We were invited to celebrate the KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along Event. Here’s why this is a must-do experience for fans of the film.
In celebration of the global hit, which is currently the most-watched Netflix animated original film of all time, KPop Demon Hunters A Sing-Along Event invites HUNTR/X and Saja Boys fans to a sing-along version of the wildly popular animated film coming to theaters all around the world. Netflix invited Mama’s Geeky to join a very special version of this, complete with cast appearances. To say this was an unforgettable night is an understatement.
No Need To Hold It In — Belt It Out Instead
Screaming along the words to your favorite song in a movie on your couch is one thing, but it is a whole other vibe to do so in a packed theater with people who are just as big a fan as you are. One of the main reasons I love going to a concert is because of the communal feeling that it brings.
There is nothing quite like connecting with an artist and others who were touched, and often saved, by their music. Yes, KPop Demon Hunters already got a short theatrical release, but it really blew up at home. Our house alone has streamed it more times than I can count, and the soundtrack is on repeat. In fact, it even opened our eyes to the world of K-pop, something I cannot imagine being without.
Not having to bite your tongue and keep from singing along while the film is playing on the big screen is part of the pure joy that the KPop Demon Hunters A Sing-Along Event brings. It really felt special to forget our troubles for one evening and disappear into the world of HUNTR/X and Saja Boys. The only thing that would be better is a live concert featuring all the singing voices – are you listening Netflix?
Our Unforgettable Experience Meeting EJAE
EJAE, the singing voice of Rumi, also co-wrote many of the KPop Demon Hunters songs. She surprised fans at the LA screening event at Netflix and not only joined up for the sing-along, but stayed after to do a signing and meet and greet.
She got emotional talking about how much it means to her that this movie is so beloved by fans. She has had a long road to here, and jokes that she needs to learn more adjectives because she just keeps saying it feels amazing.
When asked by Jacki Jing, moderator, “If nominated for an Oscar, you would be only the second songwriter of Korean descent to be recognized. What does it mean to be considered for this to you?” EJAE replied, “Oh my God. I should learn more adjectives. Insane, crazy, surreal. It’s just like, oh my God. It’s seriously a dream come true because as a Korean-American woman, it’s very rare to see. So I’m just really grateful that I’m able to be a part of this crazy cultural phenomenon.“
EJAE co-wrote Golden, Your Idol, How It’s Done, and Hunter’s Mantra, here, she exlains what these songs mean to her.
“Well, Golden’s a smash. Golden was so fun because it’s a hopeful song. It meant a lot to me because when I wrote it, I was going through a hard time, so I think I needed that song. I cried singing the demo. But yeah, that’s the hopeful song, and I’m so happy everyone connected with that. How It’s Done is just a freaking banger. It’s a fun song to dance to, to feel badass. Your Idol is just a sexy song that makes the guys look hot. And Mantra means a lot to me because, being Korean-American, I lived half my life in Korea and half in the States. So I love the traditional Korean pansori sound, and I watched a lot of K-dramas with that, so it meant so much that I was able to incorporate that with my own little flair to it. So I hope you guys love it too.” -EJAE
The Saja Boys might be after your soul, but attending the KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along in theaters is sure to heal it. Trust me on that one. So bring your lightstick and sing like no one is listening.
