48 free KPop Demon Hunters trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
This KPop Demon Hunters trivia quiz covers the 2025 Netflix film from the first pitch to the Oscars. It starts with the story: Rumi, Mira and Zoey of Huntrix, the Honmoon they sing into being, Jinu and the Saja Boys, Gwi-Ma's bargain, Celine, and the rainbow barrier at the end. Then it goes behind the scenes: Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the Plastic Walrus comic that gave Rumi her start, Sony Pictures Imageworks in Vancouver and Montreal, the minhwa tiger-and-magpie art behind Derpy and Sussie, the glitter borrowed from The Villainess, and the taekwondo in the Saja Boys' choreography. The easy questions are the ones any fan can answer: who voices Rumi, what the hunters' barrier is called, which song Huntrix rush out to expose the boys. The harder ones ask who was first imagined as Gwi-Ma, how many theatres the sing-along opened in, which Netflix film it passed as most-watched, how much Netflix paid Sony, and which Grammy category 'Golden' won. For the wider genre, our K-pop trivia quiz and animated movies quiz are the broader pages. Every answer was checked against the encyclopaedia entry for the film before publishing, and the sentence that supports it is stored with each question.

Q 01Which awards ruled KPop Demon Hunters ineligible because its theatrical run followed its streaming debut?
BAFTA Film Awards
BAFTA Film Awards. The British Academy rejected Netflix's appeal, yet one week in just three American cinemas in June 2025 had been enough to qualify the film for the Oscars.
Q 02Which studio produced KPop Demon Hunters for Netflix?
Sony Pictures Animation
Sony Pictures Animation. The studio developed and made the film but sold it to Netflix rather than release it in cinemas, so most of the rewards from the hit went to the streamer.
Q 03Maggie Kang rooted the singing demon hunters of KPop Demon Hunters in which Korean spiritual tradition?
Shamanism
Shamanism. Kang linked the hunters to mudang, Korea's mostly female shamans, who used song and dance to ward off evil for their communities, much as Huntrix do with concerts.
Q 04In KPop Demon Hunters, what is the magical barrier that keeps demons out called?
Honmoon
Honmoon. Huntrix power it through their singing and their fans' devotion, which is why the Saja Boys attack by stealing those fans rather than by fighting.
Q 05In KPop Demon Hunters, Rumi fights demons with a saingeom, a traditional Korean what?
A sword
A sword. The saingeom, or four tiger sword, was a ceremonial Korean blade made for slaying demons, so the designers gave it to the hunter keenest on doing exactly that.
Q 06In KPop Demon Hunters, which former hunter raised Rumi and knows she is half-demon?
Celine
Celine. She adopted Rumi after the girl's mother, her fellow hunter and bandmate, died in childbirth, then taught her to keep her demon patterns hidden from everyone.
Q 07In KPop Demon Hunters, what did Jinu give Gwi-Ma in exchange for fame?
His soul
His soul. By his own account Jinu struck the bargain to lift his family out of poverty, and it left him a demon trapped in darkness under Gwi-Ma's control.
Q 08Which song do Huntrix rush to write to expose the Saja Boys before the Idol Awards?
Takedown
Takedown. Half-demon Rumi struggles to sing its demon-hating lines, so the group shelves it, until demons disguised as her bandmates trick her into performing it on stage.
Q 09In KPop Demon Hunters, what colour is the new barrier Huntrix create after defeating Gwi-Ma?
Rainbow
Rainbow. The filmmakers decided the gold seal the hunters had chased was a false goal, one pure and perfect colour, so the ending swaps it for many colours at once.

Arden Cho
Arden Cho. She first auditioned to play the group's older mentor, and it was director Maggie Kang who encouraged her to try for the lead instead.
Q 11Which actor voices the demon king Gwi-Ma in KPop Demon Hunters?
Lee Byung-hun

Q 12Who provides the speaking voice of Zoey, the rapper of Huntrix, in KPop Demon Hunters?
Ji-young Yoo
Ji-young Yoo. She plays Zoey as the group's only Korean American, a Burbank girl who keeps pitching ideas because she is afraid of seeming replaceable.

Ejae. She spent more than a decade as a K-pop trainee before turning to songwriting, and says she poured the feelings of those years into the lyrics of 'Golden'.
Q 21Which series' first season did KPop Demon Hunters overtake in September 2025 as Netflix's most-watched title ever?

Q 22Which major cinema chain declined to show the KPop Demon Hunters sing-along in August 2025?

National Museum of Korea
Q 14The Saja Boys' sugary debut song 'Soda Pop' was written in the style of which BTS hit?

Q 15Teddy Park, a producer of the KPop Demon Hunters songs, co-founded which Korean music company?
The Black Label
The Black Label. Its YG roots made 2NE1 and Blackpink early reference points for Huntrix, but Maggie Kang says Teddy's team pushed to give the trio a sound of its own.
Q 16Three members of which real girl group recorded a song for the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack?
Twice
Twice. Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung sing the version heard over the credits, which Maggie Kang called proof that the film had managed to 'make a real K-pop group'.
Q 17Which soundtrack, before KPop Demon Hunters, last had three top-five Hot 100 hits at once?
Saturday Night Fever
Saturday Night Fever. The Bee Gees-led album did it in 1978, while this one got there on streaming: radio barely played 'Golden' at first, which held it at number two for weeks.
Q 18KPop Demon Hunters was the first soundtrack to top the Billboard 200 since which Disney film's?
Encanto

Q 19'Golden' made Huntrix the first girl group to top the Billboard Hot 100 since which act?
Destiny's Child
Destiny's Child. Their 'Bootylicious' led the chart in 2001, and it took a group that does not exist to end the wait: Huntrix are cartoon characters sung by three real vocalists.
Q 20Which film did KPop Demon Hunters pass in August 2025 to become Netflix's most-watched movie?
Red Notice
Red Notice. The caper had Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot; the cartoon beat it without a bankable headline star, its audience still growing a month after release.
National Museum of Korea. Its July 2025 crowds were more than double the previous year's, with queues before opening, as fans hunted souvenirs based on the old paintings behind the film's animals.
Q 24Which horror film did the KPop Demon Hunters sing-along knock off the top of the US box office in August 2025?

Q 25For which song do the Saja Boys appear in black hanbok and horsehair hats, dressed as Korean grim reapers?
Your Idol
Your Idol. While it was being written the team simply called it the Black Hats song, after the costumes of the jeoseung saja, the reapers who lead souls to the afterlife.
Q 26The stage where Huntrix sing 'Golden' copies a traditional Korean screen that once stood behind what?
The king's throne
The king's throne. The screen, called irworobongdo, shows a sun, a moon and five peaks; it stood wherever a Joseon king sat as a sign of his authority, and here it backs three pop singers.

Best Song Written for Visual Media
Best Song Written for Visual Media. It was the first Grammy ever won by a K-pop song, something BTS had not managed in five nominations.
