My goodness you have no idea how excited I’ve been for this.

Erin G

YAYYYY THANK YOU!!

Alishia Bright

So happy y'all finally watched the movie

Gabe Sevalla

excited to watch this again with y’all!

Ty

Yesss. If you rewatch keep a look out. The opening scene where it shows the original Hunters shows a mom protecting her child from a demon. Everyone thinks that it’s Jinu’s family.

Ty

Also, glad to see tears flowing from both of you cause if not I’d think something was wrong 😂

MsBondsy

Thanks for this! It was amazing!! It was my first time seeing this movie and it was 🔥🎵❤️‍🩹🍜💥🍿

Erika

YESSSSS I’VE BEEN WAIIIITING FOR THIS!!

Madelyn Wilber

they didn’t turn it gold, it became a rainbow but sealed anyway because of the power they shared with each other and the fans. 🥰

Nikki Sparling

This was no lie... probably my 20th time watching this and I could watch more!

Nikki Sparling

Y'all should watch some K-dramas on Netflix!! It's not really something you can stream, but they sre sooo good! I recommend Alchemy of Souls, it's a favorite, but I have so many I could recommend! I prefer to watch them in Korean with subtitles but they do have an English version. Trust me... Y'all will be hooked!

Jennifer Russell

Yayyyyy! FINALLY!! Got Patreon just to watch y’all’s reaction!

Courtney

I told you those songs hit different in context!!! They have already announced that there will be more Kpop Demon Hunters in 2026 (likely a series). I would love to see Rumi's mom's story ❤️

Alexia 🫶🏻

Is this my 10th reaction to this today, yes. Have I cried every time, yes.

ky

Analisa

I had a really terrible day, and this made it feel so much better. Thank you for watching this for us, it was so much fun to see y’all’s reactions!!

An interesting fact, back in the time that Jinu is from commoners weren't allowed in the palace, unless they were musicians. So while Jinu blames himself, he honestly had no choice as he couldn't bring his family in, but he can't deny a summons from the king/emperor. It really wasn't his fault, but the demon king is very good at emotional manipulation.

Yes! I’m so thrilled you all enjoyed the film! Honestly, this movie combined way too many of my special interests, so I fear I know way too much about tiny niche details that might not be obvious if you’re not familiar with Korean culture. If I’ve misunderstood anything, Korean friends, please jump in—most of this comes from 15 years of watching Korean entertainment and being fascinated by its culture, folklore, and history but frankly I'm still just a white American woman that has just collected this info from secondhand sources over time. This is almost all my own knowledge but I used chatgpt to compile all this cohesively and get the proper terminology and korean terms for things. On the folklore: One of my favorite touches is the “saja” (사자). It’s a clever bit of wordplay—on one hand, its the korean word for lion which obviously ties to the lion mascot of a boy group in the movie and their fandom name “The Pride.” On the other, it’s a nod to the “Joseung saja” (저승사자), the Korean Grim Reaper which the boys are stylized as in the demon world. In folklore, the Grim Reaper isn’t scary so much as a bureaucratic guide to the afterlife and can often be tricked or reasoned with in old folktales. I think this makes a nice touch to allow Jinu to have character development. The “demons” as you see in the movie are actually a mix of Korean folk creatures. In addition to the grim reapers mentioned earlier there are dokkaebi (도깨비) are like fae—mischievous rather than evil, sometimes helping and sometimes making trouble. There are also ghosts like the crying ghost (울음귀신, ureum gwishin), symbolizing spirits who died with deep sorrow generally young unmarried women or "virgin ghosts", and the water ghost (물귀신, mul gwishin), thought to haunt the places where they drowned. The film also nods to minhwa (민화), traditional Korean folk art, through its use of tiger (horangi) and magpie (kkachi) imagery. This pairing, known as hojakdo, is a classic motif. In minhwa. The tiger is normally drawn kind of wonky/humorously (which is totally in line with the character design of the tiger in the movie!) and can represent strength, protection, or even poke fun at authority figures, while the magpie is a bringer of good news. These paintings were often believed to have protective or lucky qualities, and seeing this visual language in the film works as a subtle cultural Easter egg for viewers familiar with the tradition. Tigers and Magpie are the national symbol and bird of Korea so that's how relevant these creatures are to korean culture and national identity.  Huntr/x is essentially a modern, K-pop-infused take on Korean shamanism (muism). This practice dates back thousands of years and has traditionally been led by women (mudang), who use music, dance, and ritual to connect with the spirit world. In the film, this becomes a magical-girl concept—think Sailor Moon or Jem and the Holograms (for my fellow old fogeys) but deeply rooted in Korean culture. Their performances act like modern shamanic protection rituals, and the “honmun” they create mirrors these traditions. My personal read on the films themes is that it is commentary on shame in a lot of ways. The Demon King (Gwima) uses shame, symbolized by the marks, to control and isolate people into being tools of evil and as Rumi becomes more and more pressured and ashamed of her identity as half demon and the secret she has to keep the marks continue to grow. I think it's also deep to show how YOUNG she began to understand shame and isolation and being different and "other." Celine being the mechanism for that also shows the role in generational trauma, I think. How even adults who love you and are trying their best (Celine saying "Everything I was ever taught told me that you were wrong" or something to that effect) can still impose the same shame and harm on you even though they think they are protecting you. At first, it’s built on a Confucian-inspired ideal of unity through uniformity—perfection is required to belong, and flaws invite judgment. This originally was a needed system of survival necessary for the culture to come together and overcome obstacles both historically and in the films lore. I think this also can refer to the pressure on K-pop idols to maintain a spotless image, where even small “offenses” like vaping or dating can spark backlash so i think this adds even more layers. By the end, Rumi and the girls reject that premise and build a NEW honmun not rooted on the foundation of shame but built on the connection and unity found through authenticity and vulnerability. Rumi’s marks, once symbols of her persistent shame and fear now glow with the same colors of the new honmun, turning imperfections into strength and beauty that she embraces. I think it’s a powerful metaphor for how embracing and sharing our vulnerabilities can create a stronger, more genuine sense of connection and community. also think Zoey’s character speaks to the “third culture kid” experience of Korean Americans—caught between worlds and not fully belonging to either. Even her lyrics seem to reflect that. It’s one of those little touches that makes the movie work on two levels: fun and action-packed on the surface, but packed with cultural depth if you want to dig in. Long story short: this movie is awesome at a surface level, and when you look deeper, it has even more to to say about and appreciate within Korean culture. And that’s just really, really cool to me. Also the song that plays when the Saja Boys appear is by EXO called Love Me Right and I don't believe it appears on the official soundtrack and the other song with the meet cute between Jinu and Rumi when she falls is a song by the Duo Melomance that appears on "Business Proposal" a famous (its on netflix) kdrama where the vocal actor for Jinu is the male lead. It's hilarious if you want to dip your toes into kdramas.

