Right now, KPop Demon Hunters is captivating those who watch it with a Netflix subscription, it's breaking Netflix records, and it's dominating the music charts. This entry on the 2025 movie schedule has taken the world by storm, and now a bunch of its songs are probably stuck in millions of people’s heads, which I love to see. Seeing all this success also reminded me of a question I asked the directors about this movie and its music: Is this a musical?
Before KPop Demon Hunters premiered on Netflix’s 2025 schedule, I had the chance to interview its directors, Chris Appelhans and Maggie Kang. During that discussion, I asked them a question that could easily spark debate, which was: Is their movie a musical or a movie about music? In response, they told me it's both; however, they came to that conclusion, especially the musical part, “reluctantly,” as Appelhans told me.
