NETFLIX Releases “K-Pop Demon Hunters” Official Choreographies
Approximately one year and four months after the premiere of the animated film “K-Pop Demon Hunters”, NETFLIX has unveiled the choreographies of the movie’s hit soundtracks.
The newly released videos feature complete dance performances for five tracks: “How It’s Done”, “Golden”, “Takedown”, “Soda Pop”, and “Your Idol”. The routines showcase choreography and formations that were not fully visible in the original film.

“Takedown” and “Golden” have been choreographed by Jo Nain, mononymously known as NAIN. She is famous for contributing in choreographies for MAVE:, ITZY, NMIXX, TEN (NCT), Babymonster and more.
“Soda Pop” and “Your Idol”, on the other hand, have been choreographed by K-Tigers. The group combines high-energy choreography with Taekwondo. It has gone viral multiple times for k-pop covers.
Lastly, the choreographer of “How It’s Done” is Leejung Lee, dancer under THE BLACK LABEL. She gained recognition for her work on choreographies for TREASURE, ITZY, TWICE, BLACKPINK and more.

The dancers worked on either producing their own choreography from scratch or combining elements from the original dance as seen in the film and filling in the gaps for the moves that remained unknown.
