She could definitely relate.
VIVIZ’s Umji recently left fans in stitches with her commentary on Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters, hilariously pointing out just how accurate, and of course, unrealistic, some of the scenes were to real idol life.
On her fan-messaging app, Umji didn’t hold back when talking about the film’s depiction of K-Pop group dynamics, chaotic schedules, and questionable styling choices. Referring specifically to The Saja Boys member Mystery’s dramatic hairdo, she joked, “I think around 3,000 fans would’ve petitioned for them to change their salon.” Member Mystery was purposely given a hairstyle that covered his entire face.
But it didn’t stop there. Umji also shared a screencap from the movie, a scene showing the fictional group Huntr/x scarfing down snacks while reaffirming their love for their fans.
She captioned it simply: “This is basically VIVIZ in waiting rooms,” once again referring to the girls’ immense love for food and their fans.
Fans and fellow idols alike are now praising KPop Demon Hunters for capturing the organized chaos of idol life with surprising accuracy, despite its supernatural premise With idols themselves chiming in, KPop Demon Hunters has proven to be more than just entertainment. It is also comedic reprieve and source of relatability to many idols out there.
