BTS’ Jungkook had “overflowing” emotional reaction to KPop Demon Hunters

by

In simpler terms, the popular Netflix animated film titled “KPopDemon Hunters,” which revolves around an imaginary K-pop band battling dangerous demons, has resonated deeply with viewers, even leaving BTS member Jungkook emotionally moved.

The story unfolds in a universe where celebrities live dual existences. It traces the journey of K-pop icons Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, internationally acclaimed artists who covertly employ their hidden abilities to shield fans from malevolent spirits, all while filling stadiums with sold-out concerts during their off-hours.

Ever since it premiered on Netflix on June 20th, the movie has gained widespread popularity among anime enthusiasts and K-pop music lovers alike, earning acclaim for its stunning visuals and infectious tunes.

On July 14, 2025, during an unexpected live broadcast on the South Korean app Weverse, BTS member Jungkook shared his profound emotions about a certain film.

Jungkook says KPop Demon Hunters made him cry

The stream celebrating the second anniversary of his hit single ‘Seven’ lasted for two hours and featured an authentic interaction between the well-known singer and KPop Demon Hunters. It’s now clear from a translation by @ryuminating which parts particularly resonated with Jungkook.

Jungkook admitted that he shed tears while watching KPop Demon Hunters. He became emotional at the end when all the Saja Boys were falling, and the heroine announced she’d make her own honmun and bravely entered the venue alone. That moment took his breath away and made him tear up.

BTS’s JUNGKOOK: I watched KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, and it made me cry. I cried, particularly at the end when they were with the Saja Boys and she announced that she would create a Moon by herself and ran into the stadium. Then I let out an “oh” and tears fell.

He also recalled the point in the film that pushed him over the edge.

He expressed that it wasn’t just sadness that caused him to weep at Jinu’s demise, but rather an excessive outpouring of emotions. While sad stories also make me cry, it’s the deeply emotional moments… You understand, don’t you? I think you can relate.

Although not real, the Saja Boys have garnered genuine accomplishments, reaching the pinnacle as the top K-pop band on US Spotify by July 3, 2025. They surpassed BTS in this milestone, with their hit single ‘Your Idol’ reigning supreme on the platform due to robust music sales and streaming activity.

Jungkook’s emotional response to the movie has spread widely, resonating with fans who share his feelings and praising its unexpected depth. As more voices demand it online, there is increasing speculation that a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters might be in development.
