K-Pop Demon Hunters wins two Oscars

🌏 K-Pop Demon Hunters wins two Oscars 🎬⁠
⁠
Congratulations to the K-Pop Demon Hunters team on winning two Oscars - Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. This is an extraordinary milestone, coming after the title track Golden received the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song earlier this year. Beyond its creative excellence, this achievement has deeply resonated with the Korean community around the world and in Australia, who continue to play an important role in strengthening cultural, social and economic ties between our two countries.⁠
⁠
Maggie Kang, the director, writer and creator of the K-Pop Demon Hunters, in her acceptance remarks says "For those who look like me, I'm so sorry it took so long for us to see us in a movie like this.... This is for Korea and Koreans everywhere". Her words reflect why this moment goes far beyond film - it celebrates connection, identity and community.⁠
⁠
The global momentum of K‑culture, including K‑pop and now K-Pop Demon Hunters, has become a meaningful driver of Australia–Korea engagement. These cultural touchpoints are not just entertainment; they are enhancing Australia’s understanding of Korea, boosting tourism flows, creating new people‑to‑people links and supporting broader economic cooperation. Cultural industries continue to open doors for dialogue, partnership and shared opportunity across the two nations.⁠
⁠
A proud moment for the filmmakers and a sign of the powerful soft‑power bridge that continues to grow between Australia and Korea. 👏 🇦🇺🇰🇷⁠
