The K-Pop phenomenon has taken the world by storm, with new emerging idols and global projects sprinkled throughout the year to keep fans guessing and anticipating. In recent months, US-produced Korean films have emerged to be the hot topic now, with mega companies riding on their wave with new films well on their way.

HYBE America and Paramount Pictures announced Tuesday (22nd July 2025) that they will be partnering for a new K-Pop-themed movie starring well-known K-Pop artists premiering in 2027. Here’s what we know so far about the untitled film:

The film will star two prominent Korean stars, namely Eric Nam (에릭남) and “K-Pop Demon Hunters” star Ji Young Yoo (유지영). Eric, who will voice Aang in Paramount’s upcoming feature, “The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender”, will work alongside Ji Young Yoo, who appeared in “Freaky Tales” and “Until Dawn”. The film will follow a young Korean American woman who defies her family’s wishes by enrolling in a televised competition to find the next K-pop girl group.

2. Directed by Benson Lee, With Big Names Joining Producer Lineup

Meanwhile, James Shin of HYBE America, Scooter Braun, Arthur Spector and Joshua Davis of Epic Magazine join the project as producers. “This film is my love letter to K-pop — its energy, passion, magic, and the incredible community behind it. I’m deeply grateful to Paramount Pictures for championing the project, to our producers for their unwavering dedication, to our talented and dynamic cast, and to the legends of the genre helping us bring this story to life. This one’s for the dreamers”, says James in a statement from Deadline.
