I love how K Pop Demon Hunters points out SO many issues and so much commentary on the K Pop industry and K Pop idols in general.
The infantilizing of Baby Saja? A commentary on how fans will infantilize and "uwu"-ify grown ass MEN and the industry CAPITALIZES off of it.
The sexualization of Abby? The fact that so many (pretty much all) K Pop idols will be objectified and sexualized to hell, and how their bodies are always on point because the latter is unacceptable.
The fact that the Saja Boys made it up the charts with ONE single, while its implied that Huntrix has been around for YEARS and has worked their way up for fans? But somehow, are now being upstaged by a random boy group? It COULD show how boy bands and such make it up easier than girl bands. (Easy to connect those dots on why that is)
The Saja Boys going from all cutesy, pretty, and upbeat on stage to slouching and bleh out of sight? That shows how no matter how nice, bright, and lovely things seem to be, behind the screen and the cameras can be (may very well likely be) not the case at ALL. This COULD also be communicated through them being literal demons but being loved by the public for the image they put up, not what really is.
Very normal about this movie...
if I may add on, the way Celine & Gwi-Ma represent kpop companies and their mistreatment of artists? Celine being the kpop companies that pressure their artists to put on a facade and never be vulnerable. While Gwi-Ma is the kpop companies that never protect their artists from hate/ harassment and in fact profit of off it along with profiting off of the artists being infantilized, sexualized, stalked, etc.
