong.’ This film was made together by Koreans.” Voices and Cast “Having Lee Byung-hun alone made the film feel like a true Korean movie.” Seven Years, One Love Letter to Korea “This movie is my love letter to Korea and K-pop.” She admitted to deep insecurities: “I wondered if I had the right to make a film representing Korea.” The overwhelming global response erased those doubts. “I poured my entire heart into this. If people didn’t like it, I thought I’d quit animation. That’s how much it meant to me.” The Message “The message is about overcoming fear within yourself.” Through characters like Rumi and Jin-woo, the film explores hidden fears and insecurities. “We may never completely erase our fears, but we can learn to acknowledge them—and grow stronger.”

Хойд Америкийн кино театруудад ердөө хоёрхон өдөр үзүүлсэн ч бокс оффисын 1-р байранд орж, 25 тэрбум воны ашиг олсон нь К-поп соёлын хүчийг дахин нэг баталлаа. 2. К-поп болон Солонгос соёлын төгс зохицол Энэхүү хүүхэлдэйн кино нь дэлхийг чөтгөрүүдээс хамгаалдаг “Huntriss” хэмээх охидын хамтлаг болон хүмүүсийг төөрөгдүүлдэг “Saja Boys” хэмээх чөтгөрүүдийн хөвгүүдийн хамтлагийн тухай өгүүлдэг.

Найруулагч Мэгги Каны Солонгос үндэс угсаа Мэгги Кан 5 настайдаа Канад руу цагаачилсан боловч ээжийнхээ ачаар солонгос хэлээ марталгүй сурч иржээ. Тэрээр: “Хэдийгээр би Канад паспорттай ч сэтгэл зүрх минь 100% солонгос хүн гэж мэдэрдэг” хэмээн эх орондоо болон соёлдоо хайртайгаа илэрхийлсэн юм. 4. Кинонд шингэсэн Солонгос деталь (Нарийн ширийн зүйлс) Үзэгчдийн анхаарлыг хамгийн их татсан зүйл бол кинон дахь солонгосчуудын өдөр тутмын амьдралын дүр төрх байв. 5. Алдартнуудын дуу хоолой Киноны гол эсрэг дүр болох чөтгөрүүдийн хаан Гюма-гийн дүрд дэлхийд алдартай жүжигчин Ли Бён Хон дуу оруулсан нь киноны чанарыг улам өндөрт гаргасан байна. Мөн жүжигчин Ан Хё Соп, Ким Юн Жин нар дуу оруулж оролцсон байна. 6. Киноны өгөх мессеж Найруулагч Мэгги Кан энэхүү бүтээлээрээ дамжуулан хүн бүрт байдаг дотоод айдас, өөртөө итгэлгүй байдлаа хүлээн зөвшөөрч, түүнийг даван туулах хүчтэй байхыг уриалсан юм. Тэрээр 7 жилийн турш зүрх сэтгэлээ зориулж хийсэн энэхүү “Солонгос соёлд зориулсан хайрын захидал” нь дэлхий дахинд ийм их хайр хүндэтгэл хүлээсэнд туйлын баяртай байгаагаа хуваалцлаа.
