Since its release, KPop Demon Hunters has become more than just a film — it has grown into a global phenomenon with an increasingly growing lineup of merchandise. The film has expanded beyond the screen with Mattel dolls, Little People Collector Sets, Squishmallows and even a Vans sneaker collab. And now, you can get ramen noodles inspired by the HUNTR/X members.
Yes, KPop Demon Hunters is getting in the ramen game with a new collaboration with South Korean instant noodle company Nongshim. The Seoul-based company (originally known as the Lotte Food Industrial Company) has been using the Netflix animated film to promote its line of packaged goods for a while now in Korea (see the photo below of when I went for a visit to Myeongdong), and now, Americans can get their hands on the same products state-side.
The collection features unique ramen flavors inspired by Rumi, Zoey and Mira, with each character represented by a signature flavor and a uniquely colored cup that reflects their identity. The noodle theme also connects directly to the movie, in which HUNTR/X members are seen enjoying noodles together during moments between concerts and demon-hunting.
