A note for families: KPop Demon Hunters
What it is
KPop Demon Hunters is a Netflix animated movie whose characters are leading kids' Halloween costume picks this year, and it is a harmless way to connect with your child's current interests.
How much it matters
Harmless. A way into your kid’s world, and something to enjoy together.
Should you worry?
There is no particular risk to flag here. If you want a light check, notice where your child watches clips and fan content, since any video platform can lead to unrelated material. Keep viewing in shared spaces if they are younger, and ask what they like about it.
What to say
“I keep hearing about KPop Demon Hunters. Can you show me what it's about? Who would you dress up as for Halloween?”
