"I'm afraid I can't reveal much about the sequel story. I'd like to keep it a secret. But please look forward to it, as Chris and I plan to make a movie we want to see, just like the first film," director Maggie Kang said.

Kang, who directed Netflix animation "K-Pop Demon Hunters" (KDH), winner of two awards — Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song — at the 98th Academy Awards, made the remarks at a press conference held at CGV I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu on Tuesday to celebrate the Oscar wins. She hinted that "the scale will be bigger than the first film, and there will be a story with many events." The event was attended by key figures behind the Oscar triumph, including composers Nam Hee-dong, Lee Yu-han, and Kwak Jung-gyu, singer-songwriter and composer Jae Lee who also performed vocals, and co-director Chris Appelhans.
