Netflix and AEG Presents Announce Global Concert Tour for 'KPop Demon Hunters'
Introduction
Netflix has announced a partnership with AEG Presents to launch a global concert tour based on the animated movie 'KPop Demon Hunters'.
Main Body
Amy Reinhard, Netflix's president of advertising, shared the news during a presentation in New York. The company wants to take advantage of the film's huge success; since it premiered in June 2025, it has become the most-watched movie on the platform with over 500 million views. Furthermore, Ms. Reinhard emphasized the film's cultural impact, noting a 25 percent increase in tourism to South Korea and high visibility at major international events. However, specific details such as dates and ticket information have not been released yet. There is also some uncertainty regarding the performances. Although singers Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami have performed the hit song 'Golden' at major awards shows, it is unclear if they will appear in person. Consequently, reports suggest that Netflix might use holographic technology because the songs are physically demanding to sing live. Meanwhile, the agency WME has suggested a separate tour for the singers as an alternative. To ensure the tour stays true to the original vision, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will serve as consultants. The duo, who have a long-term contract with Netflix, are also currently working on a sequel. Their work on the first film was highly praised, winning an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe.
Conclusion
The tour is planned to start next year, and more details are expected to be announced by the end of this year.

- Meanwhile (Instead of saying "at the same time") Use this to switch focus to a different person or company doing something else.
- Example: Netflix is planning a tour. Meanwhile, WME is suggesting a different idea.
