'KPop Demon Hunters x CASETiFY' transforms the visual identity of Netflix's animated film into a collectible tech accessory collection that merges entertainment, design, and fan culture.
Launching globally on June 30, 2026, the collaboration spans phone cases, charms, grip stands, and lifestyle accessories inspired by the film's protagonists, rival performers, and distinctive symbolic motifs. Rather than replicating scenes directly, the collection interprets character personalities through layered finishes, metallic accents, stylized graphics, and premium materials that translate the film's aesthetic into everyday objects.
Furthermore, a blind-box 'HUNTR/X CD Gripstand' series introduces an element of chance through a rare 'GOLDEN' edition featuring character signatures, reinforcing the growing appeal of collectible merchandise. Complementing the retail assortment, CASETiFY will showcase exclusive conceptual pieces—including the 'HUNTR/X Lightstick and Chrome Lotus' sculpture—at its Seongsu flagship, extending the collaboration beyond consumer products into a curated physical exhibition celebrating the franchise's visual world.
