✨ We don’t always crash photos—unless it’s with K-Pop Demon Hunters. ✨
This photo says everything.
Five creatives. Three awards in hand. One shared moment that captures what happens when bold storytelling, global culture, and real collaboration collide. Standing alongside the team behind KPop Demon Hunters is our own Rick Barrio Dill, right in the center of a night that celebrated innovation, risk, and creative vision at the 2026 Astra Awa
A Moment Bigger Than the Frame
K-Pop Demon Hunters represents a shift in how stories are told and received. It blends music, animation, genre, and global fandom into a singular voice that feels unmistakably of-the-moment. We were honored beyond words to be in the room as that impact was recognized in real time.
These are creators who understand they’ve built something that resonates beyond borders—and that the industry is paying attention.
RBD and the Room Where It Happens
Putting yourself in the space matters.
For us, Rick Barrio Dill being in this room reflects what SLAP The Network stands for: being present where culture is actively being shaped. Not watching from the sidelines—but standing shoulder to shoulder with creators whose work is redefining entertainment.
This isn’t just about being photographed at an awards show. It’s about being in the conversation—where projects like K-Pop Demon Hunters aren’t just celebrated, but discussed as signals of what’s next.
In the Room with Creators Shaping the Moment
As part of the night’s energy and connection, SLAP The Network was proud to share space with an incredible group of artists and storytellers, including:
