HUNTR/X is back. Netflix has released new KPop Demon Hunters videos revealing the full choreography for “How It’s Done,” giving viewers a proper look at the moves that were largely lost in the animated movie’s airborne demon-fighting sequence.
Netflix’s official choreography video features real-life dancers Leejung Lee, Bambi (Park Ji-eun), and Nara (Lee Nara) performing the complete routine in a dance studio. The release delivers on Netflix’s promise of “full choreo, no cuts,” letting fans follow the performance from beginning to end without the rapid editing and action interrupting the song’s original movie sequence.
Lee Jung, also known as Leejung Lee, choreographed the routine. She is a member of THEBLACKLABEL’s creative orbit and was involved in bringing the movement of Rumi, the group’s leader, to life through motion capture. Bambi and Nara also performed the live-action reference choreography that helped the animators translate the dance into the movements of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey.
Netflix has also released an animated rehearsal-style short featuring the HUNTR/X trio practicing “How It’s Done” in a studio. It gives Rumi, Mira, and Zoey room to show off the full routine without having to battle demons in the middle of their performance. The new videos offer two ways to enjoy the choreography: the animated characters performing it and the real dancers demonstrating the moves behind the sequence.
The release is part of a larger choreography rollout for KPop Demon Hunters. Netflix says official routines for “Golden,” “Takedown,” “Soda Pop,” and “Your Idol” are also coming to Tudum and the streamer’s social channels this week. The original choreographers, including Leejung Lee, Nain of Jam Republic, and K-Tigers, will perform the routines, with additional episodes planned to break down signature poses and formations.
For fans who have been trying to learn the dances from the film, the new videos provide a clearer guide than the original scenes could. “How It’s Done” opens with HUNTR/X showing off its skills before the performance turns into an action sequence high above the ground. Between the fast cuts and the fight, getting a clean look at every movement was never really the point.
Now, the song and choreography have a chance to take center stage. And with more KPop Demon Hunters routines on the way, HUNTR/X isn’t the only group getting its dance moves out of the movie and into the studio.
