Director Maggie Kang said, `When I first started working, I always wanted to see animations that could show Korean culture"I wanted to show our culture as it is without hiding it while making a movie " Asked about the possibility of expanding Korean content, "There are endless things in our culture that we can show the world. There is no limit to it." He praised the potential of Korean content.

The government will faithfully play its role in preparing the environment so that new areas can be created and developed.'
Director Maggie Kang visited the National Museum of Korea this morning (21st) with Kim Min-young, a content VP of Netflix's Asia-Pacific region (excluding India). This visit is designed to share the experience of Netflix and the National Museum of Korea, a treasure trove of Korean history and culture, as the box office of K-pop Demon Hunters has led to a new interest in our own cultural heritage, art, and goods.
VP Kim Min-young said, `I'm happy to have such a meaningful place through the most popular Netflix animated film of all time and the second-highest-rated Netflix movie ever releasedK-Pop Demon Hunters.'"Proud Korean culture is being introduced around the world through Netflix. Netflix will continue to serve as a cultural bridge to raise the global status of Korean culture and expand the boundaries and fandom of the cultural industry" he said.
'K-Pop Demon Hunters' is Netflix's most popular animated film of all time, and it surprised everyone with the second-highest number of views of any Netflix film. In particular, it is characterized by Korean elements such as high-quality music and choreography that remind people of real K-pop groups, and tiger characters Duffy and Magpie wearing Gat. It left a strong impression on foreign viewers unfamiliar with Korean culture, drawing a worldwide Korean cultural craze.
During his visit to Korea, director Maggie Kang also participated in the recording of tvN 'You Quiz on the Block'. The recording session containing the intention and behind-the-scenes story of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' is scheduled to air on the 27th.
