Why did I promise a K-Pop Demon Hunters party

My 5 year old and his pals love it too.

So listen to it.

These AI posts are so dreary.

I wish @mnhq would ban the practice of C&ping this crap.

We can all input questions into the limited, bland and error-strewn pattern-matching mess that is AI.

Or we could talk to other humans, ones who have raised little girls and know what they like to do at parties, and share actual advice, recommendations, horror stories and anecdotes.

You’ve already said this.

I’m sure someone else has already suggested or done this for you but couldn’t see it in my skim through of the thread, so here is ChatGPTs ideas:

🎉 Decorations

• Stage + Battleground Combo:
• One corner could be a “mini K-pop stage” with metallic fringe curtains, LED fairy lights, and a Bluetooth speaker for music.
• Another area could be the “demon hunter HQ” with fake stone wall backdrops (paper roll), paper lanterns, and toy swords or staffs on display.
• Lighting: Use glow sticks, neon balloons, and fairy lights to give it a mystical but energetic look.
• Themed Posters: Print posters of popular K-pop groups, but mix them with “hunter crests” or magical symbols (easy to DIY with black card + metallic pens).
• Photo Booth: Props like toy microphones, paper swords, demon masks, and angel wings so the kids can pose as either idols or hunters.

🍱 Food

• K-pop Snacks:
• Mini kimbap rolls (or easier: wraps cut into sushi-style pieces).
• Korean fried chicken bites (mild, not spicy).
• Ramyeon cups (or instant ramen but without the spicy sachet, just chicken flavour).
• “Dokkaebi Donuts” (demon donuts) – ring donuts with colourful glaze and candy eyes.
• “Glow Potion Drinks” – clear cups with lemonade or soda, plus glow stick stirrers (sealed ones so no liquid leaks).
• Fruit skewers with star-shaped melon/pineapple.
• Themed Labels: Print small labels like “Energy Gems” (jelly sweets), “Hunter Elixirs” (fruit juice pouches), “K-pop Idol Cupcakes” (with edible glitter and music notes).

🎁 Party Bags

• Glow sticks or LED bracelets.
• K-pop inspired stickers (hearts, stars, microphones, music notes).
• Small toy sword or keychain weapon (plastic, not sharp).
• Cute notebooks and pens (idol “fan journals” or “hunter logs”).
• Korean candy (like Choco Pie or Pepero – both available in U.K. Asian supermarkets).
• A little face gem sticker pack (so they can do their own idol “stage makeup” later).

🎲 Activities & Games

Dance Battle (K-pop style):

• Play a few easy K-pop songs with simple choreography (like Twice’s Cheer Up or BTS’s Dynamite).
• Let them copy moves, or do freeze dance with the songs.

Demon Hunt Treasure Game:

• Hide small “demons” (plastic spiders, rubber bats, or printed cut-outs) around the house.
• Each child gets a “hunter token” (like a card or small pouch).
• For every demon they find, they earn gems (coloured beads) to “power up.”

Make Your Idol/Hunter Mask:

• Provide plain paper masks + craft supplies (glitter, gems, feathers, metallic pens).
• They can choose to make a glamorous idol mask or a spooky hunter mask.

Potion Mixing Station:

• Clear plastic cups + different coloured juices/squash.
• Kids can mix their own “power potions.” (Keep it fun but safe, with maybe popping candy they can add in for fizz.)

Photo Booth Performance:

• Give them toy microphones, props, and let them take turns performing mini routines or just posing dramatically.

I’m not asking people to agree with me. Not once have I suggested they should.

What fuss exactly? Replying to people who have replied to me or asked a question?

It’s beyond bizarre you have an issue with what someone states they let their kids watch. You seem defensive for some reason. Work on that and let people post their own experiences.

To be fair not many people agree with you.

I can’t believe you’re still derailing after all the fuss you’ve made 😂

My 4.5 year old has probably watched it in excess of 20 times and got me into it. I’ve already ordered her Rumi Costume for Halloween.

Absolutely nothing inappropriate about it.

You said you’d do it because you are fantastic.

Now you need Copilot to help with suggestions.

You also need glow sticks, to put on the movie/soundtrack, a disco ball/disc light, and lots of really nice food plus ramen. The ramen pots are important.

Face paints to draw ‘patterns’.

Dressing up stuff fo be a k pop group.

posters (copilot can draw similar, so long as you don’t mention the film and just describe instead).

put out cupcakes/rich tea biscuits and icing for them to decorate in K-POP demon hunter style.

Foam swords and fake ‘demons’ to conquer.

etc

My 4 yo has seen it several times and loves it. I watched it with my older DD first to check it was suitable.

If you have any friends with a 3D printer Makerworld has a load of keyrings, fidget clickers and flexi Derby and Susi type stuff on there.

Yes I have a Derpy Tiger keychain on my handbag.

My six year old is obsessed with it
I think it's pretty harmless

Maybe buy some pink or purple coloured wigs or hair extensions

See if there are any online dance tutorials to any of the songs

My 8 and 10y olds are obsessed with this movie. Ive watched it with them (many times 🤪) and it is absolutely fine for their age group. I have older teens and monitor this stuff quite closely. They are claier to 11 and 9 though. I personally prob wouldn't have let a 6/7y old watch it, but its pretty mild.

Really interested to hear how the party works out as I think I have to do one in October! I'd definitely do something around the neflfix sing along version. The soundtrack is on Spotify too.

I don't require my point to be agreed with. I'm not arguing a point. What other people let their kids watch and what I let my kids watch is irrelevant.

I have no idea why it bothers you so much. Nowhere have I said the kids of the parents on this thread shouldn't watch it. I have only answered for my kids and the kids in their class.

Yes, I'm aware it's a PG. We looked up a few parent review sites, such as Common Sense Media, which is usually pretty good, and it over all recommended 9+. Which I agree with, having then watched it. You don't have to agree with it yourself, it's subjective.

It was a question for OP based on her party guests, that's all.

Have you polled all of the children to see which age groups have watched it?? 😅

My 7 year old and all of his friends are obsessed with this movie. We’ve received several KPDH party invitations this school year! 😆

Different people do different things, I guess.

Seriously?? My 7 year old and all of his friends are obsessed with this movie. We’ve received several KPDH party invitations this school year! 😅

So does mine :) He's watching it with his big sisters so he wouldn't have got there on his own, but loves it nonetheless.

Maybe get some Hatsune Miku sweets/cans from this site. Not quite Demon Hunters, but in the same vein and UK stockists so will get to you quickly. My daughter got given some and honestly might be the greatest gift she ever got 😂

I don't know what ideas you have about the cake, but this popped up on my social media feeds the other day.

Glow in the dark Derpy Tiger cake!

Very happy to send you the printable "my little soda pop" pop can wrappers I made on photoshop if you like? 😁
Just been through this very situation- can recommend a karaoke machine and clip-in hair thingies from Sainsbos (and earplugs for yourself). Also had some screw in disco light bulbs. The rest the kids did themselves and even made their own girl band later 🤣

And definitely musical chairs and pass the parcel.

I would also suggest using Just Dance or else the youtube videos of people doing just dance or fan made mash ups of other K Pop songs! Blackpink, Fifty Fifty, BTS, Babymonster ...
