‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ Director Maggie Kang Teases Jin-woo’s Fate: “Is He Really Gone? We Don’t Know Yet”

At a press conference held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul on the 22nd, director Maggie Kang of the Netflix film K-Pop Demon Hunters shared her thoughts on the fate of Jin-woo, one of the film’s main characters.

In K-Pop Demon Hunters, the male lead Jin-woo meets a seemingly tragic end. With fans eagerly speculating about a possible sequel, MC Park Seul-gi voiced the burning question on everyone’s mind: “I don’t think Jin-woo is really dead. But I can see why people might think so.”

Director Maggie Kang responded with a knowing smile, saying, “That’s one way to see it, but honestly, we just don’t know yet. And you know, Korean content often leans into tragedy.” Her cryptic answer has only fueled anticipation for a potential follow-up, leaving fans wondering if Jin-woo might return after all.

K-Pop Demon Hunters is an action fantasy animation that follows K-pop superstars Lumi, Mira, and Joy as they secretly fight to protect the world behind the dazzling lights of the stage. Since its release, the film has consistently held a spot in Netflix’s Global Top 10 list for English-language films, capturing the hearts of viewers worldwide.
