KCC PH invites public to discover Korean elements behind hit film 'Kpop Demon Hunters'
The Korean Cultural Center (KCC) in the Philippines is inviting audiences to discover the Korean cultural symbols in the hit Netflix animated film “KPop Demon Hunters.”
From July 18 to Aug. 4, KCC will host a four‑part program—”Step Into the World of K‑Pop Demon Hunters”—that invites fans to trace the movie’s visual icons back to their cultural roots.
“When viewers fall in love with Sussie & Derpy, marvel at the sleek black ‘gat,’ or spot the ‘maedeup’ bracelet on screen, they’re actually looking at centuries‑old symbols of Korean life,” said Kim Myeongjin, KCC Philippines director. “Our role is to open the door from pop culture to cultural appreciation, so the Filipino audience can experience the stories, skills, and values woven into these elements.”
