Everland will unveil a new themed zone inspired by the Netflix animated film “KPOP DEMON HUNTERS” on September 26, Samsung C&T announced Monday.
Created in collaboration with Netflix, this attraction will bring the film’s characters and settings to life. Visitors will meet HUNTR/X, the SAJA BOYS, and enjoy Korean street food called K-Bunsik. The park plans interactive missions, photo zones, character costumes, exclusive merchandise, and themed food.
The animated film tells the story of a Kpop girl group battling demons across iconic Korean landmarks. It has become Netflix’s most-watched animated film to date, with its original soundtrack topping both Billboard and UK singles charts.
Songs like “Golden,” “Soda pop,” and “Your idol” will be featured in the Everland attraction.
Everland said the project aims to provide an immersive cultural experience highlighting Korean themes while appealing to both local and international visitors.
“This collaboration with Netflix will be a special project allowing guests to experience the world of ‘KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ with all five senses. We hope Everland will become a cultural hub introducing Korean culture to both domestic and international visitors,” said a Samsung C&T spokesperson.
This is the second collaboration between Everland and Netflix, following last year’s themed zones based on “All of us are dead” (2022) and “Stranger things” (2016-).
Everland is also continuing to develop attractions featuring its own characters, like the Bao panda family and Leshy & Friends, while expanding partnerships with external intellectual properties such as Sanrio characters and the manga series “One Piece” (1997-).
Meanwhile, Everland’s autumn festival will start Friday, featuring a “Wizard of Oz” theme with installations like Emerald City and Blood City throughout the park.
