Kpop Demon Hunters: How South Korean Soft Power Boosts U.S. Influence
K-Pop: Demon Hunters looks like pure Korean soft power — but behind the glitter lies an American remix.
In this episode of Les RI contre-attaquent, we unpack how Netflix’s animated fantasy uses K-pop idols to project U.S. influence: from the Met Gala to songs in English, from hybrid characters to the celebration of individuality over collective identity.
🎧 Key themes:
Why global success still runs through the U.S.
K-pop as a tool of American cultural strategy
The clash between idol “manufacture” and U.S.-style self-expression
A film more Americanized than it first appears.
