Netflix has released an animated “How It’s Done” rehearsal showing the complete choreography performed by HUNTR/X in “KPop Demon Hunters”. Rumi, Mira and Zoey appear in a dance studio, presenting movements that the film intercut with action. A separate performance features choreographer Leejung Lee alongside BAMBI and Nara, giving viewers both animated and real-dancer versions of the routine rather than announcing a new song.
“KPop Demon Hunters” takes HUNTR/X away from demon battles and into a dance studio in Netflix’s new animated rehearsal. Rumi, Mira and Zoey perform “How It’s Done” from beginning to end in training clothes. With no enemies interrupting or action scenes dividing attention, the routine can be watched as a complete practice performance by the fictional group.
In the film, the song accompanies the opening sequence as the characters fight demons aboard an aircraft. Their musical performance and choreography form part of that action, but the editing does not show every movement continuously. The rehearsal supplies a different view of existing material, separating the dance from the conflicts and transitions that shape the cinematic scene.
The studio arrangement resembles practice videos made by real K-pop groups. Rumi and Zoey wear black training outfits, while Mira has a white top and black trousers. The simpler setting makes formations and coordinated movements clearer, allowing viewers to follow how the three change places rather than concentrating on costumes, enemies or the surrounding story.
The routine moves its centre between different members according to the section of the song. Quick steps and combinations require close synchronisation, while transitions link one choreographic phrase with the next. In “KPop Demon Hunters”, some of that connective movement is covered by changing shots. Here, the group’s arrangement remains the focus of the presentation.
Leejung Lee created the choreography, bringing the energy of a real girl-group performance to the animated characters. Although the three heroines are fictional singers, their movements were designed according to the practical logic of a musical routine. That relationship becomes more visible when the dance is presented apart from the film’s action and narrative demands.
Netflix also released a version with real dancers. Leejung performs alongside BAMBI, also known as Park Jieun, and Nara, or Lee Nara. They execute the same choreography in a complete performance video, giving viewers another way to understand the physical movement, especially fast changes of position and direction that can appear differently in animation.
The two videos therefore have distinct roles. The animated rehearsal keeps HUNTR/X within their fictional world, behaving like a group preparing an appearance. The live-action version turns attention towards actual bodies performing the movements. Both extend the presentation of “KPop Demon Hunters” through the same song and routine, without needing to rewrite the music or create a new single.
“How It’s Done” was already available on the soundtrack. EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick and Danny Chung wrote the song, with production contributions from 24, IDO, TEDDY and Ian Eisendrath. EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI provide the singing voices for HUNTR/X, but those vocal performers are not the people seen executing the routine in the new real-dancer video.
The recording combines forceful rhythmic sections, rap delivery and melodic changes. Those contrasts give the choreography different kinds of movement to work with, from sharper gestures to shifts in formation. Seeing the complete practice makes those changes easier to follow than the film sequence, where the song also has to support characters moving through a fight.
Within “KPop Demon Hunters”, the heroines balance music careers with a hidden demon-hunting mission. In the rehearsal, training clothes, studio space and the absence of spectators foreground the preparation of a performance instead. It resembles an everyday working format familiar to K-pop audiences, offering another way to see the characters without announcing a new episode of their story.
Dance-practice videos allow audiences to study group formations beyond the finished music-video edit. Instead of repeatedly following only whoever is singing, the wider arrangement gives each member’s position a clearer place. Netflix adopts that approach in animation, creating material viewers can watch for choreography or use while trying to learn the movements themselves.
The release belongs to a broader official choreography programme including HUNTR/X’s “Golden” and “Takedown” and the Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol”. These presentations reveal full routines and formations not always visible in the original “KPop Demon Hunters” scenes. They expand the visual material around familiar songs rather than presenting the recordings as entirely new musical releases.
Original choreographers involved in the wider programme include Nain of Jam Republic, Leejung Lee of THEBLACKLABEL and K-Tigers. Netflix has also announced special episodes explaining characteristic poses and formations. Those additions turn attention towards the people designing the animated performances, alongside the finished movement associated with “KPop Demon Hunters” and its soundtrack.
Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans directed “KPop Demon Hunters”, released on Netflix in June 2025. Its music gained an audience beyond the story itself, giving further performance material a place alongside the feature. The new rehearsal follows that route by letting a musical sequence stand on its own, with the choreography receiving more space than it had during the original action.
Rumi’s visible markings have prompted some viewers to interpret the rehearsal as taking place after the film’s events. Netflix presents it as a choreography video, however, not a confirmed continuation of the plot. That detail does not establish the story of another production. The verified offering remains two complete versions of the dance: animated HUNTR/X and Leejung’s performance with BAMBI and Nara.
