What Have the ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ Creators Said?
Director Maggie Kang addressed the sequel rumors in September 2025, admitting that while she can’t confirm anything just yet, she’s more than ready to return to the magical universe she helped create.
“There’s no official word [about a sequel], so I can’t really speak to it, but we’re all excited for the possibility of more stories,” Kang explained. “We are as creators, and the fans are as well.”
Her passion for the project runs deep. Born in Seoul and raised in Toronto, Kang shared that she longed to see Korean culture represented in animation during her early years in Hollywood. “I really wanted to work on a Korean project, but I really never came across one in the 12 or 13 years of working in the animation industry in Hollywood,” she said.
