(By my son\u2019s request, but I confess to inwardly rejoicing whenever he asks to watch it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The animated musical tells the story of the members of Huntr\/x, a trio of <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/11-motivational-quotes-from-trailblazing-aapi-women\/\">Korean<\/a> singers who are secretly (as the film\u2019s title indicates) a magical group of demon hunters. They&#8217;re the latest in a lineage of musically gifted hunters, actually, who carry the baton of preventing the goblin-esque creatures and the fire-god who controls them from taking over the human world through <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/on-connie-francis-whose-powerful-voice-reached-far-and-wide\/\">the power of song<\/a> \u2013 and, on occasion, martial arts moves and glowing weaponry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a total hit, and well beyond the confines of our New York City apartment \u2013 it\u2019s taken up residence for weeks in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/tudum\/top10\">Netflix\u2019s top ten<\/a> most popular films, while its soundtrack has become the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/chart-beat\/kpop-demon-hunters-highest-charting-soundtrack-2025-1236014634\/\">highest-charting one of the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But woven throughout this cartoon delight and its infectious K-pop tunes is a beautiful \u2013 and rather timely \u2013 message about the power of <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/the-artists-way-and-the-limitations-we-place-on-womens-imaginations\/\">women\u2019s creativity<\/a>. A power that is so strong that some seek to curtail it. And I don\u2019t just mean the notorious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/stories-51476159\">mistreatment of young talent<\/a> in the actual K-pop industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, it\u2019s not lost on me that, less than a year before this film debuted, the Taliban officially <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/why-we-must-shout-and-sing-against-oppressors\/\">banned women in Afghanistan from singing<\/a>. The Islamic fundamentalist group, which has controlled the central Asian nation with an increasingly clenched fist since reclaiming power in 2021, declared a woman\u2019s voice to be something \u201cintimate\u201d last August. As such, women there can no longer read aloud, pray \u2013 or sing \u2013 if they are around other people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An entire nation of women barred from bringing their voices together in harmony \u2013 lest they be imprisoned\u2026 or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_134ccdb0eb10561e0cb5c101f2477f2d\" class=\"wp-block related-post alignwide\">\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"section-title\">\n      <h4>Related<\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"post-wrap\">\n              <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/why-we-must-shout-and-sing-against-oppressors\/\" class=\"post-image-link\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Afghan-Women-Taliban-Rules-Singing-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Afghan-Women-Taliban-Rules-Singing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Afghan-Women-Taliban-Rules-Singing-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Afghan-Women-Taliban-Rules-Singing-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Afghan-Women-Taliban-Rules-Singing-84x84.jpg 84w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Afghan-Women-Taliban-Rules-Singing-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"entry-text\">\n          <h3 class=\"post-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/why-we-must-shout-and-sing-against-oppressors\/\">\n              Why We Must Shout \u2013 and Sing \u2013 Against Oppressors\n            <\/a>\n          <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-denying-an-intrinsic-right\"><strong>Denying An Intrinsic Right<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a longtime choir member, I know the <a href=\"https:\/\/acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/epdf\/10.1002\/acr.20406\">physical<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ecancer.org\/en\/journal\/article\/631-singing-modulates-mood-stress-cortisol-cytokine-and-neuropeptide-activity-in-cancer-patients-and-carers\/abstract\">emotional<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/royalsocietypublishing.org\/doi\/10.1098\/rsos.150221\">social<\/a> boosts that the unparalleled joy of harmonizing provides. But beyond what I derive from it as an individual, it also serves as a uniquely powerful manifestation of the concept of a whole being greater than the sum of its parts. However many voices you bring together on a given song, there is always something larger, something intangible, that is made when voices are raised together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The magic lies in the \u201ctogether.\u201d In order to successfully pull off any choral piece, everyone involved has to be (metaphorically) unified. Singers honor one another by learning their parts with intention, then bringing that work to the collective and listening closely to others, to figure out how their voices can best blend. To create a unit, a feeling, a moment, an experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deny others this joy and connection is a soul-level betrayal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie gets this concept. Near its end, there is a moment when Huntr\/x is torn apart by the demon characters and their leader, Gwi-Ma. It\u2019s not a physical attack \u2013 the demons don\u2019t use their claws and fangs to take the lead in the battle. Instead, it\u2019s a metaphorical gnashing, in which they crush resistance and individuality by amplifying their victims\u2019 most deep-seated fears and doubts, until they\u2019re rendered hopeless. Quite literally soulless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as such, compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the real world, it\u2019s not mythical monsters threatening humanity, and women in particular, in this way. Rather, it\u2019s other humans \u2013 men, especially \u2013 who separate and subjugate by cutting off women\u2019s access to the particular power of singing together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they\u2019re afraid of what women can do when our voices are joined and synced \u2013 what our \u201ctogether\u201d can create when we make it our own, and how it might threaten their feeble grasp on control. They\u2019re afraid of the songs of freedom and justice we can sing, and teach to others.