[theqoo] A CRITIC CRITICIZING KPOP DEMON HUNTERS

“Since it's a ‘family-oriented anime,’ I understand the use of simplification... but it glosses over K-pop’s ‘fandom culture.’

K-pop is created within a system larger than any other pop genre, yet there’s almost no spotlight on the staff behind it.”

“There are also aspects where even hints at K-pop’s darker side end up being ‘whitewashed.’”

“It shows tendencies that could turn K-pop into something comical or oversimplified.”

“The ‘detailed K-culture references’ in KPop Demon Hunters will only become easier to replicate in the age of AI.”

“I think cultural producers need to raise their voices more to demand corrections.”

“The use of traditional Korean music elements is excessively weak... it shows a lot of things that the ‘Korean industry’ could reasonably demand.”
