“We had absolutely never imagined that it would circle the globe the way it has,” says K-pop Demon Hunters co-director Chris Appelhans to SCREEN over an early morning Zoom call from Los Angeles. The K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, featuring the fictional pop groups HUNTR\X and Saja Boys, has surpassed some of the biggest names in K-pop. It was really hard the whole time to juggle all those elements and to balance all of it nicely. He says the one thing making the film taught him was how naive creators can be about their perceived target audience. This is a tapestry of really talented people, and their skills take decades, and there’s a human touch in all of them.
