K-pop Demon Hunters - Hidden K-pop

The song playing before entering the concert hall.

"Look Back at Me" by Deux. It's a song from 1993.

It was famous when it was released, and after watching a movie, I keep listening to it. I listen to it while jogging, and it makes me feel young and fresh again.

The ringtone when Hunt Rix's manager Bobby calls.

"Shilla's Night" by Doctor Lee, released in 1996. The instrumental and tone are super exciting. The singer is also known as "Exciting Doctor Lee."

The song playing when Hunt Rix meets the Lion Boys for the first time.

EXO - "Love Me Right" (2015). Cool members appear like in a boy band song. Though they're spirits, they disguise themselves as humans.

The moment Lumi brushes past Jinwoo. There's a Korean expression about capturing something in your eyes. It humorously shows the feeling of falling in love. The music playing at this time is "Is It Love" by MeloMance, released in 2022.

In Korean romance dramas, there's a cliché where a man helps a woman who falls after bumping into her while riding a bike or missing a step, to emphasize a fateful meeting. It's been shown in movies for ages, but it doesn't get boring. Maybe it's because handsome and beautiful people naturally have skinship, and it's not overdone but beautiful.

The soft music playing when Lumi and Jinwoo meet on the fortress path.

"As the Night Deepens" by Seo Taiji and Boys. It's a song from 1992, and Seo Taiji had a big impact on Korean pop music. It's a fitting song for Jinwoo, who is a spirit, and Lumi, who has a secret.

​

K-pop from the past is used appropriately in the movie, making the story richer. Listening to it separately makes the process of Jinwoo and Lumi worrying and making decisions feel real.

The songs make you feel that as bright as youth is, there were many mistakes and pains.