The Soda Pop lyrics have SUCH a different meaning when you know they are demons trying to steal souls! So glad you shared your reactions to the movie with us!

NatiB

My son and I loved watching along with you!!!

Shannon

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed today! I was crying with you!!

T

so like... can we expect more reactions to musicals.....pretty please with cherries on top?

Kenedee

Terry: did she get bit ? K: they aren’t vampires ! Lmao

Kailtin Joy

I was crying with you guys!!! K, I think it didn’t turn gold because she made a new kind of “Honmoon”? That was rainbow like her marks? lol I may need to watch a few more times when my 5 year old isn’t around 😂

Stephen Biggs

My daughter is obsessed with this movie haha, admittedly I like it a lot and free was forsure my favorite, soon as I heard it I thought it was a banger.

Lauren Coontz

This is the same studio and animators that did into the spiderverse. Absolutely incredible work.

Alishia Bright

Loved watching you guys watch the movie ❤

Erika Perrone

I think if you guys haven’t seen The Greatest Showman that you should also react to that movie! It is one of my favorites! I loved seeing your reaction to this movie, I made my fiancé watch it with me and I’m also trying to get my brother to watch it lol ❤️❤️

Madeleine

In the Your Idol performance, Jinu is wearing the bracelet the old lady gave them 🤭

Corey Mullins

The song playing when they introduce the Saja Boys is “Love Me Right” by EXO. They are known as the vocal kings of K-pop, yall would love them! If you want to get a sample of their music and voices, highly recommend EXO killing voice on Dingo Music’s YouTube channel. It’s a medley of some of their popular songs and a great way to learn a little about the group!

Stephany

The ending makes me cry every time 😭

pamtammm

when you find out there was an aquarium date scene and they kissed which was deleted 🙃

Snow

your idol was inspired by EXO's Mama and Obsession. and also Jinu face was drawn base on EXO's center Kai. You guys should definitely check out EXO killing voice on Dingo music. They are vocal kings of Kpop. I really enjoyed your reaction and watching this movie again with u guys. thank u

Amanda Mathews

Man this was the best reaction video ever. I love this movie so much and watching it with y'all was amazing lol

Or Cohen

literally watched it with you guys lmao. you're so real for all the reactions

Jazmin

The actor for Jinu has a video on his IG singing Free

Sasha

“Where that soda come from” the way I didn’t even notice it wasn’t there to begin with 😂. Love yall!

Rylie

I saw someone say in another reaction that Jinu was invited to the palace by the king and in that period of time you couldn’t refuse the kings orders other wise you’d die so he had to go and leave his family. And that made him feel guilty, which lead to him hearing gwi-ma’s voice. Someone also said in the beginning clip of his flashback you can see the hunters outside the palace and they protected his sister and mother so they didn’t actually die

Eloisa Joyce Ret

SAJA Boys inspired with the KPOP Boygroup EXO, you should try to check them out. Your Idol was inspired by the song MAMA - EXO and Obsession - EXO.

Sydney

Watching your idol had me ready to walk up on that stage too 🤣🤣

Gabby

I cant believe this was supposed to be a 3 hour movie but they ended up cutting out like half of the scenes! Still so good even for a regular length movie😭

Emma Dew

Have you guys ever reacted to Hamilton the musical? That would be cool to see

Lauren Benbrook

my absolute favorite part of this whole reaction video is Kaniyia saying “TELL THEM!! TELL YOUR FRIENDS THE TRUTH!!” over and over. that’s how i know Kaniyia is a real one. because that was my first reaction. TELL THEM!! i mean i get it because shame doesn’t work like that, but i know Kaniyia is real because her FIRST thought was “just be honest.” i love that reaction. that’s real. love y’all for this whole movie reaction, it blessed me

Brooke

Kaniyia! Your face when Jinu stopped her friends from seeing her patterns 🤣 🤣 🤣
