This study aims to provide a hermeneutic reading of the cultural narratives embodied in K-Pop Demon Hunters from an inclusive perspective. To this end, inclusion is adopted as an analytical framework, and the interpretive lens is structured around three dimensions: recognition, participation, and transformation. K-Pop Demon Hunters is an animated musical fantasy film that merges K-pop performance, shamanic rituals, and digital storytelling centering on the narrative of Huntrix, a K-pop girl group confronting demons. Adopting a hermeneutic interpretive approach, the study reads the film as a layered cultural text whose meanings emerge through dialogic engagement between viewer and visual narrative. The analysis reveals that the film recontextualizes shamanic ritual as an artistic performance through musical rhythm and movement, reconfigures binary oppositions between human and other into relationships of coexistence grounded in shared vulnerability, and expands spectatorship into participatory engagement based on emotional empathy. Through these narrative operations, the film proposes new modes of cultural perception and relationality. Building on these findings, the study situates popular media within the context of art education and explores the pedagogical potential of the inclusive imagination—grounded in hybridity and affective connection—to foster intercultural understanding.
