However, it seems like we might not have to wait too much longer to see Huntr\/x, the film\u2019s demon-slaying K-pop group, again, as the Motion Picture Association has leaked that a short film follow-up has been rated.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filmratings.com\/Content\/Downloads\/cara_rating_bulletin.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">document on the MPA film ratings website<\/a> includes a listing for something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story, which is rated PG for \u201csome action\/violence and scary images.\u201d Sony is listed as the distributor, and the listing says it is a \u201cshort subject,\u201d which is a designation given to short films rather than the feature-length movies the ratings board usually handles. The fact that it\u2019s already been rated means that its release is probably imminent, and the title suggests it could cover the early days of Huntr\/x\u2019s K-pop career. Maybe we\u2019ll get to see the girls meet for the first time, learn the truth about the demons preying upon humanity, and establish themselves as a dominant force in the K-pop world. If so, we might also get some new songs?<\/p>\n<p>All of this is speculation right now, but it was established back in 2023 that Sony would produce a short film based on KPop Demon Hunters <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/artisans\/news\/spider-verse-short-film-spider-within-sony-animation-1235567757\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">through its LENS mentorship program<\/a>, which was also responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FcGPpwFdE1Y\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story<\/a>, a seven-minute-long short based on the Spider-Verse movies. It\u2019s unclear if Debut will be streaming on Netflix like the full movie or if it will be on publicly available channels like YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>If there is new music, I\u2019ll have to update our <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/kpop-demon-hunters-best-worst-songs-soundtrack-ranking-2000616633\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ranking of the movie\u2019s original songs<\/a>, though it will take something really special to dethrone the song in the number one spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We know KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix\u2019s animated musical that has set the world on fire for the past&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23567,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,1729,409],"class_list":["post-23566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-kpop-demon-hunters","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
