""This is almost as bad as Oasis," I told the others in the WhatsApp group, because it really was. There we all were, hands hovering on mouses, as we waited for the Eventbrite page to refresh at 10am on the dot. The tickets became available, and with trembling fingers, I bought two tickets, exhaling with sheer relief, and the rush of adrenaline, when the email confirmation came through. I was in. Or rather, my six-year-old and her friend were in."
"This was not the buying of tickets for a hot new music festival, or a much-hyped reunion tour. Rather, these were tickets for a K-Pop: Demon Hunters 'themed' morning event, in a local hotel. If that last bit reads unfamiliar, consider yourself utterly blessed. There's barely a young girl in the land that hasn't fallen hook, line and sinker for this Netflix animation about a K-pop (Korean pop) girl group, Huntrix, who secretly battle demons while on tour to save their fans from supernatural danger."
Parents in a WhatsApp group frantically refreshed Eventbrite at 10am to secure tickets.

The event was a themed morning gathering for K-Pop: Demon Hunters at a local hotel. The Netflix animation centers on Huntrix, a K-pop girl group that secretly battles demons while touring. The show has captivated a vast number of young girls, who have embraced the series enthusiastically.
