About
the franchise
The
original film, released in 2025, tells the story of a K-pop girl group that
uses music and dance to combat demonic forces and protect the world. The film
was positioned as one of the most watched animated productions, standing out
for its soundtrack and choreography. The start of work on this continuation
marks the first step in an expansion strategy for intellectual property.
