What K-Pop Demon Hunters Teaches Us About Media Literacy Education

What K-Pop Demon Hunters Teaches Us About Media Literacy Education

By Hyeon-Seon Jeong

When K-Pop Demon Hunters rose to the top of Netflixโ€™s global charts, many South Korean viewers encountered the film not as a domestic cultural release but as news of an international sensation. This reversed trajectoryโ€”global acclaim preceding local engagementโ€”highlights a key feature of todayโ€™s platform-driven media ecosystem, in which global platforms reorganize cultural circulation beyond national media systems (Lobato, 2019). For media literacy educators, the film offers a revealing case for examining how culture, youth, and labor are reshaped through global platforms.
ย 

From a South Korean perspective, responses to K-Pop Demon Hunters have been deeply ambivalent. Pride in seeing Korean-inspired aesthetics gain global recognition coexists with unease about the conditions under which that success is produced. Although widely framed as โ€œKorean content,โ€ the film emerged from a transnational production system involving Korean diaspora creators, U.S.-based studios, and Netflixโ€™s global infrastructure. This raises a foundational media literacy question: who defines what counts as โ€œKorean cultureโ€ in a platform economy, and who benefits from its circulation? Such tensions reflect research on the platformization of cultural production, where identity is shaped by platform logics of scale, branding, and monetization (Nieborg & Poell, 2018; Park, Kim, & Lee, 2023).
ย 

Approaching the film through critical platform literacy shifts attention from representation alone to the infrastructures that shape visibility and value. Netflix does not merely distribute content; it actively organizes cultural meaning through commissioning, algorithmic promotion, and global branding (Gillespie, 2018; van Dijck, Poell, & de Waal, 2018). In educational settings, this perspective encourages us to analyze platforms as cultural gatekeepers rather than neutral conduits, and to consider how platform logics determine which stories become legible and profitable worldwide.
ย 

At the same time, the filmโ€™s success cannot be explained by platform power alone. Many South Korean viewers emphasized that K-Pop Demon Hunters is genuinely entertaining. Its depiction of contemporary Korean popular cultureโ€”particularly the aesthetics of K-pop idols shaped within a competitive entertainment systemโ€”felt familiar and engaging, while the music and performances were widely praised. Pedagogically, this matters: media literacy education must address the coexistence of pleasure and critique, encouraging analysis without dismissing why popular texts resonate (Buckingham, 2003).
ย 

The global fandom response further enhances the filmโ€™s educational value. International audiences formed enthusiastic fandoms around entirely fictional idol groups, producing fan art, cover dances, and online rivalries. South Korean viewers found this both amusing and unsettling, as it closely mirrored real K-pop fandom practices. This phenomenon provides an entry point into discussions of parasocial relationships (Horton & Wohl, 1956), affective investment, and participatory culture, where audiences actively contribute to meaning- making (Jenkins, 2006).
ย 

Another layer emerges through the real-life story of EJAE (Lee Jae), the singer behind the filmโ€™s main character. In South Korea, EJAE trained under SM Entertainment for years but did not debut and was dropped in 2015, later building a successful career in the U.S. This trajectory is often read as a quiet critique of a highly competitive education and training culture that prioritizes endurance over sustainability, inviting reflection on how talent and cultural labor are unevenly valued (Hesmondhalgh, 2019).

Ultimately, K-Pop Demon Hunters is not simply a story about idols and demons. It is a platform text that reveals how global media culture operatesโ€”how identities are packaged, fandoms mobilized, and success unevenly distributed within the platform society (van Dijck, Poell, & de Waal, 2018). For educators, the film offers an opportunity to help students ask not only what they are watching, but under what conditions such watching becomes possible.
