˂케이팝 데몬 헌터스˃에 나타난 악마 모티프의 산업적 알레고리와 의미 구조

초록

Interpreting the ‘devil motif’ in KPop Demon Hunters unveils the systemic frictions within the K-Pop industry. Beyond mere horror, this motif serves as a signifier of capitalist desire and the commodification of the body. While the visual mise-en-scène reflects internal anxieties, the ‘Saja Boys’ performances illustrate a predatory logic between idols and fandom. Furthermore, the ‘Hon-mun’ and character tropes examine hyper-competitiveness and the instrumentalization of artists. Notably, the concluding ‘COMEBACK’ message implies a structural cycle from which subjects can rarely escape. Ultimately, by reflecting on contradictions obscured by spectacle, this analysis positions the work as a significant social text generating critical discourse on contemporary media.
