Lifestyle Trend: How KPop Demon Hunters fans are recreating the experience in Seoul You Should Know

At a dance studio near Cheonggyecheon Stream in central Seoul on September 6, some 30 young foreigners moved in sync to shouts of encouragement in a mix of Korean and English.

Though some stumbled at first, laughter quickly turned to focus as the music swelled and the rhythm took over.

The session was part of “Learn K-pop Dance”, a weekly programme run by the Seoul Tourism Organisation every Saturday.

Kiana, a 24-year-old visitor from Iran, said: “I went to [the] Han River and Naksan Park, where KPop Demon Hunters was set, but learning the dance together feels more special than just visiting filming spots.”

The film, known as Ke-de-heon in Korean, has become an unofficial guide for foreign visitors. Rather than simply snapping photos at landmarks such as Naksan Fortress Trail, N Seoul Tower or Jamsil Sports Complex – all featured in the show – fans are recreating the experience.
