Official LEGO KPop Demon Hunters sets might sounds like a dream proposition for fans, it’s actually entirely possible and could be within reach.
With fans cosplaying as their favourite characters and filming dance videos to My Little Soda Pop, it was only a matter of time until LEGO Ideas had builds inspired by KPop Demon Hunters. The theme has now been officially announced by the LEGO Group – but that doesn’t mean that the fans didn’t get their first…
Set in the bustling metropolis of Seoul and focusing on the colourful world of K-pop music, KPop Demon Hunters from Netflix has plenty of potential to inspire LEGO sets. The film has numerous locations, incredible costumes, and an adorable tiger which would all be perfect for an entire wave of models. Whether it’s through mini-dolls or minifigures, bringing Rumi, Zoey, Mira, and the Saja Boys to life would likely be immensely popular with many fans.
And they could become a reality sooner rather than later. LEGO Ideas us currently listing three KPop Demon Hunters product ideas. The platform is a place where fans can share their creations that they would like to see become sets; if enough other users vote for them and they make it to 10,000, the LEGO Group will consider adapting the model as an official product.
Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, is grabbing some kimbap and going through the details…
K-Pop Demon Hunters by Truman Cheng
This stunningly colourful build by fan designer, TrumanBricks, focuses on the single that Huntr/x release in order to restore the Honmoon and protect the world from demons. It features the main stage that the girls perform on and the background is the Five Peaks – a symbol associated with royalty that originates from the Joseon era. Minifigures of Rumi, Zoey, and Mira are included, sporting the black and gold costumes specific to the song. There’s also a little brick-built Derpy to help Rumi on magical rides down the Han River.

The Tiger and the Three-Eyed Crow by Aggravator
Speaking of Derpy, this next idea, submitted by the fan designer under the username Aggravator, is a character study of this adorable duo. It’s similar in style to the official LEGO sets for 43249 Stitch and 10375 How To Train Your Dragon: Toothless, as Derpy is in a cute sitting position with a poseable head and tail. Derpy’s expression looks absolutely perfect and one of the notecards Jinu sends to Rumi is on his tongue (that’s cat mail). Using a LEGO heart element for the nose is ingenius! A tiger and magpie together is a symbol from Minhwa folk art, a type of historical Korean satire based on the hierarchy in society that dominated Joseon’s feudal era.
HUNTR/X Golden Concert! by DavidCreates
With Golden still topping the K-pop charts it’s no surprise that it has inspired two fan models. This one is by DavidCreates and it also features the stage on which Huntr/x perform. It’s a little more muted in colour but this does let the Five Peaks artwork stand out and the sun and moon are also clearly visible – the celestial bodies represented the king and queen. All of the girls are in their signature costumes and Zoey has short minifigure legs to better represent her height difference. Their logo is also splashed onto the front of the stage in golden writing and it really completes the idea of a concert.
