“K-Pop Demon Hunters,” a record-breaking series on Netflix, has not only captivated audiences but has also catalyzed increased attention towards Korean cuisine, fashion, and tourism.

- Fans are visiting locations featured in the series, such as Naksan Park.
Immersive Cultural Experiences
In response to this influx of interest, Everland, South Korea’s largest theme park operated by Samsung C&T Resort, has introduced an immersive exhibit based on the film. This initiative is part of a broader trend aimed at enhancing cultural experiences for visitors.
Commercial Impact and Merchandise
The franchise has inspired various commercial tie-ins that are quickly selling out. Some of these include:
