Fans of the animated film KPop Demon Hunters are constructing their own glowing jewelry at home.
The movie, which centers on characters named Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, has become a global cultural phenomenon. Its popularity has extended beyond the screen into physical accessories, including stickers, life-sized illustrations, and wearable items. A feature published on November 3, 2026, details three specific methods for making light-up rings using common craft supplies.
The first design mimics the Saingeom weapon used by Rumi. This project requires a silver-colored metal ring base and a silicone jewelry mold with angular geometric shapes. The crafter mixes UV resin with translucent magenta or purple ink and a large quantity of strontium phosphate powder. After pouring the mixture into the mold, it cures under a UV lamp for two minutes. The finished resin piece is then attached to the ring base using high-strength adhesive.
A second option creates a rhythmic LED ring inspired by Mira. This version uses actual electronic components rather than pigments. The builder purchases mini touch or vibration LED modules typically found in toy stores. The ring's exterior structure is modeled from polymer or air-dry clay. A cavity is left inside to house the electrical component. The clay is painted in Mira's signature colors and sealed with varnish. Once the LED is installed, the ring illuminates when the wearer moves their hands.
The third design represents Zoey's Shinkal weapon. It uses a thin sheet of clear acrylic or shrink plastic. The crafter draws and cuts the silhouette of a sharp crystal or a Korean rune inspired by Zoey's arsenal. Fluorescent acrylic paint in electric yellow or neon tones decorates the edges. If shrink plastic is used, it is baked to become rigid. The finished silhouette is glued onto an elastic band or a transparent ring base.
All three projects are designed to be completed at home. They serve as aesthetic accessories for events or as functional nods to the film's mystical barrier concepts. The materials range from UV resin and strontium phosphate to polymer clay and electronic LED modules.
