Kpop Demon Hunters | Exclusive Interviews | Maggie Kang, Chris Appelhans
The world will know you as pop stars, but you will be much more than that. You will be hunters. Hey, this is the man’s bath house. Get out of here. Because I’m Korean, I really wanted to see Korean culture um represented through animation and I wanted to see female characters and especially in the superhero genre more real and um relatable. I basically just wanted to see girls like me. They’re stealing the souls of our fans. Let’s send those disgusting demons back to the depths where they belong. Yeah. [Applause] It was so fun. So much fun. Learned so much. Just stretched. I feel like all of us had to stretch for this movie and really step up to the plate. Definitely out of my comfort zone, but walked away feeling way more confident as an artist. Mhm. I was a ghost. I was alone. We had always wanted to avoid doing like an origin story where you start by telling all these girls how they grew up and how they became hundreds. We wanted to start in the present with them already. Awesome. But the audience wanted to know like where did they come from? Golden became the way that we could tell the audience that story. It was definitely the director’s um direction. They were basically telling us this scene what we needed and like the song has to have the word gold for the gold honeymoon. So that was basically kind of where the inspiration came from. But it has to be about the characters reaching for their dream. [Music] [Applause] [Music] You have so many people working on it that you’re like spinning plates. You know, at first it’s like two plates and then five and then it’s like 20. We talk about it being this baby that you carry to the finish line and you have to be delicate all the way to the end because you could drop it like right before you cross that finish line. So, it’s just really challenging all the way to the end. Everything is at stake. [Music] To find out where to watch any movie, check out movie phone.com. Find it, watch it.
