KPop Demon Hunters 케이팝 데몬 헌터스
A superstar K-pop trio moonlights as demon hunters protecting their fans, until a rival boy band turns out to be the demons themselves. Netflix's animated smash sent its soundtrack — and Seoul itself — up the global charts.
Why fans make the trip
The film lovingly recreates real Seoul: Bukchon rooftops, the Naksan fortress wall, the tower where the final battle erupts. Netflix and Seoul's tourism board both published location guides, and 'set-jetting' fans have made these spots 2026's hottest pilgrimage.
