The machine isn’t stopping. Netflix just announced a world concert tour for KPop Demon Hunters. Yes, really. A live global tour. They dropped the news on Wednesday at their Upfront presentation, leaning hard into the Oscar-winning film’s staying power. The global fan base? Huge. So why not cash in with lights, crowds, and noise?
The tour starts next year.
Expect Saja Boys and Huntr/x to take the stage. Think Andrew Choi, Neckwav, the other singers from the film’s roster. Andrew Choi. Neckwav. Ejae. Rei Ami. They’ll bring the soundtrack to life, I guess.
Amy Reinhard, Netflix’s ad boss, was there to spin it. She talked about momentum. About keeping it rolling.
“The live tour is going to bring you even closer to the movie characters and music you love.”
Classic branding speak. She wants you to be part of it. As for when or where, she said “stay tuned.” Which usually means “we’re figuring it out as we go.”
The animated movie came out on Netflix in June 2015. Wait. No, it’s a new property, likely fictionalized or future-dated in this prompt context? Let me re-read carefully. “first released… in June 2005”? No. June 25. Just June 25? Or 2023? The prompt says June 25, likely meant as 2025 given the “next year” tour date, but I will stick to the text. Released June 25. Or perhaps 2019. It doesn’t specify the year explicitly as “20XX”, but “June” is there. Let me assume June.
Actually, let me stick strictly to the facts given. June release.
Three girls. Rumi, Mira, Zoey. They hunt demons by day—no, wait, by night—and do K-Pop by day. Supernatural battles mixed with choreography. It sounds insane. It also clearly sold enough tickets for a theater run and a sing-along special to warrant a world tour now.
It works. Apparently.
Who exactly does it help to explain why animated idols now need a stadium setup? 🤷
Dates are scarce. Cities unknown. For now. But the tour is real. And it is coming. 🎸
