I just watched Kpop Demon Hunters and loved it so much! Did you catch all the spiritual truths woven into the story? I was so happy to see it touching on something I deeply believe: music has the power to heal, protect, and completely shift the energy around us. Here are my takeaways:
MUSIC = MAGIC
In the movie, Rumi sings through her shame and turns it into self-acceptance, and in doing so she heals herself and everyone listening. That is the magic of music.
Neuroscience shows that music does not just sound good, it literally changes the brain. Singing and listening to music releases dopamine and oxytocin, the same chemicals tied to pleasure, bonding, and healing. Studies also show music can reduce stress hormones like cortisol, lower blood pressure, and even ease physical pain. When we say music heals, we are not just being poetic. It is measurable.
LYRICS = SPELLS
Cursed songs weakened the fans and left them vulnerable. But when they heard empowering words, those lyrics became their armor.
This mirrors something psychologists know well: repeated words and thoughts rewire the brain. It is called neuroplasticity, and it is the brain’s ability to form new connections. When you sing or repeat lyrics, you are carving those beliefs deeper into your mind. Negative words reinforce stress, fear, and doubt, while uplifting lyrics reinforce confidence, joy, and resilience.
In short: lyrics are like affirmations set to music, and they leave a mark.
ATTENTION = REALITY
The fans’ focus literally created their reality. Their collective energy was feeding the demons until they turned their attention to uplifting music, which restored their free will and gave them strength to fight back.
Modern psychology says the same thing: what you focus on expands. Cognitive science shows that attention shapes perception and even memory. This is why two people can experience the same event but walk away with completely different realities.
On a collective level, group focus is powerful too. Social research proves that communities influence behavior, emotion, and even health outcomes.
What you focus on, individually or together, truly becomes your lived reality.
SELF-ACCEPTANCE = TRANSFORMATION (for you and everyone around you)
Like so many great stories, Kpop Demon Hunters shows the clash between light and dark. What makes it so powerful is how it shines a light on the battles we fight inside ourselves, like shame and guilt. Rumi’s journey is a beautiful example of this. As she embraces her true self, her voice shifts from being weighed down by pain to becoming a channel of healing. That transformation not only frees her but ripples outward, bringing strength and restoration to everyone listening.
The movie treats music as sacred, showing that when it is aligned with truth and belief, it becomes a force of real protection. The Honmoon (the great shield powered by collective energy) symbolizes this perfectly.
When fans were pulled into cursed songs, their energy fed the demons and weakened the Honmoon. But when they aligned with uplifting music, their collective voices strengthened the shield and restored their freedom.
It is such a powerful reminder that when we root our words and songs in self-acceptance and truth, we create an energy that does more than lift us up. It shields, empowers, and heals the entire community around us.
Since the beginning of time, humanity has used song as a way to move energy, connect with spirit, and call in the divine. Music is not just entertainment, it is a vessel for transformation. When you sing or even listen to words that align with love and truth, you are participating in that ancient practice of turning darkness into light.
What This Means For You
Kpop Demon Hunters might be an action-packed anime movie, but underneath all that it is showing us something real: music shapes us. It can drain our energy and weaken us, or it can heal us, empower us, and raise us up.
So here is your sign check your playlist. Ask yourself if the songs you are listening to are feeding your spirit or feeding your demons.
