Who composed the orchestral score for KPop Demon Hunters?

Marcelo Zarvos composed the orchestral score for KPop Demon Hunters.

Zarvos’s score is separate from the film’s pop soundtrack. The soundtrack contains songs performed by the fictional groups HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys, while the score supplies instrumental music for action, emotion, suspense, and transitions between scenes.

The score album, titled KPop Demon Hunters (Score from the Netflix Film), was released on December 19, 2025. The later release date can cause confusion because the main soundtrack album came out on June 20, the same day the film began streaming.

Zarvos has composed music for film and television projects across different genres. For KPop Demon Hunters, his work had to support a story that moves between concert spectacle, Korean-inspired fantasy, comedy, and supernatural combat. That combination makes the instrumental score an important part of the film’s atmosphere even though the pop songs received the most public attention.
