In which city is most of KPop Demon Hunters set?

Most of KPop Demon Hunters is set in Seoul.

The South Korean capital provides the film’s main urban backdrop, linking the fictional idols’ celebrity lives with their hidden supernatural work. Concert venues, city streets, landmarks, and traditional cultural references appear alongside the fantasy action.

Seoul is important to the story’s identity because K-pop is not treated as a generic international style. The film places idol training, fan devotion, performance culture, and Korean visual motifs inside a specifically Korean setting. This helps the magical elements feel connected to the world of the characters rather than detached from it.

The movie also uses Seoul’s contrast between modern entertainment spaces and older traditions. HUNTR/X’s polished performances sit alongside mythology-inspired demons, magical barriers, and Korean design details. That mixture is one reason the film is often described as both a contemporary pop musical and a supernatural adventure.
