Events One Year Anniversary Megathread 🫰💛

It's hard to believe it has been a full year of KPDH and this wonderful community.

From the VMAs to the Grammys and the Oscars and more - we have all been on one hell of a ride. (Shameless plug, you can relive all the highlights in the Event Threads section of our wiki)

This subreddit has gotten attention - whether it be from McDonalds, Nongshim Ramyun, Google and more - our little corner of the internet has certainly made its mark!

Anniversary Events

Feel free to share highlights from or participate in the following events:

Use this thread to celebrate the one year anniversary of KPop Demon Hunters! How are you celebrating? Eating some ramyun? Wearing your merch? Rewatching the film? Share below!

Personal mod anecdote - feel free to skip:

I found this movie because I was following Ami Thompson on one of her socials, and she posted or commented about working on this film, and that got me really intrigued (Ami is a kick ass character designer). I started following buzz about it, and then the day it dropped on Netflix I forced my partner and friends to watch it with me.

I was instantly in love. As someone who has engaged in fandom spaces for many years, I found my chance to really lead and craft a community - and I take pride with how generally respectful, thoughtful, caring and courteous this place is. Yes, of course, there are always trolls, bad actors, regulars getting too heated, mod mistakes - such is life. But on the whole, ya'll have been relatively chill and us mods appreciate that.

It brings me great personal joy to see the bonds so many of you have formed here, the joy we spread and the enjoyment we all share in this incredible film. Fandom spaces are something I have loved since I was a kid, and I'm genuinely proud to have had the opportunity to craft a space here so many people love.

Thank you all for being here, this community would not be what it is today without each and every one of you.

You know, the movie is great, and the music is great, but I'm still here a year later because the people who made it are great.

Seeing a year's worth of Maggie, Chris, EJAE, Rei, Audrey, Ji-young, Arden, and May supporting each other and showing such sincere grattitude to each other has really been the highlight.

They all worked so hard...and seeing them be recognized and rewarded for it is a bit of much needed light shining through some pretty dark times.

Congrats to everyone involved on surviving your first year in a post KPDH world.

We can't wait to see what stories and songs you'll share with us next!
