The KPop Demon Hunters free screenings are part of the title’s one-year anniversary events, with Netflix Tudum listing free outdoor screenings in select U.S. areas from June 19 to June 26, 2026. Separate anniversary cinema screenings are also being held in several countries, while Korea’s CGV run is a limited theatrical re-release from June 12 to June 14, 2026, rather than the same free outdoor program. 1
For viewers searching for a free showing, the most important distinction is location. The source-backed free screenings are outdoor events in selected U.S. cities, while the Korean information available here points to CGV’s exclusive re-release, dubbed and subtitled formats, and sing-along screenings at some branches. 2

How to Decide Which Screening Applies to You
If you are looking specifically for a no-cost screening, focus on the U.S. outdoor program. Netflix Tudum’s anniversary notice identifies free outdoor screenings from June 19 through June 26, 2026, in select U.S. areas. The supplied source material does not provide a full city-by-city booking method, reservation rule, seating policy, or weather policy, so the safest practical takeaway is to verify the exact local event details before making travel plans. 1
If you are in Korea, the confirmed route is CGV’s short anniversary re-release from June 12 to June 14, 2026. Sports Kyunghyang reported that CGV planned the event as an exclusive re-release across 30 theaters nationwide, with both dubbed and subtitled versions available. 2 That makes the Korean run useful for viewers who want the theatrical experience, but the provided sources do not state that the CGV screenings are free.
The sing-along option is a separate point to check when choosing a CGV showtime. News1 reported via Daum that some locations would hold screenings where audiences can sing along to the OST, while Sports Kyunghyang identified six CGV branches and named CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall among them. 4 Because only some branches are included, viewers should not assume every CGV showing is a sing-along session.
CGV also linked the re-release to the film’s first anniversary and positioned it as a renewed theater experience. CJ CGV content operations team leader Jang Ji-yeon said the screening was arranged to offer “a special viewing experience once again” in theaters. 2 That quote fits the limited nature of the event: this is not described as a long general reissue, but as a brief anniversary presentation.
Korea CGV Re-Release Versus Free Outdoor Screenings
The easiest way to avoid confusion is to separate the two programs by country and format. The free event described in the source material is an outdoor U.S. screening program. The Korean event described in the source material is a CGV theatrical re-release, with set dates, nationwide participating branches, dubbed and subtitled versions, and some sing-along screenings. 1 2
There is also a timing difference. CGV’s Korea screenings happen from June 12 to June 14, 2026, while the U.S. free outdoor screenings run from June 19 to June 26, 2026. 1 2 Anyone comparing posts or search results should check the country first, then the date, then the format.
For Korean viewers, the practical next step is to look for the specific CGV branch and showtime, then confirm whether the listing is dubbed, subtitled, or sing-along. Newsis reported that CGV screenings were planned at around 30 theaters and included reservation information, while other reports consistently state the three-day run and the two available language formats. 5
For U.S. viewers, the practical next step is to identify whether the nearest listed city is part of the outdoor program. GamesRadar+ reported that the free outdoor screenings include cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Atlanta, but the provided material does not include full venue addresses, entry requirements, or whether advance registration is required. 3

Korean viewers should treat the CGV event as a short June 12-14 theatrical re-release and confirm branch, format, and sing-along availability before choosing a screening.
