KPop Demon Hunters (which I like!) is such an oddball. It has a primarily Korean main cast (both voice actors and singers), and one of the directors/creators is Canadian (Korean-Canadian, but she lived in Canada since she was five). The show is a Neflix "Western" production, not a Korean production. It has a lot of insight into K-Pop (idealized/distorted at times, but still with an occasional biting critique), but as a phenomenon K-Pop itself has become distorted in its "Korean-ness", right? Many bands now sing in English, and its intended audience lies outside of Korea as much as within. The movie's take on "demon hunting" seems influenced by international expectations rather than by traditional Korean folklore. In Korean folklore, as far as I know, priestesses appease spirits/demons, they do not destroy them. And there is no such thing as a "demon king", nor is there a "soul" that "demons" seek to steal... that's such a Western concept! Again, I think KPop Demon Hunters is a good movie! My daughter and I enjoyed it immensely. But it's a mish-mash of Korean and Western expectations, I wouldn't call it "authentically" Korean even though a large part of the cast is.
