Resumen

Este artículo examina cómo la película de animación "KPop Demon Hunters" (2025) subvierte deliberadamente la estructura narrativa del Viaje del Héroe de Joseph Campbell, proponiendo un modelo alternativo centrado en la aceptación de la vulnerabilidad y en la autenticidad performática. Mientras que el monomito campbelliano ha sido ampliamente adoptado en las estrategias de branding y diseño como modelo para las narrativas de marca, la película de Sony Pictures/Netflix demuestra los límites de esta estructura al confrontar cuestiones contemporáneas de identidad, vergüenza e imperfección. Mediante el análisis del viaje de la protagonista Rumi y la deconstrucción de los arquetipos masculinos representados por los "Saja Boys", el artículo presenta argumentos para defender que las narrativas posmodernas pueden beneficiarse de la vulnerabilidad compartida por encima de la superación heroica individual. Este análisis es relevante para los profesionales del diseño, el branding y los medios del conocimiento que buscan construir narrativas de marca auténticas y culturalmente relevantes en un contexto de saturación mediática y demanda de valores éticos.
