The animated musical urban fantasy film "KPop Demon Hunters' follows a K-pop girl group, Huntr/x, who lead double lives as demon hunters.
They face off against a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons.
At the Steel Ice Center event, DJ Joel Shimer will spin a mix of "KPop Demon Hunters" anthems and fan-favorite K-Pop tunes throughout the event.
There also will be group sing-alongs, dance breaks and plenty of photo-ops.
