The KPop Demon Hunters fanfic Take My Hand has the entire bizarreness of the movie's premise get revealed on live, international TV. That leads to this, excerpted in its entirety because it's really, really hard to find a part that doesn't qualify for this thread:
I've linked to the specific chapter because, well, the rest of it isn't much less funny.
Quote:About an hour later, Choi Kang-min, Minister of National Defense for South Korea, was brushing his teeth and contemplating bed when his phone rang. The caller ID flashed: Seo Jin-taek. It took half a beat for his brain to catch up. Director of the National Intelligence Service, his thoughts supplied and not someone who calls lightly.
He straightened instinctively and answered. “Yes?”
A firm voice responded. “Sir, we have a first contact situation.”
Kang-min paused, toothbrush still in hand. “Come again?”
“We’ve confirmed contact with another dimension. Early intelligence indicates it’s fully populated and at least part of its leadership is hostile.”
“…Another dimension.”
“Yes, sir. It appears to be inhabited by what are best described as demons. Special Forces Command has secured a perimeter around a portal that opened in central Seoul. They’ve also taken custody of a friendly entity requesting asylum.”
Kang-min stared into his bathroom mirror, foam forgotten. “Demons.”
“Yes, sir. There’s more. The K-pop group HUNTR/X appears to be the latest generation of a private organization dedicated to monitoring and countering incursions from this dimension.”
There was a long pause.
“A K-pop group.”
“Yes, sir. Their rival group, the Saja Boys, are actual demons originally sent to sabotage the barrier between worlds. But they defected… after their lead singer fell in love with the lead singer of HUNTR/X. The individual we have in custody is one of the Saja Boys.”
Kang-min slowly sat on the edge of his bed. “So… a demon boy band… changed sides… for love.”
The voice did not falter. “Yes, sir. In addition, approximately eighty-four minutes ago, Jinu, the lead vocalist of the Saja Boys, was kidnapped by the demon king, Gwi-Ma, during a live broadcast of the International Idol Awards. He opened a portal on stage and forcibly pulled Jinu through it.”
“So he’s kidnapped now.”
“Yes, sir. The remaining Saja Boys, minus one who stayed behind, and all members of HUNTR/X entered the demon realm in pursuit. They used a teleporting tiger instead of the portal.”
“…A teleporting tiger.”
“Yes, sir. Meanwhile, the member who stayed behind, he goes by Romance, took questions from the audience. Some technicians and HUNTR/X’s manager decided to insert a portable camera rig through the portal. On live TV.”
Kang-min deadpanned, “Naturally.”
“The portal is apparently located above an active volcano. When lava splashed through, the show’s staff finally initiated evacuation and waited for the police to arrive.”
Silence.
Kang-min checked his watch, sighed, and said flatly, “I don’t know what kind of prank this is, but I’m not amused. Expect a formal complaint in the morning.” And he hung up.
Two minutes later, his phone rang again.
This time, the caller ID indicated that it was the personal line of the President of South Korea.
He stared at it, throat tightening. Then answered.
The President’s voice was calm but urgent. “Kang-min, it’s real. There’s a portal to a hell dimension in the middle of Seoul. A convoy is on its way. Get to the command center.”
Click.
Kang-min sat in silence, toothbrush still in hand, mint foam slowly dripping onto his pajama shirt.
“…Right,” he said. “Demons. K-pop. Volcano. Tiger. Portal.”
