Families packed La Palmera Mall to sing and dance along with impersonators from the hit Netflix film K-Pop Demon Hunters.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — It wasn’t sales that drew crowds to La Palmera Mall on Sunday.
Instead, families gathered for a live performance by Rumi, Zoey, and Mira — a trio of impersonators whose characters many kids instantly recognized from the Netflix hit, K-Pop Demon Hunters.
“We’ve been watching it, I don’t know how many times — a million, a million times,” a mother and daughter said.
The performers transformed the shopping center into a mini-concert, with fans singing and dancing along to every song. Parents said the music has become a constant soundtrack at home and even at work.
“Sometimes I am at work and I’m singing the song. My husband, too,” the mother said. “He sings the songs at work, at the house, when he’s studying — when he studies, he’s singing the song.”
Families packed balconies and stairways to get a glimpse of the performers, creating an energetic atmosphere that felt more like a concert than a mall appearance.
“People were waiting all along the balcony and all through the stairs,” the impersonators said. “Everywhere they knew we were going to walk through, they were there. It was crazy. We were amazed the first time, but this last one was even more awesome. We felt all the energy.”
The group said moments like these are what make performing worthwhile, especially seeing young fans connect through music.
“It is so amazing to see all the girls come together into songs that we write and that we’ve performed,” they said. “They are singing with us. We are all in this together. The thing is, they know the words better than us, and I’m like, wow, you guys really know this.”
The impersonators travel across town to different events, bringing the experience to fans of all ages.
“All ages love this film,” fan Joseph Tafur said. “They all love K-Pop Demon Hunters. The success proves how much success K-Pop Demon Hunters has become.”
For many families, the event was about more than just a performance — it was a chance to create lasting memories.
“It took me a good while to do her hair, so she’s happy about it,” the mother said. “Yes, I will come back again.”
The event became a celebration of fandom, energy, and community — bringing families together through music and shared excitement.