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_98b422c3eb9ea9da3133cabbc8e994ea\" class=\"wp-block related-post alignwide\">\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"section-title\">\n      <h4>Related<\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"post-wrap\">\n              <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/a-muslim-womens-choir-aims-to-break-taboos-about-public-singing\/\" class=\"post-image-link\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Women_in_Egypt-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Women_in_Egypt-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Women_in_Egypt-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"entry-text\">\n          <h3 class=\"post-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/a-muslim-womens-choir-aims-to-break-taboos-about-public-singing\/\">\n              A Muslim Women&#8217;s Choir Aims to Break Taboos About Public Singing\n            <\/a>\n          <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-they-re-afraid-of-women-winning\"><strong>They\u2019re Afraid of Women Winning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the demonic force succeeds in breaking Huntr\/x down, the only thing that brings them back to one another \u2013 to the love that they share, and the power they generate as a group \u2013 is singing together. Once they\u2019re united and harmonious again, they\u2019re unstoppable; the trio rather quickly triumphs over the evil that sought to tear them, and others, apart. The protective barrier separating the demon realm from the human world is refortified, thanks to the joining of their voices \u2013 and the voices of everyone the evil forces sought to control and consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just fiction fodder \u2013 I\u2019ve seen firsthand how harmonizing grounds people in love. One especially potent example: My grandmother and my four great-aunts comprised The DeMarco Sisters, a sister singing group that enjoyed quite a bit of popularity in their day. But as families sometimes do, the DeMarco Sisters would fight, sometimes over the family dinners we gathered for throughout my childhood. Yet before those evenings ended, the sisters would sing, hopping on familiar harmonies and smiling at one another once more, well before the last note rang out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, a sing-through of \u201cI\u2019m Always Chasing Rainbows\u201d says \u201cI love you, no matter what\u201d better than words ever could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve directly experienced this connective power in my own performance work, too, a thousand times over \u2013 my own generational experience with music as a force of good. Which makes it almost impossible for me to imagine women being cut off from such warmth, power and bonding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in the same world where \u201cK-Pop Demon Hunters\u201d is presently being enjoyed en masse, there are women being purposefully held back from joining together in song at all, and have been for a whole year \u2013 because their leaders thrive on their oppression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which is why those of us whose voices can still ring out, uninhibited, must speak against them. And <em>sing<\/em> against them. Over and over again. Perhaps in a round, which both grows and layers upon itself with each pass \u2013 until the oppression is drowned out and the harmony is all that remains. &#x25fc;&#xfe0f;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_55ee31a174b94332fc15b7e8aef4c225\" class=\"wp-block related-post alignwide\">\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"section-title\">\n      <h4>Related<\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"post-wrap\">\n              <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/13-songs-by-women-artists-to-light-your-social-justice-fires\/\" class=\"post-image-link\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/24535126218_5391f17b5a_c-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"H.E.R. social justice protest songs women artists\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/24535126218_5391f17b5a_c-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/24535126218_5391f17b5a_c-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/24535126218_5391f17b5a_c-84x84.jpg 84w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/24535126218_5391f17b5a_c-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"entry-text\">\n          <h3 class=\"post-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/13-songs-by-women-artists-to-light-your-social-justice-fires\/\">\n              13 Protest Songs by Women Artists to Light Your Social Justice Fires\n            <\/a>\n          <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beneath the film\u2019s pop-tastic exterior lies a timely message about the power of women\u2019s voices \u2013 and what we lose when they\u2019re silenced, ensemble singer Candice Helfand-Rogers writes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":79590,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"autoblue_enabled":true,"autoblue_custom_message":"\"K-Pop Demon Hunters\" is a film that explores what happens when people - when women - are cut off from the joy and unity of singing together.
