Is HYBE Dropping the Next 'KPop Demon Hunters'? New Film in the Works
HYBE America just teamed up with Paramount Pictures to create a K-pop-themed movie that's hitting theaters on February 12, 2027. Yes, a full-on Hollywood movie—but set entirely in South Korea!
What's the Movie About?
It follows a Korean-American girl who defies her family to audition for a reality TV show, hoping to join the next big K-pop girl group. The storyline's giving underdog dreams, passion, and full K-drama energy. Title? Still under wraps.
Who's in It?
Jiyoung Yoo, who voiced Zoey in Netflix's K-Pop Demon Hunters, and Eric Nam —yup, the singer—are taking the lead.
Filming Starts Soon
Production kicks off mid-September in South Korea, making it the first Hollywood film shot entirely in Korea. Talk about a milestone!
Big Names Behind the Scenes
Director Benson Lee calls this his 'love letter to K-pop.' The team includes writer Eileen Shim, HYBE America's James Shin, and even Scooter Braun as one of the producers. Paramount's Bryan Oh is overseeing the whole thing.
