## Article

Netflix just dropped a whole K-pop tour on Demon Hunter's Seattle metal name like 25 years and 12 albums never happened. Netflix parked Huntr/X merch and a planned global live tour on that name and still wants everyone to treat Huntr/X as some fresh original from the culture machine. Netflix registered Kpop Demon Hunters for merch after Demon Hunter already had recorded music and merch locked in 2022. Hyde Lane took Netflix to the Central District of California Tuesday because the overlap is almost complete. Someone actually paid 500 dollars for tickets thinking they bought the K-pop show. Netflix can keep their cartoon girl-group circus. Netflix just proved they need a Seattle stage name to even launch the tour.
