How Home Media Is Done- “Kpop Demon Hunters” Criterion Release Details Arrive

We saw the battle for the fans, celebrated one year of reaching for golden and oh so much more this year for the global and cultural powerhouse that is the one and only “KPop Demon Hunters.”

As a massive fan of the HUNTR/X trio—yes, we also love the Saja Boys as well—we are here for every single thing these K-pop idols have served up on their golden platter. From the long-awaited release of the toy collections that have been selling out faster than tickets to their in-universe world tour, to holding up the excitement for the already announced tour. It’s a golden time for fans of these record-smashing groups.

Despite their film having been released well over a year ago now, it remains a must-watch film on repeat for so many.

Months ago, news broke that the film was receiving a home media rollout via Criterion Collection. An achievement that highlights the true excellence that is “KPop Demon Hunters.”

Now, we have our first look at the release—and does it ever define what it means to be a golden release.

This may just be the single most perfect cover art fans could dream of.

Slated for arrival ahead of the holiday season—and without question an item appearing on millions of wish lists—with a November 3rd release date, fans can bring home the film. Offerings include a three-disc 4K + Blu-ray option, along with Blu-ray and DVD options, giving fans plenty of choices for bringing home the film that shattered the internet. After all, the internet is never wrong.

Along with the 4K release, fans can be treated to additional physical and digital-based extras including:

DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

  • Lyric videos

  • Trailer

  • English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing and English descriptive audio

Whereas the Blu-ray version offers slightly fewer features:

As well as the DVD offering its own version of features:

With three tiers of releases for every budget type, there is an edition most suited for every type of fan. Though that doesn’t necessarily mean the disc wear isn’t going to be as intense as cheering for your idol inside of a stadium.

The home media release of the biggest recent animated phenomenon not only signals the magnitude of “KPop Demon Hunters,” but also the fan demand for more physical collection items. Coming from the series that has released countless music offerings as CDs and vinyl releases, along with a growing library of books, collectibles and toys, Netflix is making sure “KPop Demon Hunters” becomes a staple inside households globally.

An objective that has been achieved by many—including the likes of myself.
