Our Family’s K-Pop Demon Hunters Era

 I’ve lived through the full toddler era with my kids — the loud, funny, chaotic, and absolutely unforgettable years.

From singing along to Baby Shark, The Wheels on the Bus, If You’re Happy and You Know It, and Five Little Monkeys, our days were basically a nonstop toddler soundtrack. Those tiny voices, the giggles, the dances in the living room… they were exhausting at times, but they were also some of the sweetest moments we’ll ever have.

Then came the little-kid period, filled with strong opinions and even stronger movie obsessions. Iness discovered Frozen and never looked back — she could watch it every day, sing every lyric, and of course her birthday parties were full productions, with her dressed as either Elsa or Anna without fail.

Meanwhile, Ibrahim was deep into the classic “boy favorites”: Toy Story, The Lion King, Cars, Finding Nemo, and Monsters, Inc. If it had adventure, humor, or talking toys, he was all in. Watching them grow through these phases has been a joy — their imaginations made our home brighter every single day.

Now we’re entering an entirely new phase: the K-pop Demon Hunters era. ✨🎬

I’m not going to lie — I actually enjoyed the movie too, and we’ve got the whole soundtrack saved on Spotify for every car ride.

However, what started as a fun little interest has slowly turned into something a bit more… intense. The songs are on repeat, the characters are quoted daily, and apparently our home has become a mini K-pop studio.

And with this new obsession came the requests: my daughter asking for Rumi-purple hair, and my son wanting a K-pop boy-band birthday theme complete with pink hair, hats, and earrings.

As much as I love their excitement and creativity, I’m a traditional, conservative mom at heart. Some things are perfectly fine and fun to explore — like themed parties, music, or costumes — but other things fall outside our family rules, and those are big, non-negotiable no’s. They can enjoy the songs and characters, but the purple hair, pink hair, and earrings will stay on the screen, not in our house. 🚫

And clearly, we’re not the only ones loving the movie, and with kids obsessed about it. Schools are playing the songs in every classroom. The movie has become incredibly popular worldwide. Viewership skyrocketed, the soundtrack climbed streaming charts, and even the real-life singers behind the characters have been rising in fame — performing in cities like New York, L.A., and beyond. The buzz is everywhere, from Fallon Show to fan art to TikToks to Spotify playlists.

So tell me… am I the only one living in a mini K-pop universe at home? Do your kids quote the characters, blast the songs, and dream of becoming demon-fighting idols too? Share your stories and your chaos — I need to know I’m not alone in this whirlwind!
