With 235 million views since its Netflix debut, KPop Demon Hunters has become the streamer’s most popular film of all time. At the heart of its global success is the groundbreaking sound design crafted by Michael Babcock — Sound Designer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Re-recording Mixer. Michael shares how he infused the polished, high-energy world of K-pop into the film’s sonic landscape, blending layered vocals, reverb, and beats with organic sound elements tuned to the rhythm of the action. From the playful “Soda Pop” street performance to the bathhouse battle and stadium finale, Michael takes us inside the soundscapes that brought this animated sensation to life.
