Cast of KPop Demon Hunters
KPop Demon Hunters is a 2025 animated action-fantasy musical from Sony Pictures Animation, released by Netflix and directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans. It follows Huntrix — a chart-topping girl group of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey — who moonlight as demon hunters, using their music and choreography as weapons. Their rivals, the Saja Boys, are demons in disguise led by Jinu and answering to the demon king Gwi-Ma. Because it is a musical, most leads are credited twice: once for the speaking voice and once for the singing voice.

About KPop Demon Hunters
KPop Demon Hunters represents a bold new direction in action cinema, merging the global phenomenon of K-pop with traditional Asian mythology and modern action choreography. The film features elaborate musical numbers that double as fight sequences, creating a unique viewing experience.
The production brings together talent from both the K-pop and film industries, with choreography that seamlessly blends dance moves with martial arts. The film's soundtrack features original K-pop songs specifically composed for the demon-hunting sequences.
Production and Concept
This groundbreaking film concept originated from the growing crossover between K-pop culture and cinema. The producers aimed to create something that had never been seen before - a musical action film where the performances themselves become the weapons against evil forces.
About KPop Demon Hunters
KPop Demon Hunters is an animated feature that combines the visual energy of a K-pop performance with a supernatural action plot. The story follows a top girl group whose members are also secret demon hunters, balancing their public lives as performers with hidden missions that protect their fans.
Visual style and music
The film blends 2D-influenced character design with kinetic 3D camera work during action sequences. The musical numbers are choreographed and recorded with the same care as a real K-pop release, and the original songs play a central narrative role rather than acting as background score.
Voice cast
The English-language voice cast includes Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo as the three members of the central group, alongside Ahn Hyo-seop, Yunjin Kim, and Daniel Dae Kim in supporting roles. The casting bridges performers known to Western animation audiences with actors associated with Korean-language entertainment.
Production
The film is a Sony Pictures Animation production and continues that studio's recent run of distinctive, stylised animated features. Music supervision was handled in collaboration with K-pop industry producers, which is part of why the film's songs sit comfortably alongside contemporary releases on streaming services.
Where to watch
KPop Demon Hunters is distributed by Sony and Netflix. Streaming availability is global through Netflix in regions where the film has been licensed, and the soundtrack is widely available on major music platforms.

Animation viewers often pair this with the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse cast and the How to Train Your Dragon (2025) cast.
How to read this cast page
Cast lists work best as a quick reference rather than a transcript of the credits. The principal cast section above lists the actors most viewers will recognise from marketing and from the first episode or first act. The character each actor plays is shown alongside the name, with short relationship cues where they help.
Recurring versus principal cast
Television in particular distinguishes between “series regulars,” who appear in most episodes, and “recurring” or “guest” performers who appear only in some. Recurring cast can shift between seasons: someone introduced as a guest can be promoted to a regular role if the writers decide the character should stay. When that has happened on this title, we update the cast list rather than leave outdated billing in place.
Why character descriptions stay short
We keep character notes brief and free of spoilers. Late-season twists, deaths, and identity reveals are part of why audiences watch a show or a film, and a cast page that gives them away in the first paragraph is harder to use casually. If something is essential to introducing a character — a job, a family relationship, a faction — we include it; otherwise we leave it out.
Spelling and credits
Names are written here the way the production credits them. Where actors are credited differently in different markets, we use the credit listed in the production's official press notes. Stage names, mononyms, and special characters are preserved.
Suggesting changes
If you spot a name we have wrong, a character description that has gone out of date after a new season, or a credit that is missing, the contact page explains how to reach us. We update individual cast pages rather than rewriting the site, so corrections we receive turn into changes on this page directly.
