In their latest bout of performative outrage, pro-Palestinian activists are clutching their pearls and boycotting Netflix’s animated hit *KPop Demon Hunters*, whining about vague “Israeli ties” in the production, per *Koreaboo* and X posts.

The film, a Sony Pictures Animation gem released June 20, 2025, has the BDS crowd in a tizzy, demanding fans ditch its chart-dominating soundtrack—featuring fictional K-pop sensations Huntr/x and Saja Boys, outshining BTS and Blackpink—because of unverified claims about Israeli involvement. This is the same crew that tried to cancel K-pop’s “Big 4” last year over Starbucks coffee cups. Apparently, saving Gaza means skipping catchy tunes and demon-slaying cartoons. Netflix and Sony haven’t dignified the meltdown with a response, probably too busy counting their streaming profits.
