It’s the premiere of K Pop Demon Hunters! Do we know what that is? Of course not! But the title is hilarious and the cast turned it out on the red carpet, so we actually don’t need to know anything else about it!
Seriously, these are damn impressive efforts for a Netflix cartoon series premiere. Ladies, we salute your commitment. We’re still gonna judge you, though.
Ji-Young Yoo
This is a “more than the sum of its parts” kinda dress. The skirt is giving trash bag and the colors are pretty harsh, but the overall effect is kind of interesting and the pleating is impressive. We’d like this design a lot more in a different textile and color story.
Arden Cho
This is simple, but pretty and delivers high impact. She’s dressed to match the logo, which is always a nice thing for your corporate paymasters to see, but really, the colors just look great on her and we love the ombre effect.
May Hong
This is almost too interesting for a red carpet. We really like that print, but it doesn’t photograph all that well. Still, the neckline looks very pretty on her and if the hem were a few inches longer, we think it would work better.
Joel Kim Booster
This may be one of the most covered-up we’ve ever seen him on a red carpet. He likes to dress slutty and we love that for him. He’s toned down for a cartoon premiere, but this is all very much in that “chic assault victim” mode that really only works on guys because there’s an underlying cheekiness to it. We think we might have preferred it if he’d just worn the cropped tank top with those dress pants.
ABOUT THE MOVIE:
When they aren’t selling out stadiums, Kpop superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoey use their secret identities as badass demon hunters to protect their fans from an ever-present supernatural threat. Together, they must face their biggest enemy yet – an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise.
