Aron Warner helped produce KPop Demon Hunters after Maggie Kang first presented the concept.
Warner became involved when Kang brought him the early idea for a story combining Korean heritage, mythology, demonology, and K-pop. His producing role helped move the concept toward development as an animated feature at Sony Pictures Animation.
The project eventually became a collaboration involving Kang, co-director Chris Appelhans, screenwriters Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan, and a large music team. Warner’s contribution belongs to the production side rather than the directing or soundtrack-performance side of the film.
Several names connected to the film can sound interchangeable because they all worked on major parts of it. Chris Appelhans co-directed, Teddy Park was a key music producer, and Marcelo Zarvos composed the score. Aron Warner is the producer associated with helping Kang develop the original concept into the feature project.
